GET /api/v2/organization/advertisers Returns one advertiser roster across the Buyer Accounts authorized for the authenticated organization context, plus exact advertisers from accepted, unexpired organization grants. Use this endpoint when an organization needs a stable, account-spanning view; use List advertisers for the paginated Buyer Account list. The roster is a projection over existing advertiser records, durable lifecycle state, and authenticated relationships. It does not copy advertisers or campaigns, and matching names, domains, email domains, CRM records, signup paths, providers, or Partner status never merge records or grant access. Advertiser-scoped credentials cannot call this organization endpoint.

Response

The endpoint always emits owned relationships. operatingMode comes from explicit advertiser or admission state; it is never inferred from a name, domain, CRM record, signup path, provider, or operator. operatorRelationship is separate: an active confined seller-buyer sponsorship projects client, even if presentation changes to managed. The shared contract reserves delegated and counterparty relationships, and emits delegated entries only from an explicit authorized grant binding. Owned advertisers otherwise behave as before: a plain owned advertiser is managed by the organization, and an advertiser backed by the confined seller-buyer sponsorship is self_serve, with operatorRelationship: "client". An advertiser with an explicit self-service admission projects binding.provenance: "advertiser_admission", operatingMode: "self_serve", and operatorRelationship: "client", including while admission is pending. Its backing uses kind: "authorized_relationship" with the opaque admission reference and exact advertiser ID. It does not expose a Buyer Account to switch into. The seller’s Advertisers page shows this same state. For these entries, ready means admission is approved and claimed, and the membership and exact advertiser assignment are current. Pending admission is pending; suspension is suspended; rejected or revoked access is revoked. Inactive sellers, advertisers, or archived Storefronts cannot be ready. Missing, stale, expired, or mismatched grant evidence is incomplete. An agency’s grant for one advertiser cannot make another advertiser ready, including one created later. Admission-backed rows keep advertiser and Campaign management unavailable. For a directly authenticated organization administrator acting in the Seller Account, relationship management is available and the admission object returns the current state, claim state, revision, reviewed role and capabilities, and the lifecycle actions that are valid now. Other callers receive no available admission actions. These fields never establish billing readiness, select who pays, grant payment authority, add Organization membership, or authorize another or future advertiser. The response includes neither private conversations nor recipient and membership identity details.

Manage an exact advertiser admission

A directly authenticated organization administrator acting in the Seller Account can decide only the exact admission shown on the roster row. Use the Advertisers page while signed in with the administrator’s browser session. API keys and service tokens are rejected because they do not prove the current human administrator seat. The page submits the exact row’s current values:
Use only an action returned in admission.availableActions: approve for a claimed pending admission, suspend for an approved admission, reactivate for a suspended admission, and revoke for an approved, suspended, or rejected admission. The service rechecks the seller, advertiser, admission, current administrator seat, state, claim, grant, and revision. A stale revision, cross-advertiser reference, reused idempotency key with different input, or invalid transition fails without changing authority. Refetch the roster after a successful decision for the canonical relationship state. Approve and reactivate grant only the explicit role and capabilities already reviewed on the admission. This endpoint does not edit capabilities. Suspend and revoke immediately fence the exact grant and assignment; they do not erase advertiser, Campaign, audit, or billing history. Targeted invitation delivery and capability changes are separate flows. An accepted, unexpired organization advertiser grant adds only its exact advertiser IDs as relationshipClass: "delegated". The entry’s delegation object names the opaque grant reference, owner organization, reviewed capabilities, and expiry. Its backing object uses kind: "authorized_relationship" and never returns the owner’s account ID. Revoked and expired entries disappear from the roster. Delegated entries are part of the limited beta for organization advertiser grants. They appear only while the Organization has an active beta entitlement and server-side beta exposure enabled by Apostra. Each delegated roster read rechecks an accepted, unexpired grant for the exact advertiser and advertiser.read capability. Disabling beta exposure or removing the entitlement hides delegated entries without deleting grant history. Counterparty AdCP relationship reconciliation is dark prerequisite infrastructure. No customer or internal account is enrolled by this slice, and the public API does not make counterparty entries or repair available until later activation work separately enables both the fail-closed customer flag and runtime entitlement. Once that activation exists, only the complete authenticated tuple—BrandRef domain, optional brand ID, explicit country scope, operator domain, optional operator unit, fixed currency, and sandbox—can resolve one of those entries. The seller-local account_id and arrival path remain provenance only. Different operators, operator units, currencies, sandbox dispositions, or explicit operating modes stay distinct even when every other identity field is identical. Incomplete, conflicting, stale, or revoked counterparty evidence remains visible in unresolvedCounterpartyRelationships with operatorRelationship: "unresolved" and no advertiser or campaign management capability. Resolved entries always keep their existing non-null advertiserId contract. self_serve is stored only when an administrator explicitly chooses it; it is never inferred from the account’s arrival path or operator. Management capability is relative to the caller and backing account. It is available, account_switch_required, or unavailable. Readiness is ready, pending, suspended, revoked, disabled, or incomplete; incomplete and conflicting bindings remain visible but cannot be managed. Pending and suspended self-service entries backed by a legacy sponsorship are also read-only for advertiser and Campaign management until their sponsorship becomes active, while authorized administrators can still manage the relationship. Counterparty advertiser and Campaign management remains unavailable; a roster relationship never widens the buyer’s field-level grant. The legacy Storefront api_call wrapper may dispatch the read-only list_organization_advertisers operation as V2 persona plumbing. It is not the typed /mcp/v3 API, it does not expose repair, and while this capability is dark it cannot make counterparty entries appear without the same flag and entitlement gates.

