An account is what you operate as. Every request runs in one account’s context, and each account is either a Buyer or a Seller account. Your role in the account decides what you can change: Admin-only operations need ADMIN (or Owner) on the target account. An organization sits above its accounts. Organization admins manage every account under it, which is how an agency runs several buyer accounts or a media company runs a buyer and a seller account side by side.

Read and switch accounts

On v3, a credential switches only to accounts it may reach; see Account access.

Add an account

Admins add accounts from Add account in the account selector, or with POST /api/v2/accounts/create-child: A standalone account (one not yet under an organization) becomes the first account of a new organization when you add a second account. That needs explicit confirmation: without confirmOrganizationConversion: true the call returns 409 (“This account is not part of an organization. Confirm creating an organization to manage these accounts.”). parentName names the new organization; it defaults to your company name. Advertisers and connected platform accounts are not accounts, so they never count against anything here.

Delete an account

DELETE /api/v2/accounts/{customerId} (admins) deletes an account under an organization. It refuses an organization or a standalone account (“Only child accounts can be deleted.”), the account you’re currently in (“Switch to another account before deleting this one.”), and any account that still has advertisers, campaigns, media buys, creatives, inventory sources or products. The 409 lists them in details.linkedResources.

Registered domain

Each account has one registered domain, set by an admin in Settings or with PATCH /api/v2/accounts/{customerId}/domain (customerDomain, like example.com).
  • A domain matching your own verified email domain is verified on save.
  • Any other domain stays pending until Semicola staff approve it. Ask for that review with POST /api/v2/buyer/readiness/operator/verify-request (domain, requesterEmail, optional message); there’s one open request per account and domain.
Reads return customerDomain and customerDomainApproved.

Domain auto-join

GET and PATCH /api/v2/accounts/{customerId}/membership read and set allowDomainAutoJoin. When it’s on, a new user whose verified work email matches the account’s domain joins without waiting for approval. Turning it on needs a registered domain (“A registered company domain is required to enable auto-join.”). People only join through a verified domain; a pending one lets no one in. Members, invitations and access requests have their own routes (/api/v2/members, /api/v2/invitations, /api/v2/access-requests). Notification opt-ins are per person; see Notifications.

Seller accounts

A Seller account’s registered domain is the company operating the storefront. The storefront also has its own operator domain (the brand domain buyers see), which can differ; set it with set_storefront_operator_domain. A different domain needs published evidence linking the two. See Domains.

Buyer readiness

get_status answers “can this account buy yet?” for a Buyer account. Today the one blocker is Create your first advertiser (no_advertiser); buying tools return 409 BUYER_SETUP_REQUIRED (“Create an advertiser before planning campaigns.”) until one exists. operatorIdentity.usableForBuying and canBuyAnywhere follow the same check, and operatorIdentity.canManage is true for admins. operatorIdentity also reports: For each seller, readiness is per connection; see Connections and Campaign readiness.

Not available yet

  • Package-based account capacity. Any admin can add accounts; there are no plan account slots and no upgrade prompt.
  • Operator scope and operating units. Buyer accounts carry an operator domain only. There’s no whole-operator versus specific-unit choice, no operator_unit.id, no save_buyer_operator tool and no way to confirm an operator scope, so scopeStatus stays unclassified.
  • Market readiness (POST /api/v2/market-readiness, pilot state by country and channel).
  • Organization settings in place. To manage an organization’s members, switch to the organization; a child account’s Members shows that account’s members only.
  • Refer a company. There’s no referral page or referral reward. Promo and referral codes at signup only add setup Intelligence Units.
