# Create advertiser OS targeting

`POST https://YOUR-NETWORK-DOMAIN/rest-api/advertiser/{advertiserId}/targeting/operating-system/create.do`

Creates an operating system targeting rule for the specified advertiser. Optionally includes a specific OS version and comparison relation for version-level targeting. Use the OS values and OS versions endpoints to retrieve available options. Requires UPDATE permission on the advertiser and MANAGE_DEMAND_TARGETING user permission.
