Disclaimer Record - Bulk

  • Article

Defines a disclaimer that can be downloaded and uploaded in a bulk file.

You can associate a disclaimer with a campaign in the account. Use the Campaign Disclaimer records to manage disclaimer associations.

You can download all Disclaimer Ad Extension records in the account by including the DownloadEntity value of DisclaimerAdExtensions in the DownloadCampaignsByAccountIds or DownloadCampaignsByCampaignIds service request. Additionally the download request must include the EntityData scope. For more details about the Bulk service including best practices, see Bulk Download and Upload.

The following Bulk CSV example would add a new Disclaimer to the account's shared library.

Type,Status,Id,Parent Id,Campaign,Client Id,Modified Time,Start Date,End Date,Ad Schedule,Use Searcher Time Zone,Disclaimer Layout,Name,Popup Text,Title,Final Url,Mobile Final Url

If you are using the Bing Ads SDKs for .NET, Java, or Python, you can save time using the BulkServiceManager to upload and download the BulkDisclaimerAdExtension object, instead of calling the service operations directly and writing custom code to parse each field in the bulk file.

var uploadEntities = new List<BulkEntity>();

For a Disclaimer record, the following attribute fields are available in the Bulk File Schema.

Ad Schedule

The list of day and time ranges that you want the record to be displayed with your ads. Each day and time range includes the scheduled day of week, start/end hour, and start/end minute. Each day and time range is enclosed by left and right parentheses, and separated from other day and time ranges with a semicolon (;) delimiter. Within each day and time range the format is Day[StartHour:StartMinue-EndHour:EndMinute].

The possible values of StartHour range from 00 to 23, where 00 is equivalent to 12:00AM and 12 is 12:00PM.

The possible values of EndHour range from 00 to 24, where 00 is equivalent to 12:00AM and 12 is 12:00PM.

The possible values of StartMinute and EndMinute range from 00 to 60.

The following example demonstrates day and time ranges during weekdays from 9:00AM through 9:00PM: (Monday[09:00-21:00]);(Tuesday[09:00-21:00]);(Wednesday[09:00-21:00]);(Thursday[09:00-21:00]);(Friday[09:00-21:00])

Add: Optional. If you do not set this field, the record will be eligible for scheduling anytime during the calendar start and end dates.
Update: Optional. The individual day and time ranges cannot be updated. You can effectively update the day and time ranges by sending a new set that should replace the prior set. The Ad Schedule, End Date, Start Date, and Use Searcher Time Zone fields depend on each other and are updated together. If you leave all of these fields empty during update, then none of them are updated. If you include values for any of these fields, then the prior values for all of these fields are removed or replaced. To remove all prior schedule settings, set each of these fields to delete_value.
Delete: Read-only

Client Id

Used to associate records in the bulk upload file with records in the results file. The value of this field is not used or stored by the server; it is simply copied from the uploaded record to the corresponding result record. It may be any valid string to up 100 in length.

If you leave all of these fields empty during update, then none of them are updated. If you include values for any of these fields, then the prior values for all of these fields are removed or replaced. To remove all prior schedule settings, set each of these fields to delete_value.
