# LinkedIn Marketing API Publisher lists require a surface field

Markdown version of <https://harbyn.com/changes/linkedin/2026-10-14-publisher-lists-require-a-surface-field>.

Breaking change - LinkedIn Marketing API. high severity. Announced. Upcoming.

Starting with version 202611, requests to create publisher lists without a valid surface (LAN or CTV) will fail with a 400 error. After December 15, 2026, campaigns and account trust preferences can only use publisher lists whose placement type matches the campaign; requests that do not meet this rule will fail with a 400 error on every API version. Lists already attached to campaigns will keep working.

51 days left: the deadline is Dec 15, 2026.
