timezone

enum

The timezone of the campaign. See API Timezones for details and accepted values. If no timezone is set, this will default to the advertiser's timezone, which defaults to the member's timezone, which defaults to EST5EDT. Campaign daily budgets are reset at midnight in the timezone of the campaign, so this field determines that time.

The advertiser's timezone

alerts

object

Read-only. The conditions that are preventing the campaign from serving. There are two types of alerts: pauses and warnings. Pauses are considered intentional and user-driven, whereas warnings are considered unintentional. For example, "State is set to inactive" is considered a pause, whereas "No creatives are associated with this campaign" is considered a warning. To retrieve campaigns based on pauses and/or warnings, you must pass certain query string parameters in the GET request. For more details, including a complete list of possible pauses and warnings, see Alerts below.

When multiple creatives of the same size are trafficked via a line item, this field's setting is used to determine the creative rotation strategy that will be used. Note that creatives must be managed on the campaign in order to use this field. Allowed values:

• even: The default. Use the standard AppNexus creative optimization algorithm, where each creative's valuation is computed independently, and the best-valued creative is chosen to serve.
• weighted: Creative rotation is based on a user-supplied weight.
• ctr-optimized: The creative with the highest CTR delivers the most.

boolean

If true, the campaign will attempt to spend its overall lifetime budget evenly over the campaign flight dates. If true, you cannot set a daily_budget, you cannot set enable_pacing to false, and you must first establish a lifetime_budget, a start_date, and an end_date for the campaign.

false

lifetime_pacing_span

int

In the event of an underspend event, this indicates the number of days across which the underspent amount will be distributed. The default value of null indicates a value of three (3) days.

null

int

For a campaign targeting direct inventory (inventory_type is "direct"), since you have already paid for inventory, there is no need to input a buying strategy. However, you can set the campaign's priority to weight the campaign against other direct campaigns within your account. The campaign with the highest priority will always win, even if a lower priority campaign bids more. For more information about managing priority, see Bidding Priority (customer login required).

cadence_modifier_enabled

boolean

If true, bids will be adjusted upward and downward based on the frequency and recency of the user. Typically, bids are increased for low frequency-recency impressions and decreased for high frequency-recency users. This feature is based on the idea that the effectiveness of an ad differs when a user hasn't seen the ad before, hasn't seen it many times, or hasn't seen it recently. For more details, see Cadence Modifier (customer login required).

cpm_bid_type

enum

Possible values:

• "base" - Bid a fixed amount.
• "average" - Bid Estimated Average Price (EAP), an estimate of the price that is likely to win about 50% of the impressions from AppNexus platform sellers based on historical bids and their success or failure. Since off-platform sellers (e.g., Google AdX, Rubicon, etc.) conduct a secondary auction, bidding EAP does not necessarily ensure winning half of off-platform impressions.
• "clearing" - Bid Estimated Clear Price (ECP), an estimate of the price that is likely to win most impressions from AppNexus platform sellers based on historical bids and their success or failure. Since off-platform sellers (e.g., Google AdX, Rubicon, etc.) conduct a secondary auction, bidding ECP does not necessarily ensure winning off-platform impressions.
• "predicted" - Vary bids based on the likelihood of a click or conversion for each piece of inventory. For predicting CPC, use cpc_goal. For predicting CPA, see Pixels below.
• "margin" - Bid a % margin of the revenue that the advertiser pays you. See bid_margin.

• "custom_model" - Calculate your bid price based on a custom predictive model. You set which model to use in the bid_model object. See AppNexus Programmable Bidder for more details (customer login required).

  You can set cpm_bid_type to "custom_model" only when inventory_type is "rtb".

• "none" - None is available only if you pay on a per-click or per-conversion basis, and it will result in not being able to bid CPM.

POST, unless inventory_type is set to "direct".

base_bid

double

A CPM bid. May be modified by the cadence_modifer.

POST, if cpm_bid_type is "base"

min_bid

double

Set a minimum bid that will apply to variable pricing models (See cpm_bid_type).

max_bid

double

Set a maximum bid that will apply to variable pricing models (See cpm_bid_type).

bid_margin

double

The percent margin of the revenue that the advertiser pays you. For example, if your booked revenue is $1 CPM, and you set a bidding strategy margin of 25%, your campaign will bid $0.75. If your booked revenue type is a CPA or CPC goal, it will apply your desired margin and optimize to that predicted goal.

POST, if cpm_bid_type is "margin"

cpc_goal

double

You may wish to vary bids based on the likelihood of some conversion event, either a click or an acquisition, for that particular inventory, in order to attain a specific cost per click or cost per acquisition. In this case the AppNexus Console determines a bid based on past conversion rates and based on how much you value a conversion, whether you define it as a click or an acquisition (registration, purchase, etc.).

POST, if cpm_bid_type is "predicted" and the roi_click_goal and roi_view_goal are not set in the pixels array.

max_learn_bid

double

When using the cpm_bid_type "predicted", the optimization engine submits "learn" bids to learn about new inventory. If necessary, enter the max CPM dollar amount for these bids. Note: When you set both max_learn_bid for learn bids and max_bid for non-learn bids, the lower of the two will be used for learn.

Note: When you set both max_learn_bid for learn bids and max_bid for non-learn bids, the lower of the two will be used for learn.

null

cadence_type

enum

The level at which the cadence modifier is applied. Possible values: "advertiser" or "creative".

"advertiser"

defer_to_li_prediction

boolean

If true, this campaign will temporarily change the level at which it learns while maintaining a specified profit margin percentage. See Defer to Line Item Revenue with a % Margin for more details.

false

optimization_lookback

array of objects

Optimization is based on the last 30 days of data, evenly weighted. You can use this field to give more weight to certain days within that window. Possible values for "day": 0 - 29. Possible values for "bias_percent": 0 - 100. Example:
