Videos API: New Media Attribution Fields for Third-Party Integration
Starting with the 202602 version, we have introduced two optional fields to the /videos endpoint's initializeUploadRequest: templateName and linkbackContext. Developers can now track and attribute videos created using third-party tools, companies, or templates. You can provide attribution metadata using the following optional fields:- templateName: A string identifying the name of the template used to create the video (Example: "Sunshine birthday wishes").
- linkbackContext: A string that provides context for linking back to the original source, such as a URL pointing to the specific template or tool.
These fields allow downstream systems to identify the source template or tool used during video creation and enable deep linking back to the original resource when needed. When a video is created with these attribution fields, LinkedIn can display the template name and provide a direct link to the source, enabling attribution and allowing advertisers and content creators to reference the tools or templates used during video creation.
Ad Campaigns API & Ad Budget Pricing API: Qualified leads available as optimization target for Lead Generation campaign objective
Starting with the 202602 version, we have introduced MAX_QUALIFIED_LEAD as a supported value for optimizationTargetType field used in the /adCampaigns and /adBudgetPricing endpoints when using LEAD_GENERATION as campaign objectiveType. This optimizes lead generation campaigns to target high-quality leads using qualified lead data sent from Conversions API (where conversion rule type must be QUALIFIED_LEAD) or CRM data shared from Business Manager.
