No way to pause a campaign?

I am not seeing any way to pause a campaign. Also it does not appear there is any way to know the current status of a campaign. Is this functionality somewhere in the API

Shai Kariv - MSFT

Pause/resume functionality is currently available only at the individual order level, via the PauseResumeOrder API (which is a bulk API, despite the misleading singular name).

Therefore, campaigns do not have a pause/resume "status" associated with them, that you could get or set.

Orders do.

Since you can pause, resume, and delete Campaigns in the UI, are there any plans to add this to the API

Shai Kariv - MSFT

Yes.

It's coming.

I'd be interested in hearing more from folks on this forum, what additional API features are desired, including gaps between API and UI functionality. I have a list but I'd like to hear what's on your mind, in priority order ...

Thanks,

Shai

Shai,

-Status for all objects (account/campaign/group/creative/keyword).
Do it like SNMP: administrative status (what the user wants) and operational
status (what the system says)

-Remove the submission step. Or add an autoSubmit flag in the order definition.
And definitely remove the dependencies between order start date and submission

-Partial updates: why do we have to provide the order start date when modifying
some targeting attributes

-Api for content match

-Remove the distribution site concept. If you need that, keep it as a targeting option
that can be updated when needed.And make it a list of sites, not just one.

-Documentation: any format is OK as long as you provide a precise list of changes.
Change bars (a la msword) are really good.

And my number one wish:
Get together with the adwords and panama designers and build us a common model/API.

Thanks Henry, I appreciate that.
