# Retry Campaign Launch

`POST /ad-campaigns/{campaign_id}/retry`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1/ad-campaigns/{campaign_id}/retry`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Re-attempt a launch that failed or stalled.

THIS SPENDS THE CUSTOMER'S ADVERTISING BUDGET when it succeeds - the
campaign goes live on the platform with the budget it was created with.
Like the launch, a refusal comes back as a 200 whose body `status` is
`error` - read it. Check `GET /ad-campaigns/{campaign_id}` first: a
campaign that is already live does not need this, and retrying one whose
creative was rejected will fail the same way until the creative changes.

## Path parameters

- `campaign_id` integer, required: The ad campaign's id.

## Headers

- `Authorization` string, nullable
- `X-Target-Org-Id` string, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- ApiResponseAdPayload
  - `data` AdPayload, required: One ad-platform object, or one handler response.
  - `pagination` PaginationMeta
    - `page` integer, required: Current page number (1-indexed)
    - `limit` integer, required: Items per page
    - `total` integer, required: Total number of items
    - `has_next` boolean, required: Whether there are more pages
    - `next_cursor` string, nullable: Opaque cursor for the next page; null when there are no more items. Pass it back as the `cursor` query param to fetch the following page without computing page numbers.
    - `total_available` integer, nullable: Search endpoints only: how many records really match, when known. Can be larger than `total`, which is capped at the 10,000 results that can be paged. For company search this is a distinct-company estimate. Null when unknown; absent outside search.
    - `total_is_lower_bound` boolean, nullable: Search endpoints only: true when more records match than `total` shows (the result set is larger than the 10,000 results that can be paged). Absent outside search.
    - `notes` string[], nullable: Search endpoints only: plain-language notes about the result, e.g. that more records match than can be paged, or that a reversed `between` range was put in order.
