Create a Campaign

This endpoint creates a Sponsored Products (type: auction) or Onsite Display (type: preferred) campaign.Retailer budget vs Criteo budget: Including retailerId in the request creates a retailer budget campaign. Omitting retailerId (or setting it to null) creates a standard Criteo budget campaign — retailerId will be null in the response.Balance mapping at create time: You may optionally include drawableBalanceIds to map the campaign to one or more retailer budget balances at creation. All compatibility rules apply (same retailer, same billing type, same demand account). You can also map balances separately after creation using `POST /balances/{balanceId}/campaigns/append.

**Note on 403 vs 400**A 403 on campaign create means the retailerId you set is not recognized as an authorized retailer for your account. A 400 with a specific mismatch code means the retailer is valid but incompatible with the balance you included (see Error responses).Legacy version behavior (2025-10 and earlier): Returns 400 when attempting to create a retailer budget campaign.

Retailer Budgets CampaignsWhen creating a campaign for a retailer-budget balance, retailerId must be provided and must match the retailerId of the balance. Mismatched values will return a RetailerMismatchWithBalance error. Learn more about Retailer budgets here.

Responses

All validation errors on campaign create use code: "validation-error".The error type is identified by a bracketed prefix in the title field.

Status	Title	Description
🟢 `200`		Call completed with success
🟢 `201`		Campaign was created successfully
🔴 `400`	`[retailer-id-mismatch]`	The `retailerId` on the campaign doesn’t match the `retailerId` on one of the balances in `drawableBalanceIds`. Also returned when balances from multiple retailers are included.
🔴 `400`	`[balance-type-mismatch]`	Billing type mismatch — e.g. retailer budget campaign with a Criteo budget balance.
🔴 `400`	`[account-mismatch]`	The balance in `drawableBalanceIds` belongs to a different demand account than the campaign being created.
🔴 `403`	`authorization-unknown`	The `retailerId` in the request is not recognized as an authorized retailer for this account. Use `GET /retailers/search` to discover eligible retailers first.

🔴 `400`	`AccountMismatchWithBalance`	The balance in `drawableBalanceIds` does not belong to the request account.
