GET/ad_campaign/{campaign_id}/get_ads_by_inventory_reference

This method retrieves Promoted Listings ads associated with listings that are managed with the Inventory API from the specified campaign.

Supply the campaign_id as a path parameter and use query parameters to specify the inventory_reference_id and inventory_reference_type pairs.

In the Inventory API, an inventory reference ID is either a seller-defined SKU value or an inventoryItemGroupKey (a seller-defined ID for an inventory item group, which is an entity that's used in the Inventory API to create a multiple-variation listing). To indicate a listing managed by the Inventory API, you must always specify both an inventory_reference_id and the associated inventory_reference_type.

Call getCampaigns to retrieve all of the seller's the current campaign IDs.

Note: This method only applies to the Cost Per Sale (CPS) funding model; it does not apply to the Cost Per Click (CPC) funding model. See Funding Models in the Promoted Listings Playbook for more information.

ads.bidPercentagestring

The user-defined bid percentage (also known as the ad rate) sets the level that eBay increases the visibility in search results for the associated listing. The higher the bidPercentage value, the more eBay promotes the listing.

The value specified here is also used to calculate the Promoted Listings fee. This percentage value is multiplied by the final sales price to determine the fee.

The Promoted Listings fee is determined at the time the transaction completes and the seller is assessed the fee only when an item sells through a Promoted Listings ad campaign.

The bidPercentage is a single precision value that is guided by the following rules:

  • These values are valid:
       4.1,    5.0,    5.5, ...
  • These values are not valid:
       0.01,    10.75,    99.99,
       and so on.
This is default bid percentage for the campaigns using the Cost Per Sale (CPS) funding model, and this value will be overridden by any ads in the campaign that have their own set bid percentages.

If a bid percentage is not provided for an ad, eBay uses the default bid percentage of the associated campaign.

Note:This field will always be returned for campaigns that use the Cost Per Sale (CPS) funding model. It will not be returned for campaigns that use the Cost Per Click (CPC) funding model.

Note: This field has a minimum value of 2.0 and a maximum value of 100.0.

This field is only returned if the ad is associated with a SKU or an inventory item group value.
