To simplify your ad creation and management process, Adform provides several settings that you can set as defaults for your ads and campaigns. With these default settings, you can organize your ads into batches by their attributes, formats, dimensions, or default values. In addition, you can set up landing pages that you can use as defaults for specific ads or campaigns.
Adform has several APIs to help you manage ad and campaign default settings:
-
Banners Attributes API: Create, update, delete, and retrieve lists of default ad settings.
-
Banners Default Values API: Update, delete, and retrieve lists of default ad settings values, backup ad images, ad landing pages, and ad name formats.
-
Banner Formats API: Create, update, delete, retrieve, and validate different ad dimensions and ad formats.
-
Landing Pages API: Create, update, delete, and retrieve lists of landing pages available for specific campaigns. Additionally, with this API, you can set landing pages as campaign defaults.
-
Campaign Settings API: Update, delete, and retrieve different campaign settings.
To set up ad and campaign defaults, you must use an advertiser ID and a campaign ID in your requests. Use these IDs to specify the campaigns to which the default settings will apply.
To start working with ad settings APIs, you need:
-
