Spend Forecasting API

The spend forecaster is a tool to turn a high level budget (or no budget at all!) into a daily, granular budget that follows patterns observed in your historical data.

To run a spend forecast, you supply:

  1. depvar_configurations - deployment_ids are the only thing that matter, other fields are optional and ignored.

  2. start_date

  3. end_date

  4. total_spend OR constraints - total_spend allows you to specify the total spend amount (Recast will spread it across channels based on historical patterns) or you can specify constraints more granularly in a constraint matrix.

  5. use_latest_deployments - whether to swap out the depvar_configurations deployments with the latest from the same dashboard or not
