Audiences are always status: active immediately on creation. The underlying segments determine data readiness — only deliver an audience after all its include-role segments are active.
Composition options:
-
Use
segment_refs(preferred) to specify each segment and its role (includeorexclude) explicitly. -
Use
segment_ids/excluded_segment_ids(convenience shorthand) as a flat list when all included segments share the same include role. -
Use
set_logicto control how multiple include-role segments are combined:union(default) — a record matches ANY included segment (OR) — orintersection— a record must match EVERY included segment (AND). -
Excluded segments are always subtracted from the composed include result (AND NOT), regardless of
set_logic: result = (included segments combined by set_logic) MINUS (excluded segments).
To create matched, similarity, or propensity segments, use POST /v1/segments.
Requires ‘purchase’ scope.

Display name for the audience.
Preferred composition format. Each entry specifies a segment and its role. Supersedes segment_ids / excluded_segment_ids if provided.
object
Convenience shorthand: IDs of segments to include (role: include). Use segment_refs for mixed include/exclude compositions.
Convenience shorthand: IDs of segments to exclude from the composition.
How to combine the include-role segments. Exclusions always apply as AND NOT.
Org (default) — visible to all members of the org. private — visible only to the creating user.
Optional. If provided, the created audience is automatically linked to this campaign. The audience can belong to at most one campaign at a time. Omit if you are not using campaign workspaces.

object
Active = ready for delivery; archived = soft-deleted via PATCH status:archived (excluded from list by default); expired = past 90-day TTL. Note: pending/failed statuses belong on segments, not audiences.
ID of the most recent delivery quote for this audience.
Total cost in cents from the most recent delivery quote.
ID of the audience this was forked from (null if not a fork).
Snapshot version of the parent audience at the time of forking.
ID of the campaign this audience is linked to, if any.
Total resolved records across all composed segments.
Records contributed by matched-subtype segments in this audience’s composition. Present only when the composition includes at least one included matched segment; null for pure-filter or non-matched compositions.
Records resolved to a known identity, for an audience created via the direct file-upload flow (POST /v1/match/file). Populated when that upload’s matching pipeline completes; null before then or for audiences not created that way — use matched_record_count for a composition-level matched count instead.
Rows in the originally uploaded identity file, for an audience created via POST /v1/match/file. Same population conditions as match_count.
Match_count / input_record_count, rounded to 4 decimal places. Null unless both match_count and input_record_count are present.
ISO date — 90-day hard expiry from creation
Org (default) — visible to all members of the org. private — visible only to the creating user.
Composition of segments that define this audience. Each entry specifies a segment and its role (include or exclude) in the set operation.
object
ID of the referenced segment.
Whether the segment’s records are included in or excluded from the audience.
Cache of include-role segment IDs (denormalized from segment_refs for query efficiency).
Cache of exclude-role segment IDs (denormalized from segment_refs for query efficiency).
Expanded summaries of the include-role segments, in segment_ids order. Populated on both list and single-GET responses. Best-effort — missing or deleted segment docs are skipped, so this array may be shorter than segment_ids.
Lightweight summary of a constituent segment, expanded server-side from the audience’s composition. Returned on both list and single-GET audience responses. subtype is the segment’s own subtype — use the first entry of segments (the primary included segment) to derive subtype-specific presentation for the audience.
object
Segment document ID.
Segment display name.
Cached record count of the segment. Null if never counted.
Subtype of the constituent segment.
Matched subtype only. Count of records in the uploaded identity file. Null otherwise.
Matched subtype only. Count of records successfully matched. Null otherwise.
Expanded summaries of the exclude-role segments, in excluded_segment_ids order. Same expansion semantics as segments.
Lightweight summary of a constituent segment, expanded server-side from the audience’s composition. Returned on both list and single-GET audience responses. subtype is the segment’s own subtype — use the first entry of segments (the primary included segment) to derive subtype-specific presentation for the audience.
object
Segment document ID.
Segment display name.
Cached record count of the segment. Null if never counted.
Subtype of the constituent segment.
Matched subtype only. Count of records in the uploaded identity file. Null otherwise.
Matched subtype only. Count of records successfully matched. Null otherwise.
How the include-role segments are combined: union = a record matches ANY included segment (OR); intersection = a record must match EVERY included segment (AND). Segments in excluded_segment_ids are always subtracted from that result (AND NOT), regardless of set_logic.
