Segments can be created, edited, deleted and viewed using the following REST api instructions.  When you have created a segment, you can attach that list to a demand or supply tag for targeting. 

Creating a Segment

SDK

Use tab completion with SDK to auto-complete function names or show field options!

In [1]: import springserve
 
In [2]: segm_list = springserve.segment_lists.new({'account_id':1, 'name':'my segment'})
 
In [3]: print segm_list.ok, segm_list.id
True 9

REST API

POST /api/v0/segments

Headers

Content-Type application/json
Authorization "yourAuthToken"

Body (example)


Device ID Segment

{
  "name": "My Device Segment",
    "description": "My Device description",
    "segment_type”: "list",
    "segment_list_type”: "device_id"
}


Cookie ID Segment

{
  "name": "My Cookie ID Segment",
    "description": "My Cookie ID description"
    "segment_type”: "list",
    "segment_list_type”: "cookie"
}

Required parameters: name. If not given a segment_type it will default to 'cookie'

Full options:

segment_type (list or pixel)



segment_list_type (cookie or device_id) – only applies when segment_type is list



segment_pixel_type (cookie or ip) – only applies when segment_type is pixel
