Defines the base object of media.

Do not try to instantiate a Media. You can create the following object that derives from it.

Image

Syntax

<xs:complexType name="Media" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Id" nillable="true" type="xs:long" />
    <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="MediaType" nillable="true" type="xs:string" />
    <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Type" nillable="true" type="xs:string" />
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

Elements

The Media object has the following elements: Id, MediaType, Type.

Element	Description	Data Type
Id	The unique Microsoft Advertising identifier of the media. Add: Read-only	long
MediaType	The type of media to add to the media library. The recommended sub type is "GenericImage". For media that will be used with an ImageAdExtension, the supported values are GenericImage, Image16x9, Image15x10, Image4x3, and Image12x10. For media that will be used with a ResponsiveAd, the supported values are GenericImage, Image1x1, Image191x100, and Image4x1. For more information about supported aspect ratios, see the Image Data Object Remarks. Add: Required	string
Type	The media type. For more information about media types, see Remarks below. Add: Read-only	string

Remarks

For Java and the .NET languages, do not set the Type element because the value is determined when you instantiate an image.

If you generate the SOAP manually, use the type attribute of the <Media> node as shown in the following example, to specify that the media is an image.

<Media xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <Media i:type="Image">
    <Id i:nil="true" />
    <MediaType>Image15x10</MediaType>
    <Type>Image</Type>
    <Data>DataForImageAdExtensionGoesHere</Data>
  </Media>
  <Media i:type="Image">
    <Id i:nil="true" />
    <MediaType>Image191x100</MediaType>
    <Type>Image</Type>
    <Data>DataForResponsiveAdGoesHere</Data>
  </Media>
</Media>
