Creating ads

PHP 5 using JSON with the cURL library

This example shows a request using the Ads.add method, along with the result processing and output. To use the example, change the input data to specify the OAuth token and the ID of the group to create the new ad in. For a request on behalf of an agency, also specify the client login.

<?php
//--- Input data ----------------------------------------------------//
// Address of the Ads service for sending JSON requests (case-sensitive)
$url = 'https://api.direct.yandex.com/json/v5/ads';
// OAuth token for the user that requests will be sent on behalf of
$token = 'TOKEN';
// Login of the advertising agency client
// Required parameter if requests are made on behalf of an advertising agency
$clientLogin = 'CLIENT_USERNAME';
// ID of the ad group to create the new ad in
$adGroupId = GROUP_ID;

//--- Preparing and executing the request -----------------------------------//
// Setting the request HTTP headers
$headers = array(
   "Authorization: Bearer $token",                    // OAuth token. The word Bearer must be used
   "Client-Login: $clientLogin",                      // Login of the advertising agency client
   "Accept-Language: ru",                             // Language for response messages
   "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8"    // Data type and request encoding
);

// Parameters for the request to the Yandex Direct API server
$params = array(
   'method' => 'add',                                 // Method to use
   'params' => array(
      'Ads' => array(
         array(
