Add Product Tags

Create an ads experience that mimics browsing a printed, lifestyle catalog featuring desired products to promote. You can tag featured products in the image and a tag appears on the image.

This API is available on a limited basis to partners and advertisers that are on the allow list. Contact your Facebook representative if you want to use this API.

When someone taps the tag, a thumbnail for that product appears in a rotating group of thumbnails, including all tagged products. Someone can tap the thumbnail to be taken to the product's product detail page. This uses the photo with product tags element API. For example:

curl -F 'canvas_photo={ "bottom_padding": 20, "name": "Instant Experience Photo Name", "open_url_action": {"url":"URL"}, "photo_id": "PHOTO_ID", "style": "FIT_TO_WIDTH", "top_padding": 20, "product_tags": "[{product_id: PRODUCT_ID, coordinates: [0.65, 0.58]}, {product_id: PRODUCT_ID}]" }' }' -F 'access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN' https://graph.facebook.com/VERSION/PAGE_ID/canvas_elements
