  • Campaign Group was renamed to Campaign

  • Campaign was renamed to Ad set

  • Creative was renamed to Ads

However, this is not reflected in the API so the data received via the API still has the old mappings.

This is the response received from LinkedIn:

"At this time, there are no plans to change schema/nomenclature for API based on UI changes.
 
We will update the doc in Recent Changes if any changes happen in the future, and update partners via Newsletter: Recent Marketing API Changes - LinkedIn"