Repair an incoming relationship

After the later activation package authorizes counterparty reconciliation, an entitled, directly authenticated Seller-admin can append an identity repair revision through direct REST with PUT /api/v2/organization/advertisers/{relationshipRef}/reconciliation. The repair operation is not exposed through MCP or the legacy Storefront api_call wrapper. The relationshipRef comes from unresolvedCounterpartyRelationships[].backing.relationshipRef.
Countries must be unique and sorted. Repair succeeds only when the current active grant, buyer operator identity, advertiser BrandRef, fixed currency, and sandbox disposition all match exactly. It appends a revision without changing advertiser-owned fields. The active runtime entitlement is locked and rechecked in the same transaction as the binding write, so a concurrent revocation serializes before or after repair instead of interleaving with it. Changed, revoked, ambiguous, or cross-tenant evidence returns an error and leaves the prior rows intact. The response contains at most 500 resolved entries and at most 500 unresolved counterparty relationships. If data.page.truncated is true, at least one authorized roster collection has more rows than this response can return.

Use in Apostra

Organization members can open the Advertisers page in Apostra to review the same authorized roster without switching between account-scoped advertiser lists. Self-serve clients’ campaigns open from their Advertisers tab row when the row permits Campaign management. Each row shows relationship class, operator relationship, managed/self-serve mode, binding and readiness state, safe provenance, grant state when present, lifecycle status, and the Campaigns action currently allowed for that relationship. system is true only when Apostra operates that advertiser through an active reviewer sandbox grant or active protected compliance-canary registration. A System advertiser is visible for context and its marker takes precedence over the other seller classes in the UI, which exposes no row mutation affordance. The roster capability fields state which API actions are currently available. The marker is provisioning provenance, not a display-name convention. Rows backed by delegated grants or counterparty relationships stay capability-limited. The page does not expose another organization’s accounts, members, billing, unrelated advertisers, future advertisers, or compatibility topology; lifecycle changes, grant state, and counterparty reconciliation still use the same APIs documented here and recheck authority at execution. Apostra page does not render or expose reusable signup links. Targeted invitation is deferred and is not part of this page. Creating advertisers or sending invitations is outside this documented surface until that separate flow ships. Lifecycle state is invited, provisioning, ready, failed, or revoked. A failed self-service lifecycle includes a stable recovery code for support and operator diagnostics, but this page does not document a customer retry flow. Each lifecycle carries a managementCapability field (available or unavailable) that reflects whether the authenticated organization context can act on that specific lifecycle. It is available when the caller is a human administrator with either an active organization-advertiser-lifecycle entitlement or an active, unexpired beta feature profile that includes that capability. Use this field - rather than the linked roster entry’s relationshipManagement - to gate revocation actions, including historical unclaimed self-serve lifecycles whose advertiserId is null (such lifecycles remain administratively revocable even after their join link is retired).

Change presentation

PATCH /api/v2/organization/advertisers/{advertiserId}/operating-mode changes only the explicit operatingMode. It never reparents a backing Buyer Account, creates a sponsorship, or grants cross-organization access. A self_serve advertiser without an explicit admission or valid legacy sponsorship remains incomplete and unavailable. Admission-backed entries do not support this compatibility presentation action.

Revoke self-serve access

POST /api/v2/organization/advertisers/lifecycles/{lifecycleId}/revoke terminally revokes the invitation and suspends the confined sponsorship. The advertiser, Campaigns, and billing history remain stored.

Errors

  • 401 UNAUTHORIZED — authentication is missing or invalid.
  • 403 ACCESS_DENIED — an advertiser-scoped credential requested the roster, the authenticated Buyer Account could not be resolved, a mode or revoke mutation lacks administrator authority, a mode or revoke mutation lacks an active organization-advertiser-lifecycle entitlement or beta profile (the relationshipManagement capability is unavailable or has expired), or a repair caller lacks Media Company type, dark-gate access, entitlement, direct-human Seller-admin authority, or exact-resource authority.
  • 409 CONFLICT — lifecycle capacity is exhausted, lifecycle access is already revoked, or repair evidence is incomplete, stale, revoked, ambiguous, or does not match the complete tuple.
