Yahoo Native Lines

This article describes services for listing, reading, creating and updating |co| native lines.

Overview

Use the Line resource to list, read, create and update lines in DSP. This help page lists fields that apply to lines that bid specifically on Yahoo native ads marketplace inventory. For complete specifications, see the Lines help page for the Traffic API.

Endpoint

/traffic/lines

Resources

The following table lists fields that require attention when you create Yahoo native lines.

Field

Description

Data Type

Required

supplyType

The source of the line’s supply (Yahoo or third-party). Set to YAHOO for Yahoo native lines.

If you use a value other than the following, POST/PUT requests will fail with an appropriate error message.

Allowed values:

  • YAHOO

  • THIRD_PARTY

string

Optional; required for Yahoo native lines; use when isNativeEnabled is true.

language

The language key that Yahoo uses for serving Yahoo native ads. See Languages for information on the Language endpoint.

string

Required for Yahoo native lines; use when isNativeEnabled is true and supplyType = YAHOO.

isNativeEnabled

Set to True for Yahoo native lines.

Boolean

Optional; required for Yahoo native lines.

Create

To create a line, make a POST request to the line resource.

POST /traffic/lines

Important

A line cannot be created in ACTIVE status. Use PAUSED or INACTIVE status instead. After at least one type of geography targeting is enabled, the line can be activated with a PUT request. See Geography Targeting and Example: Activate Paused Line for more details.

Attributes

If you don’t set the supplyType but isNativeEnabled is true, the Traffic API assumes you are creating a third-party native line. If you don’t set isNativeEnabled but supplyType is YAHOO, the request will fail because supplyType is only valid for native lines.
