v201204 of the DFP API has launched and is ready for you to explore. In this version, we’ve added
custom fields,
expanded team and user functionality, and updated the
conversion reports columns. A full list of features can be found on our
release notes page.
Custom fieldsCustom fields is a new feature to the API that lets you add attributes to entities, such as orders and line items. For example, you can add your own
field to a
line item that would let salespeople add comments as a
string. Those comments would then be placed into
custom field values that are
added to each line item. Support for custom fields will be coming or the DFP UI soon, but if you have this feature enabled on your network now, you’ll be able to start working with them right away.
Teams changesThe way in which users are added to teams has changed starting in v201204. In previous versions, users were added to
team objects directly. Now, you can
associate users and teams, much like
line items and creatives. The new associations will also let you define
per user permissions, such as only letting some users have
read-only access.
Version deprecation reminderAs a
reminder, we are retiring support for v201103, v201104, and v201107 on
May 11th. If you haven’t upgraded yet, now would be a great time.
Our next hangout is
May 9th and we’d love to see you there. As always, let us know if you have any questions on our
forum.
