Parameters are described below.

Parameter

Description

Required

RetargetingRequest object

Action

Action: Add.

Yes

Login

The username of the client to add the retargeting for.

For advertisers, this parameter is ignored.

For agencies

Retargetings

Array of Retargeting objects containing retargeting parameters for ads.

Yes

Retargeting object

AdID

The ad ID.

Yes

RetargetingConditionID

ID of the retargeting condition. The retargeting condition must contain at least one "all" or "or" type of group.

Yes

ContextPrice

Bid for the Yandex Advertising Network when using the MaximumCoverage and Default strategies (in the currency specified in the Currency parameter).

The maximum and minimum values are provided in the {#T} table.

If an automatic display strategy is selected for the campaign, the value that is passed is ignored, and the 209 warning is returned.

When using manual strategies

Currency

The currency the bid is shown in.

Acceptable values: RUB, CHF, EUR, KZT, TRY, UAH, USD, BYN. The value must match the campaign currency; otherwise, an error is returned with code 245.

Yes

AutoBudgetPriority

Priority of the retargeting when using automatic strategies. Possible values:

  • Low — Low priority.
  • Medium — Average priority.
  • High — High priority.

High priority provides 10-15% more impressions than for keywords/retargetings with medium priority. Low priority reduces impressions by the same amount. If there is only one retargeting for the ad or there are no keywords, this parameter does not affect the number of impressions.

The default value is Medium.

If a manual display strategy is selected for a campaign, the value that is passed is saved, but does not affect impressions.

No

StatusPaused

Retargeting is temporarily disabled (not used for displaying ads) — Yes/No. The predefined value is No.

No

An error when adding one of the retargetings does not cause the entire operation to be canceled, and does not affect the success of adding the other retargetings.
