Following the Video Views Preroll implementation documentation:

    }
}

Media creative for the line_item created not via twurl, but checking existence:

twurl -H ads-api.twitter.com "/0/accounts/4no6av/media_creatives/k0rm" | jsonpretty
{
    "data": {
        "account_media_id": "r3t",
        "approval_status": "ACCEPTED",
        "created_at": "2016-03-17T19:06:06Z",
        "deleted": false,
        "id": "k0rm",
        "landing_url": "",
        "line_item_id": "4o4rr",
        "serving_status": "ACTIVE",
        "updated_at": "2016-03-17T19:06:06Z"
    },
    "data_type": "media_creative",
    "request": {
        "params": {
            "account_id": "4no6av",
            "media_creative_id": "k0rm"
        }
    }
}

Then associate preroll_call_to_action:

twurl -X POST -H ads-api.twitter.com "/0/accounts/4no6av/preroll_call_to_action?line_item_id=4o4rr&call_to_action=VISIT_SITE&call_to_action_url=https://4cinsights.com" | jsonpretty
{
    "errors": [
        {
            "code": "ROUTE_NOT_FOUND",
            "message": "The requested resource could not be found"
        }
    ],
    "request": {
        "params": {}
    }
}

Let us know if anything above seems wrong and/or how to proceed.

Thanks for reporting this.

This is a mistake in the documentation, and it has since been updated. The call should be to POST accounts/:account_id/preroll_call_to_actions, with actions pluralized. The request should work in that case.

@hwz, this is still an issue while attempting to access the new endpoint. See the below topic:

Issues with Pre-roll CTA Endpoint - INTERNAL_ERROR

Dear Twitter Staff, In regards to the Pre-roll CTA Endpoint, it looks like it has now been updated to show the correct endpoint: POST accounts/:account_id/preroll_call_to_actions But when we tried to hit this endpoint, we received an INTERNAL_ERROR error code. Please see the following TWURL and advise: twurl -t -H "https://ads-api-sandbox.twitter.com/" "/0/accounts/gq0w3i/preroll_call_to_actions" -d "line_item_id=cmab" -d "call_to_action=VISIT_SITE" -d "call_to_action_url=http://twitter.com/"…
