rateOrCostNanos

[Simon Vintrob]

Hi all!

I'm writing a program that talks with CM API to automate the creation of placements, placement groups, assets, creatives and ads. Lately I've been having some trouble setting the pricing schedule for placement groups, as I can't seem to set the cost of the package, only the rate; though that would be alright if I knew the formula used to calculate rate based on units and cost. Does anyone know how to set the cost for a package instead of the rate/the aforementioned formula?

Any help would be greatly welcomed

Thanks

Hi Simon,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us.

 

Please be informed that we can only respond in API perspective. Base on what you are trying to do, I believe you can set this rate/cost in pricing schedule using the rateOrCostNanos field describe in this documentation. However, with regards to actual amount of what to input here or the formula of the rate for this, we would highly recommend reaching out to our product support team as this is completely out of our merits. Their specialist there should be able to provide a more concise insights regarding this.

Hi Michael

I spoke with the support team, they told me that as it was an issue regarding the API I should talk with your team u_u

Personally I agree with them, they seemed really baffled when I told them my problem, they also couldn't give me a concise response regarding the formula for the rate

Do you happen, by any chance, to know how rateOrCostNanos works? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm kinda lost here.

Thank you very much, best regards

Hi Simon,

 

Thank you for responding back to us.

 

As far as I know, the rateOrCostNanos should be the rate or cost of this pricing period in nanos (i.e., multiplied by 1000000000).

 

For example:

Configured rate in DCM = 0.000000001

Value in rateOrCostNanos = 1

 

Let me know if this helps.
