Search Audiences

Returns a list of audiences that match the provided filters. If present, the filters are AND’ed together when applied. You can search audiences by audience IDs, advertiser IDs, segment IDs and/or ad set IDs.

Name

Required / Optional

Description

limit

optional

The number of elements to be returned. The default is 50 and the maximum is 100.

offset

optional

The (zero-based) offset into the collection. The default is 0.

{
    "data": {
        "type": "AudienceSearch",
        "attributes": {
            "audienceIds": null,
            "advertiserIds": null,
            "audienceSegmentIds": null,
            "adSetIds": ["1001"]
        }
    }
}

Delete Audiences

Deletes the audiences associated with the given audience IDs.
{
    "data": [
        {
            "id": "1001",
            "type": "Audience"
        }
    ]
}

Compute Audiences sizes

If you have already created an audience, and would like to use it’s size, you can use this endpoint. It returns the size of one or more audience IDs (if available and if supported). For those whose size cannot be retrieved, one or multiple errors are returned.
{
    "data": [
        {
            "id": "1001",
            "type": "Audience"
        },
        {
            "id": "1002",
            "type": "Audience"
        },
        {
            "id": "1003",
            "type": "Audience"
        }
    ]
}

Estimate Audience size

If you have the structure of the audience, but have not created it yet, and would like to estimate it’s size, you can use this endpoint. It returns the size estimation for an audience (if available and if supported). If the size cannot be estimated, an error is returned. This endpoint is resource-intensive, this is why the bulk workflow is not supported.
{
    "data": {
        "type": "Audience",
        "attributes": {
            "advertiserId": "4949",
            "algebra": {
                "and": [
                    {
                        "or": [
                            { "audienceSegmentId": "42914" },
                            { "audienceSegmentId": "19234" }
                        ]
                    },
                    {
                        "not": { "audienceSegmentId": "3482" }
                    }
                ]
