REST Resource: accounts.clients

Resource: Client

A client resource represents a client buyer—an agency, a brand, or an advertiser customer of the sponsor buyer. Users associated with the client buyer have restricted access to the Marketplace and certain other sections of the Authorized Buyers UI based on the role granted to the client buyer. All fields are required unless otherwise specified.

status

enum (ClientStatus)

The status of the client buyer.
clientName

string

Name used to represent this client to publishers. You may have multiple clients that map to the same entity, but for each client the combination of clientName and entity must be unique. You can specify this field as empty.
visibleToSeller

boolean

Whether the client buyer will be visible to sellers.
entityType

enum (EntityType)

An optional field for specifying the type of the client entity: ADVERTISER, BRAND, or AGENCY.

Numerical identifier of the client entity. The entity can be an advertiser, a brand, or an agency. This identifier is unique among all the entities with the same type. The value of this field is ignored if the entity type is not provided.

A list of all known advertisers with their identifiers is available in the advertisers.txt file.

A list of all known brands with their identifiers is available in the brands.txt file.

A list of all known agencies with their identifiers is available in the agencies.txt file.

string

The name of the entity. This field is automatically fetched based on the type and ID. The value of this field is ignored in create and update operations.
partnerClientId

string

Optional arbitrary unique identifier of this client buyer from the standpoint of its Ad Exchange sponsor buyer.

This field can be used to associate a client buyer with the identifier in the namespace of its sponsor buyer, lookup client buyers by that identifier and verify whether an Ad Exchange counterpart of a given client buyer already exists.

If present, must be unique among all the client buyers for its Ad Exchange sponsor buyer.
