Vistar Media Marketplace SSP API

Creatives

The Creative resource represents a specific creative provided by a buyer that targets one of your Networks.

Your approval status of the Creative is in the audit object within the Creative.

The API allows you to list and retrieve Creatives and update their audit values.

Creatives can be categorized using IAB categories and your own custom Tags. The Creative Category and Tag endpoints allow you to discover ids to use when updating Creatives. You can also create new Tags.

You can also access a Creative's assets and associated Campaign information.
