# Read whether a placement's tracking code fires without an ad

`GET https://YOUR-NETWORK-DOMAIN/rest-api/tracking-code/placement/fire-without-ad.do`

Whether the placement's third-party tracking code is also emitted on a request the ad server did not fill with an ad. A default code (passback) does not count as a fill. Returns a JSON object with 'fireWithoutAd'.

## Query params

| Name | Type | Required | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `id` | integer | yes | `4001` | The unique numeric identifier of the placement |

## Responses

- `200` — The current setting
- `400` — Bad request — invalid or missing parameters
- `401` — Authentication error
- `403` — The role lacks the PLACEMENT_THIRD_PARTY_TRACKING permission, or no share on the placement
- `404` — No such placement, or tracking codes are not enabled for it

## Example request

```bash
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://YOUR-NETWORK-DOMAIN/rest-api/tracking-code/placement/fire-without-ad.do?id=4001' \
  --header 'X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY'
