I’ve created a Campaign with one Line Item in it. I then paused the Campaign. The API correctly shows that the campaign is paused:
u'created_at': u'2016-06-01T17:27:44Z',
u'currency': u'USD',
u'daily_budget_amount_local_micro': 1000000,
u'deleted': False,
u'duration_in_days': None,
u'end_time': u'2016-06-04T03:59:00Z',
u'frequency_cap': None,
u'funding_instrument_id': u'ipuyv',
u'id': u'542rm',
u'name': u'follower campaign 06/01 10:27am PT',
u'paused': True,
u'reasons_not_servable': [u'PAUSED_BY_ADVERTISER'],
u'servable': False,
u'standard_delivery': True,
u'start_time': u'2016-06-01T17:27:00Z',
u'total_budget_amount_local_micro': 3000000,
u'updated_at': u'2016-06-01T17:30:10Z'}],
but when I retrieve information about the Line Item in that campaign, it displays “paused: False”:
u'bid_unit': u'FOLLOW',
u'campaign_id': u'542rm',
u'categories': [],
u'charge_by': u'FOLLOW',
u'created_at': u'2016-06-01T17:27:44Z',
u'creative_source': u'MANUAL',
u'currency': u'USD',
u'deleted': False,
u'end_time': None,
u'id': u'5bnsf',
u'include_sentiment': u'POSITIVE_ONLY',
u'name': u'Untitled',
u'objective': u'FOLLOWERS',
u'optimization': u'DEFAULT',
u'paused': False,
shouldn’t the line item be listed as paused, since it “inherits” the state from its Campaign? Same goes for the Promoted Tweet in the Line Item - it is listed as not paused.
Or does the paused field only refer to whether or not the user explicitly paused the object? In which case, the promoted tweet in the line item will no longer be shown (since the campaign is paused), but both the Line Item and Promoted Tweet will have False values for paused in the API responses.
