Operating Companies
What are operating companies?
The WPP organization consists of many operating companies. Each user in the platform generally belongs to an operating company. Each operating company may belong to another operating company as a hierarchy.
In some cases an operating company may also have a brand, in which case it will have a brand relationship.
List all operating companies
To list all of the operating companies and browse them via the API, use the list endpoint:
GET /api/v2/operating-companies
Get a operating company
You may also directly retrieve a operating company's details if you already have its system ID.
GET /api/v2/operating-companies/123
Where 123 is the system ID of the operating company.
