# Delegation

Links an ad account to an external advertiser resource, such as a content provider or brand.

```
object Delegation
```

## Discussion

The `Delegation` object links an ad account to an external advertiser resource: a `CONTENT_PROVIDER` (App Store) or a `BUSINESS_BRAND` (Apple Maps).

The `Delegation` objects appear in `AdAccount.delegations`, and [`Get Advertiser Resources`](/documentation/Apple-Ads-Platform-API/Get-advertiser-resources) returns them.

### Example

```json
{
  "resourceId": "555666777",
  "resourceType": "CONTENT_PROVIDER",
  "resourceName": "AwayFinder"
}
```

## Topics

### Type Aliases

[`string Delegation.ResourceType`](/documentation/Apple-Ads-Platform-API/Delegation/ResourceType-data.typealias)

The type of the linked resource: `CONTENT_PROVIDER` or `BUSINESS_BRAND`.
