This article describes resources and services for reading, adding, and updating display and video creatives individually and in bulk.

Overview

A creative is an object that defines the image or video asset that is the foundation of an ad.

The Yahoo DSP API supports the following types of creatives:

DISPLAY_HOSTED

A hosted display creative defines an image asset that is hosted by Yahoo.

DISPLAY_THIRD_PARTY

A third-party display creative defines an image asset that is hosted by a third-party server.

NATIVE_DISPLAY

A native display creative defines an image asset that integrates with mobile content layouts.

NATIVE_VIDEO

A native video creative defines a video asset that integrates with mobile content layouts.

VIDEO_HOSTED

A hosted video creative defines a video asset that is hosted by Yahoo.

VIDEO_THIRD_PARTY

A third-party video creative defines a video asset that is hosted by a third-party server.

AUDIO_HOSTED

A hosted audio creative defines an audio asset that is hosted by Yahoo.

AUDIO_THIRD_PARTY

A third-party audio creative defines an audio asset that is hosted by a third-party server.

A single creative may be used in many different ads. Every ad is defined by a creative, which is identified by its creativeId. To learn more, refer to Ads.
