Upcoming sunset for DBM API v1, SDF Download and Line Item services

Monday, November 30, 2020

As announced in August, deprecated services in the DoubleClick Bid Manager (DBM) API, comprised of DBM API v1, the DBM API v1.1 SDF Download service, and the DBM API v1.1 Line Item service, will be sunset on February 26, 2021.

If you are still using the DBM API v1 Reporting service, you must migrate to the DBM API v1.1 Reporting service before the sunset date to avoid an interruption of service. Consult the API release notes for details of the changes between v1 and v1.1. Differences to note during this migration include:

Queries created and accessed through the Reporting service require more specific filters in the params.groupBy field in v1.1. You might have to add more values to the params.groupBy field in order to create the same report structure generated in v1.
Responses from queries.listqueries and reports.listreports calls are paginated in v1.1. You have to update your implementation to traverse multiple pages if you want to consume more than the first 100 items returned.

If you are using any version of any other DBM API service, you must migrate to the Display & Video 360 (DV360) API.

The DBM API SDF Download service is being replaced by the DV360 API asynchronous SDF Download service. It features new filter options and a new download format.
The DBM API Line Item service is being replaced by the DV360 API Line Item service. This service provides create, update, and delete methods for line items using a more easily managed REST Line Item resource, separate from Entity Write File format currently used in the DBM API.
