Integration Parameters for Yahoo! JAPAN Ads V2

The Export Results page accepts the following parameters:

ParameterDescription

account_id (required)Account ID
audience_list_name (required)Audience list name. If the name does not exist, a new audience list will be created with this name.
upload_type (required)Upload type:
  • MAIL_ADDRESS: email or hashed email (SHA256). If your hash contains any uppercase letters, convert them to lowercase.
  • MAIL_ADDRESS_AND_PHONE_NUMBER: Upload email, phone number, or both with the corresponding column names email and phone. The email and phone number can be raw or hashed (SHA-256).
  • IDFA
  • AAID

(Optional) Schedule Query Export Jobs

You can use Scheduled Jobs with Result Export to periodically write the output result to a target destination that you specify.

Treasure Data's scheduler feature supports periodic query execution to achieve high availability.

When two specifications provide conflicting schedule specifications, the specification requesting to execute more often is followed while the other schedule specification is ignored.

For example, if the cron schedule is '0 0 1 * 1', then the 'day of month' specification and 'day of week' are discordant because the former specification requires it to run every first day of each month at midnight (00:00), while the latter specification requires it to run every Monday at midnight (00:00). The latter specification is followed.

Scheduling your Job Using TD Console

  1. Navigate to Data Workbench > Queries

  2. Create a new query or select an existing query.

  3. Next to Schedule, select None.

  4. In the drop-down, select one of the following schedule options:
