Lookup service

This read-only service allows you to retrieve the ID, name, code, state, and in some cases, descriptions of the following types of objects in your account. It also returns hierarchical information about these objects, for example, publisher ID for a placement or advertiser ID for a line item. In cases where you have limited information about objects, this service gives you an easy way to map to other relevant data. Bulk Reporting Feeds, for example, returns data grouped by object IDs. You can use the Lookup Service to match these IDs with names, codes, and so on.

  • Advertisers
  • Insertion Orders
  • Line Items
  • Campaigns
  • Creatives
  • Segment Pixels
  • Conversion Pixels
  • Publishers
  • Payment Rules
  • Sites
  • Placements
  • Labels

Note

  • The Lookup Service is different from the Search Service because it returns all objects of a certain type in your account. The Search Service allows you to search for objects with a specific name, code, or ID.
  • The Lookup Service can return a maximum of 50,000 objects.
  • The Lookup Service is based on data that is cached and updated once every 8 minutes.
