Custom Audiences Users

POST accounts/:account_id/custom_audiences/:custom_audience_id/users¶

This endpoint will allow partners to add, update and remove users from a given custom_audience_id. The endpoint will also accept multiple user identifier types per user as well.

All data being provided in the users field of the request except partner_user_id must be hashed using SHA256 and normalized.

Batch Requests

The current maximum batch size is 2500 for this endpoint. The batch size is determined by the number of operations (Update/Delete) per request. For example, over 2500 operation objects ({"operation_type": "Update/Delete", [..] }) in one array result in an error.
The max request POST body size this endpoint can accept is 5,000,000 bytes.
The rate limits for this endpoint are 1500 per 1 minute window
All parameters are sent in the request body and a Content-Type of application/json is required.
Batch requests fail or succeed together as a group and all API responses for both error and success preserve the item order of the initial request.

Batch Responses

The response returned by the Ads API contains two fields, a success_count and a total_count. These values must always be equal, and they are a count of the number of records in the request that have been processed by the backend. A situation where the number of records sent in the request body is not equal the success_count and total_count should be treated as an error condition, requiring a retry.

Batch Errors

Request-level errors (eg. max batch size exceeded) are shown in the response under the errors object.
Item-level errors (eg. missing required parameters) are show in the response under the operation_errors object.
The index of the error in the operation_errors refers to the index in the input item, with the corresponding error message
