Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adexchange.buyer scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adexchange.buyer. You can set the scope for this method like this: adexchangebuyer2-v2-beta1 --scope <scope> accounts clients-create ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <account-id> (string)
    • Unique numerical account ID for the buyer of which the client buyer is a customer; the sponsor buyer to create a client for. (required)

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Client:
  client-account-id: string
  client-name: string
  entity-id: string
  entity-name: string
  entity-type: string
  partner-client-id: string
  role: string
  status: string
  visible-to-seller: boolean

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . client-account-id=et
    • The globally-unique numerical ID of the client. The value of this field is ignored in create and update operations.
  • client-name=magna
    • Name used to represent this client to publishers. You may have multiple clients that map to the same entity, but for each client the combination of clientName and entity must be unique. You can specify this field as empty. Maximum length of 255 characters is allowed.
  • entity-id=no
    • Numerical identifier of the client entity. The entity can be an advertiser, a brand, or an agency. This identifier is unique among all the entities with the same type. The value of this field is ignored if the entity type is not provided. A list of all known advertisers with their identifiers is available in the advertisers.txt file. A list of all known brands with their identifiers is available in the brands.txt file. A list of all known agencies with their identifiers is available in the agencies.txt file.
  • entity-name=ipsum
    • The name of the entity. This field is automatically fetched based on the type and ID. The value of this field is ignored in create and update operations.
  • entity-type=voluptua.
    • An optional field for specifying the type of the client entity: ADVERTISER, BRAND, or AGENCY.
  • partner-client-id=at
    • Optional arbitrary unique identifier of this client buyer from the standpoint of its Ad Exchange sponsor buyer. This field can be used to associate a client buyer with the identifier in the namespace of its sponsor buyer, lookup client buyers by that identifier and verify whether an Ad Exchange counterpart of a given client buyer already exists. If present, must be unique among all the client buyers for its Ad Exchange sponsor buyer.
  • role=sanctus
    • The role which is assigned to the client buyer. Each role implies a set of permissions granted to the client. Must be one of CLIENT_DEAL_VIEWER, CLIENT_DEAL_NEGOTIATOR or CLIENT_DEAL_APPROVER.
  • status=sed
    • The status of the client buyer.
  • visible-to-seller=true
    • Whether the client buyer will be visible to sellers.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.
