Schema
Schemas and naming conventions can change from version to version. It is recommended to verify your version before continuing.
The schema and info displayed below is for version 1.
Depending on your destination, table and column names may not appear as they are outlined below.
campaign
The campaign table contains info about the campaigns in your Taboola account.
Replication
During every replication job, all campaigns in your Taboola account will be extracted, or “fully replicated.” If you look in the Extraction Logs in the Stitch app, you’ll see lines like this:
2017-10-25 13:46:52,254Z tap - INFO Synced 100 campaigns.
2017-10-25 13:46:52,255Z tap - INFO Done syncing campaigns.
Roughly the same amount of campaigns should be extracted during every job, unless brand new campaigns are added between jobs.
When Stitch loads the extracted records into your destination, however, only new and updated campaigns will be loaded. This means that only new and updated campaign records will count towards your row count.
Deleted campaigns
If a campaign is deleted at the source, the record for that campaign will remain in the destination.
NULL dates
On occasion, Taboola’s API will push NULL for start_date and 999-12-31 for end_date. It will convert NULL dates to 999-12-31 for consistency.
