object[]
Possible values: non-empty and <= 250 characters
Campaign name. Use it to identify the campaign later. It must be unique within your employer account.
Campaign ID. Automatically generated when the campaign is created.
Possible values: [ACTIVE, DELETED, PAUSED]
Default value: ACTIVE
Campaign status. PAUSED keeps the campaign inactive until you enable it, or temporarily stops sponsorship.

Identifier for the problem. Value is:
Human-readable description of the problem.
Possible values: [SOURCE, HOSTED]
Type of job sponsored by the campaign. Either SOURCE (jobs gathered from the web, or sent to Indeed using an XML feed) or HOSTED (jobs posted using the Post a Job page).
ISO 4217 currency code of the currency for the campaign's budget.
Possible values: <= 255 characters
Click-tracking token appended to the job URL on sponsored clicks. Allows you to identify that the click is from Indeed, and identify the campaign that sponsored the click.
One-time budget limit for the campaign. You cannot set budgetOnetimeLimit and budgetMonthlyLimit at the same time.
Monthly budget limit for the campaign. You cannot set dailyAvgBudgetPerJob, budgetOnetimeLimit, and budgetMonthlyLimit at the same time.
Date when the campaign starts sponsoring jobs, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format. Default is current date.
The campaign starts sponsoring jobs at the start of the specified day in US Central Time (CT, US/Central). The start date is on or after the current date in CT. For example, if the startDate is 2026-01-15, the campaign starts sponsoring on January 15, 2026 at 0:00 AM CT. If the start date is not provided or is the current date, the campaign starts sponsoring immediately.
Once the campaign is active and spending, you cannot update its startDate. If you wish to temporarily pause a campaign, set its status to PAUSED.
Date before when the campaign must stop sponsoring jobs, even if it has remaining unspent budget. Follows the ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format.
A campaign with a one-time budget (budgetOnetimeLimit) always have either a fixedEndDate or a targetEndDate, but not both.
A campaign with a monthly recurring budget (budgetMonthlyLimit) may optionally have a fixedEndDate. Monthly recurring campaigns default to sponsoring jobs until you manually pause or delete the campaign. These are called "evergreen" campaigns. To stop the campaign at the start of a specified day, specify fixedEndDate.
The campaign stops sponsoring jobs at the start of the specified day in US Central Time (CT, US/Central). The fixedEndDate is atleast one day after the current date in CT, or the startDate of the campaign, if the campaign has one. For example, if the fixed end date is 2026-06-20, the campaign stops on June 20, 2021 at 0:00 AM CT.
Date before when the campaign should stop sponsoring jobs, though it can continue sponsoring past the specified date if it has not spent its budget yet. Follows the ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format.
A campaign with a one-time budget (budgetOnetimeLimit) always have either a fixedEndDate or a targetEndDate, but not both. A campaign with a monthly recurring budget (budgetMonthlyLimit) cannot have a targetEndDate, only a fixedEndDate or no end date.
The campaign targets the start of the specified day in US Central Time (CT, US/Central). The target end date is at least one day after the current date in CT, or the startDate of the campaign, if the campaign has one. For example, if the target end date is 2026-06-20, the campaign targets June 20, 2021 at 0:00 AM CT.
Funding source for the campaign:
Possible values: [Bonus Sponsored Job Credits, Budget].
Possible values: [PREMIUM, STANDARD, ``]
Sponsorship tier for average daily budget (ADB) campaigns. Returned only if requested with the fields parameter.
For campaigns funded by annual deals bonus credits, this field returns STANDARD for standard campaigns, PREMIUM for premium campaigns, or an empty string otherwise.
Effective average daily budget (ADB) per job for the campaign. Returned only for campaigns that use the ADB model. You cannot set dailyAvgBudgetPerJob and budgetMonthlyLimit at the same time.
