For example:
POST https://api.gemini.yahoo.com/v3/rest/audience
Data passed
{
"advertiserId": "1530348",
"retentionDays": 13,
"tagId":"10034962",
"name": "My conversion audience",
"conversionRuleId": 10068488,
"type": "CONVERSIONRULE"
}
Example response
{
"errors": null,
"timestamp": "2017-11-20 22:23:23",
"response": {
"type": "CONVERSIONRULE",
"id": 50389642,
"advertiserId": 1530348,

Important
Your conversion audience will be available for targeting immediately, but it may take up to one day (24 hours) for the audience to finish populating with all the relevant users. You should expect limited delivery if you target this segment during this time window.

Method: To update one or more existing audiences, make a PUT call with one or more audience objects. Specify the fields to update; note that id and type are the only required parameters, all other fields are optional. The result will be the list of updated objects. Partial update is supported; fields that are either not passed or passed as null will be ignored for the update.
For example:
PUT https://api.gemini.yahoo.com/v3/rest/audience
Data passed
{
"advertiserId": "1530348",
"id": 50389647,
