Create a Screenshot Request

The Campaign object

The campaign object is used to tell us where to store the Ad and Screenshot data for the request. You must included either campaign.id or campaign.name in the request.

Using campaign.name is the most common, as we will find or create a Campaign using this key

• campaign.id -> the Ad Reform ID for an existing Campaign. Use this if you know the specific ID for the campaign you want to use, otherwise use campaign.name

• campaign.name -> the name you want to use for the Campaign. If a Campaign already exists with this name, we'll use that, otherwise we'll create a new one with this value as the name.

The Ad object

The ad object (within each object in the screenshot_requests array) is used to indicate what ad data you want to use in the screenshots you're requesting. This can be entirely new ad data (i.e. an ad creative that does not yet exist in your Ad Reform account), or it can be the id or lookup_key pointing to an existing ad.

• ad.id -> the Ad Reform ID for an existing Ad in your account

• ad.lookup_key -> a unique ID for an Ad. If an Ad already exists with this key, we'll use that Ad, otherwise we'll create a new one with this value as the lookup_key

• ad.media -> an object with type and content keys that contains actual Ad creative data.

You can use both ad.media (to send in raw ad data) and ad.lookup_key together in a request, so future requests with the same lookup_key will be associated to the same Ad in Ad Reform

The Media object

To create a new ad, provide ad creative content in the media object (within the ad object):

"ad": {
  "media": {
    "type": "url"
    "content": "https://url-to-ad-creative-content.com"
  }
}

Supported media types

Here are the supported type values and some related content examples:

Type	Content	Description
