Introduction
Kakao Moment is the display advertising platform run by Kakao, the operator of KakaoTalk, Korea’s dominant messaging app. It serves banner, video, and native ads across KakaoTalk, Daum, and Kakao’s partner sites. The connector queries the Kakao Moment OpenAPI v4 for campaign, ad group, and creative performance, with eight segmentation breakdowns covering age, gender, device, region, hour of day, placement, and creative format. KakaoTalk channel message ads are handled by the separate Kakao Message data source, and Kakao’s search-keyword advertising is handled by Kakao Keyword Ads. As a marketing connector, metrics, breakdowns, and currencies are standardized so widgets can aggregate across sources without additional configuration. To connect this data source, see How to connect Kakao Moment to Adriel.Data refresh strategy
Architecture data
Architecture covers ad accounts, campaigns, ad groups, and creatives. It refreshes twice daily at 4:00 PM UTC and 5:00 AM UTC. On data source creation, the cache fills with 365 days of historical architecture data at the ad account, campaign, ad set, and ad levels.Reports data
Reports include daily performance metrics for ad accounts, campaigns, ad sets, and ads. Cache-only. Report data comes from cached daily performance snapshots. When a dashboard is opened, the response is composed by aggregating the most recent snapshots. Uniqueness caveat. Metrics based on uniqueness, such as reach, can be overvalued when viewed across a date range longer than one day. Refresh schedule. Reports refresh on three layered schedules:- 6:00 AM UTC and 8:00 AM UTC — sync the last 1 day for
campaign,adSet, andad - 5:00 PM, 12:00 AM, 2:00 AM, and 4:00 AM UTC — sync the last 24 days for

Architecture levels
Ad account → Campaign → Ad group (ad set) → Creative (ad)Date range limits
The connector enforces a maximum look-back window per date-breakdown granularity.
Report queries are fetched from the source in day-level chunks, and only day grouping is supported at the report level; weekly and monthly views are aggregated by Adriel from the daily data.
Attribution windows
Kakao Moment conversion metrics are reported across attribution windows. Pixel and SDK conversion events are imported in 1-day and 7-day variants where the platform provides them. For example, a purchase event is exposed as both a 1-day and a 7-day count (purchase_1D and purchase_7D), each producing a separate metric variant.
Metrics
How to read the columnsData type uses Adriel’s vocabulary — Number, Currency, Percentage, Ratio, Duration, Date, Text, URL, Array, Boolean. API Key in code style like
cost is the literal Kakao Moment API field; where the same raw field name is shared across objects (Kakao returns name for the ad account, ad, ad set, and campaign), it’s shown qualified as object.field (for example account.name) so each row stays unique; italic marks a value Adriel computes, parses, or derives. Some raw fields back several rows — for example cost backs both spend metrics and click backs both click metrics — so the same key can appear more than once; that’s the shared source field, not a duplicated entry.Currency values are reported in KRW. If the ad account currency differs from the workspace currency, spend is converted using the current day’s exchange rate.
Basic
Campaign Attributes
UTM values are parsed by Adriel, not returned by Kakao. Adriel reads the UTM query parameters from each ad’s landing URL and exposes them as both metrics (for rollup) and breakdowns (for grouping).
Campaign Structure
Computed Metric
These are calculated by Adriel from other metrics; they have no single underlying Kakao Moment field.
Conversion Performance
Conversion events tracked in the ad account are imported automatically and only appear on the dashboard when the underlying event is active. For each imported event, Adriel also derives ROAS, CPA, and conversion rate.
Creative Attributes
Impression Click Performance
Kakao Moment-specific
These metrics exist only for Kakao Moment and aren’t part of any cross-connector category. Every group above is a standard category shared with other connectors.
Breakdowns
Basic
Campaign Structure
Creatives
Adriel post-processes ad creatives to generate these breakdowns.
Date
Kakao returns daily records; all time-grouping breakdowns are Adriel-side aggregations of the same underlying daily data.
Others
Kakao Moment-specific
These breakdowns exist only for Kakao Moment and aren’t part of any cross-connector category. Every group above is a standard category shared with other connectors.
Audience and delivery breakdowns — Age, Age/Gender, Gender, Device Target, Location, and Placement — are available only at the ad-account level; splitting them by campaign, ad group, or creative is not supported by the Kakao Moment API.
Limitations
- 12-month data guarantee — access is guaranteed for the most recent 12 months. Older data relies on the legacy cache and may be incomplete or unavailable.
- No deleted-data retrieval — when an element is deleted in the ad account, its data can no longer be retrieved and is missing from reports.
- Ad-account-level segmentation only — age, gender, age + gender, device target, placement, hour of day, location, and creative-format breakdowns cannot be split by campaign, ad group, or creative.
- Uniqueness metrics — reach and other uniqueness-based metrics can be overvalued across date ranges longer than one day.
- Day grouping only — report data can only be grouped by day at the source; other granularities are aggregated by Adriel.
- Sponsored-brand ads unsupported — sponsored-brand ad types are not yet supported by the Kakao Moment API and are skipped.
