Validate a Line Item

Validates one Line Item. Use this call when you want to validate one row, and not to approve the whole plan.

Validation is the gate for execution. It changes nothing on any provider. To execute the line, you also need the mutation:write permission.

This call checks nothing about the content of the line. An incomplete line validates, and execution makes its own checks. Read the readiness of the line to see them.

A call on a line that is already validated succeeds and changes nothing. The Campaign Plan does not move: one validated line does not approve the Campaign Plan.

POST/context/campaign-plans/{slug}/line-items/{lineItemId}/validate
Authorization

Send Authorization: Bearer <credential>.

Use an API key (acr_…), from the AdCrunch console under Settings → API keys.

The credential names the organization, and no operation takes an organization parameter.

The Line Item, now validated. Validating an already-validated line is a no-op rather than an error, and the revision stays where it was. executions lists what the line created, the same as a read of its Campaign Plan.

advertiserIdstring | nullrequired
ageMaxnumber | nullrequired
ageMinnumber | nullrequired

Each bound is independently optional, so "35+" is expressible.

budgetnumber | nullrequired

Whole units of the plan’s currency.

campaignPlanIdstringrequired
channelstringrequired

The planner’s word for what is being bought, not a provider name. A plan may name a channel we cannot execute.

Milliseconds since the Unix epoch, UTC.

The line’s own bound where it has one, else the plan’s.

effectiveStartDatestring | nullrequired

A calendar date, YYYY-MM-DD.

endDatestring | nullrequired

A calendar date, YYYY-MM-DD.

executablebooleanrequired

Whether this channel could be executed at all today. Derived from our capabilities, never a promise that it will be.

executionsobject[]required

Increments on every write. Send it back as base_revision to edit; a stale one answers 409.

A calendar date, YYYY-MM-DD.

validated is the gate on execution.
