Getting started with Display API

Get started building, testing, and launching Walmart Connect Display integrations.

Overview

The Walmart Connect Display API enables partners to programmatically manage the same core workflows available in Walmart Connect Ad Center.

Using the API, partners can:

  • Create and manage campaigns and ad groups
  • Build and activate audiences
  • Create, review, and submit creatives
  • Generate performance and operational reporting
  • Retrieve catalog, item, brand, and taxonomy information

Whether you're building a reporting integration, campaign management platform, creative workflow, or an end-to-end Display solution, this portal provides the resources needed to get started.

By the end of this section you'll be able to:
