Is it possible upload a video using the admanager API for use in creatives? I mean upload a video file, not use a video URL on ads.

Hi Matheus,

Thank you for contacting the Ad Manager API support team.

Upon checking, I can confirm that uploading a video file using the Ad Manager API is not possible/supported. Instead, you can create a video creative using the available fields in the VideoCreative type, which include the URL of the video file. Let us know if you have any further queries.

Regards,

Ad Manager API Team

Hi James,

Thank you for getting back to us.

You can use the createCreative method provided by the CreativeService in the Ad Manager API to upload the image and create a new image creative object in an API call. You may refer to this sample java code in java for the same.

Hope this helps.
