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
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: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 withPUT /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.
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.
