Web admins can create campaigns and assets in the Bloomreach Dashboard. If a campaign applies to your API request, then the response includes a campaign object.

The campaign object contains information to display an asset to your customers. The object includes a bannerType attribute, which indicates how banners are handled. Possible values for bannerType are:

bannerType value	How is the banner handled?
image_url	You host the image file on your server. Bloomreach returns the link to the image source URL. Bloomreach includes the image URL in the HTML that displays the banner with the appropriate click regions.
banner_url	You host the HTML banner on your server. Bloomreach returns the URL to that HTML banner. You fetch that HTML and insert it into the results.
HTML	You host the HTML banner on your server. Bloomreach returns the URL to that HTML banner. You fetch that HTML and insert it into the results.
