IMPROVED Advertiser ID
All new advertisers get from now on only one ID in the system. Until now there was an internal ID (format i12345, known e.g. as part of all tracking links from Creatives) and the external ID (format MID 9876). The internal advertiser ID will be identical with the MID (external advertiser ID) from now on. All existing internal IDs (i12345) are still valid and will not be exchanged.

Please note: the new ID must not be modified manually (e.g. with the addition of "i" in front of the ID)

IMPROVED Error behaviour

In case you are requesting a column that doesn’t exist in the feed, we are now returning an error message. Previously, you would receive the feed with the column added, and the values set to N/A. This led to many Partners not realizing that their feed no longer contained the data they were originally requesting.

You now need to handle the error yourself as a reaction to Advertisers changing the columns in their feeds.
