Image (AdImage)

The Image (AdImage) object contains an image. The AdImageHash parameter is used as the image identifier.

An ad can only have one image (or none at all). You can assign the same image to multiple ads. For more information, see Images in ads in the Help for Yandex Direct.

Service

Use the AdImages service for uploading images as binary data, as well as for deleting images. To upload images asynchronously from a list of URLs, use the Upload operation of the AdImage (Live) method in API Live 4.

Images can't be edited. If you need to change an image, you must upload a new image and assign it to the ad.

To assign an image to an ad or unassign one from an ad, use the Ads service (see Ad extensions).

An image undergoes review only when it is assigned to an ad (see Result of reviewing add-ons).

You can delete an image only if it is not assigned to any ads. To get a list of ads that a particular image is assigned to, use the Ads service.

Restrictions

The maximum number of images per advertiser is 1000 + 2 × the number of ads.

To check how many images a client can upload and how many have already been uploaded or are being uploaded, use the GetLimits action for the AdImage (Live) method in the Live 4 version of the API.
