Creative External API

The Creative External API uploads creative assets and publishes ads to ad networks programmatically, bypassing the AppsFlyer Creative Dashboard UI. It is asynchronous — a batch is submitted for upload and publication and returns a batch identifier, then per-item processing status and results are polled separately (AppsFlyer recommends starting at a 5-second poll interval with exponential backoff capped at 60 seconds). Facebook (Meta) is the currently supported destination network. Authenticated with the account API V2 token as a bearer token.

x-no-openapi: AppsFlyer documents this API as a narrative guide page only. Unlike the other 36 APIs in
  this profile it has no OAS-backed reference pages in the developer hub, so there is no published OpenAPI
  to harvest. The two operations are POST /creative/v1.0/upload/batch and GET /creative/v1.0/upload/status/{batch_id}.
