true vastTagUrl string
Third-party VAST/VPAID tag URL of a VAST_2_0_TAG_URL banner (placementType VIDEO_PLACEMENT). Takes precedence over url, which older clients send for the same value. The player follows the tag, so the banner needs no ad unit; adUnitWidth + adUnitHeight are kept when given.

100 vpaidFrameworkId integer
Conditionally required — when bannerType is VPAID_FRAMEWORK. VPAID framework ID
50 linkToPlacements boolean
If true, after the update link the banner to every placement its auto-linking rules match: the banner's own when allowNewPlacementsAutoLinking is on (narrowed by autolinkCategories / autoLinkLabels), otherwise its campaign's. With auto-linking off on both, or without the Link Placements to Banners or Auto-Linking Settings permission, nothing is linked and the field is listed in ignoredFields with the reason.
false selfServRequest boolean
If true, applies Self-Serve template property handling
false status string
New approval status to set (NEW, PENDING, APPROVED, REJECTED). Changing it needs the BANNERS_APPROVAL permission; without it the status is left as it is and listed in ignoredFields, while the rest of the update is saved. Sending the current status changes nothing.
APPROVED deleteImage boolean
If true, removes the banner's current image file; a LOCAL_FILE banner must then upload its replacement in imageFile. imageFileUrl replaces the image without it.
false mediaAssetId integer
Media library file the creative uses instead of an upload (GET /rest-api/media-library/assets.do): a video for LOCAL_VIDEO, an image for LOCAL_FILE, a video ADVANCED_LOCAL_VIDEOS adds to its media files. The file is referenced, not copied. A TEMPLATE banner whose template has one HTML5 ZIP property takes a library ZIP here; with several, send mediaAsset.<property key> per property, e.g. mediaAsset.$$HTML5_HEAD$$=42. Requires the MEDIA_LIBRARY permission.
42 html5ZipUrl string
URL of the HTML5 creative's ZIP archive, for a TEMPLATE banner whose template has one HTML5 ZIP property - the way to supply it without a multipart upload. At most 10 MB; the archive must unpack within the HTML5 limits (by default 1000 files, 20 MB a file, 50 MB in all, no path outside its folder). The server downloads the file once (http/https to a public host only, 10 s to connect or stall, 30 s in all, 3 redirects), types it from its own bytes and stores it exactly as the same file uploaded through the console: the same type, size and dimension checks, the same sanitising (SVG) and the same storage/CDN. A URL that is unreachable, not public, too large or of the wrong type is a 400 naming the parameter. For a template with several HTML5 ZIP properties send html5ZipUrl[<property key>] per property instead, e.g. html5ZipUrl[$$HTML5_HEAD$$]. On update it replaces the stored archive.
https://cdn.example.com/creatives/summer-sale-300x250.zip fileUrl string
URL of the file for a TEMPLATE banner's FILE property (an image or video the template renders) - the way to supply it without a multipart upload; the file must be of a content type the property allows. At most the video size limit (10 MB when that is lower). The server downloads the file once (http/https to a public host only, 10 s to connect or stall, 30 s in all, 3 redirects), types it from its own bytes and stores it exactly as the same file uploaded through the console: the same type, size and dimension checks, the same sanitising (SVG) and the same storage/CDN. A URL that is unreachable, not public, too large or of the wrong type is a 400 naming the parameter. For a template with several FILE properties send fileUrl[<property key>] per property instead, e.g. fileUrl[$$IMAGE$$]. On update it replaces the stored file.
https://cdn.example.com/creatives/hero-1200x627.png refreshHostedFiles boolean
With hostExternalFiles on: download every link of the EXTERNAL_FILE, EXTERNAL_VIDEO or EXTERNAL_NATIVE banner again, for a file that changed behind an unchanged link. A link that changed is downloaded again without it.
