Get Started with Advantage+ Catalog Ads

Advantage+ catalog ads enables you to create personalized ads that target to the right audiences based on a set of products.

Advertisers running ads concerning housing, employment, credit or issues, elections, and politics have different sets of restrictions. See Special Ad Categories for more information.

Before You Start

To create an Advantage+ catalog ads campaign, you need:

  • A Facebook Page representing the advertiser, and optionally, an Instagram Account if running this campaign on Instagram.
  • An ad account with registered payment information.
  • A catalog, such as a product catalog available in your Business Manager account.

Optionally, you can set up a dynamic product audience, but you are not required to involve product set inclusions or exclusions in your targeting settings.

Step 1: Create an Ad Campaign

See the Ad Campaign documentation to learn how to create an ad campagn.

At this level, you must set your advertising goal through the objective field. For Advantage+ catalog ads, supported objectives are PRODUCT_CATALOG_SALES, CONVERSIONS, LINK_CLICKS, or APP_INSTALLS. If the objective you provide is CONVERSIONS, LINK_CLICKS, or APP_INSTALLS, then the promoted_object field is not required.

curl \
  -F 'name=Product Catalog Sales Campaign' \
  -F 'objective=PRODUCT_CATALOG_SALES' \
  -F 'promoted_object={"product_catalog_id":"<PRODUCT_CATALOG_ID>"}' \
  -F 'status=PAUSED' \
  -F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \

Step 2: Create an Ad Set

For Advantage+ catalog ads, you must specify the product_set_id in promoted_object for your ad set level to promote products from that product set.

In addition, you can also define your own conversion event for that product set by specifying custom_event_type in promoted_object when the optimization_goal is OFFSITE_CONVERSIONS. This targets your ads to people who performed that event in your app or site.

For example, if you set this to ADD_TO_CART, it means an Add to Cart event is the conversion event. By default custom_event_type is set to PURCHASE. Learn more about standard events and values for custom_event_type at Meta Pixel Conversion Tracking.

If you want to optimize for offsite conversions, including conversions from both app events and Facebook Pixel, and to be billed on impressions:

  • Set the optimization_goal to OFFSITE_CONVERSIONS
  • Set the billing_event to IMPRESSIONS

More details on valid optimization_goal and billing_event combinations can be found in Optimization Goal and Billing Events.

Example of creating an ad set that is billed on IMPRESSIONS and optimizes for OFFSITE_CONVERSIONS:

curl \
  -F 'name=Product Catalog Sales Adset' \
  -F 'bid_amount=3000' \
  -F 'billing_event=IMPRESSIONS' \
  -F 'optimization_goal=OFFSITE_CONVERSIONS' \
  -F 'daily_budget=15000' \
  -F 'campaign_id=<CAMPAIGN_ID>' \
  -F 'targeting={ "geo_locations": {"countries":["US"]}, 
    "dynamic_audience_ids": ["<DYNAMIC_AUDIENCE_ID>"] 
  }' \
  -F 'promoted_object={"product_set_id":"<PRODUCT_SET_ID>"}' \
  -F 'status=PAUSED' \
  -F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
https://graph.facebook.com/v21.0/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/adsets

The DYNAMIC_AUDIENCE_ID refers to a product audience. Optionally, you can omit dynamic_audience_ids from the call.

For e-commerce use cases, you can omit dynamic_audience_ids from the call and instead send the behavioral targeting information as part of product_audience_specs or excluded_product_audience_specs parameters. These specs are defined by the same parameters you use to create a product audience.

Retargeting

In this example, we target people that viewed products in the last 3-5 days, but did not make a purchase. The ads placements are on mobile feed and Audience Network. To create this audience:

curl \
  -F 'name=Product Catalog Sales Adset' \
  -F 'bid_amount=3000' \
  -F 'billing_event=LINK_CLICKS' \
  -F 'optimization_goal=LINK_CLICKS' \
  -F 'daily_budget=15000' \
  -F 'campaign_id=<CAMPAIGN_ID>' \
  -F 'targeting={ 
    "publisher_platforms": ["facebook","audience_network"], 
    "device_platforms": ["mobile"], 
    "geo_locations": {"countries":["US"]}, 
    "product_audience_specs": [ 
      { 
        "product_set_id": "<PRODUCT_SET_ID>", 
        "inclusions": [{"retention_seconds":432000,"rule":{"event":{"eq":"ViewContent"}}}], 
        "exclusions": [{"retention_seconds":432000,"rule":{"event":{"eq":"Purchase"}}}] 
      } 
    ], 
    "excluded_product_audience_specs": [ 
      { 
        "product_set_id": "<PRODUCT_SET_ID>", 
        "inclusions": [{"retention_seconds":259200,"rule":{"event":{"eq":"ViewContent"}}}] 
      } 
    ] 
  }' \
  -F 'promoted_object={"product_set_id":<PRODUCT_SET_ID>"}' \
  -F 'status=PAUSED' \
  -F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
https://graph.facebook.com/v21.0/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/adsets

Cross-Sell or Upsell

Example for advertising products that the user has not looked at:

curl \
-F 'name=Case 1 Adset' \
-F 'bid_amount=3000' \
-F 'billing_event=IMPRESSIONS' \
-F 'status=ACTIVE' \
-F 'daily_budget=15000' \
-F 'campaign_id=<CAMPAIGN_ID>' \
-F 'targeting= { \
            "geo_locations": { \
            "countries":["US"], \
             }, \
            "interests":[ \
                {"id":6003397425735,"name":"Tennis"}, \
            ], \
        }' \
-F 'promoted_object={"product_set_id”:<PRODUCT_SET_ID>}' \
-F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>’ \
https://graph.facebook.com/<API_VERSION>/act_<ACCOUNT_ID>/adsets

To cross-sell between product sets:

  • Provide the product audience with event rules related to product set A.
  • Show products from product set B in the ad by setting the product_set_id to product set B at the ad creative level.

For example, a business wants to increase the sale of handbags in PRODUCT_SET_1 by targeting an ad to existing users who have shown interest in shoes that belong in PRODUCT_SET_2. Set the product_set_id in product_audience_specs to PRODUCT_SET_2's ID or shoes and the product_set_id in promoted_object to PRODUCT_SET_1's ID or handbags.

curl \
  -F 'name=My cross sell ad set' \
  -F 'bid_amount=3000' \
  -F 'billing_event=LINK_CLICKS' \
  -F 'optimization_goal=LINK_CLICKS' \
  -F 'daily_budget=15000' \
  -F 'campaign_id=<CAMPAIGN_ID>' \
  -F 'targeting={ 
    "geo_locations": {"countries":["US"]}, 
    "product_audience_specs": [ 
      { 
        "product_set_id": "<PRODUCT_SET_2_ID>", 
        "inclusions": [{"retention_seconds":432000,"rule":{"event":{"eq":"ViewContent"}}}], 
        "exclusions": [{"retention_seconds":432000,"rule":{"event":{"eq":"Purchase"}}}] 
      } 
    ], 
    "excluded_product_audience_specs": [ 
      { 
        "product_set_id": "<PRODUCT_SET_2_ID>", 
        "inclusions": [{"retention_seconds":259200,"rule":{"event":{"eq":"ViewContent"}}}] 
      } 
    ] 
  }' \
  -F 'promoted_object={"product_set_id":"<PRODUCT_SET_1_ID>"}' \
  -F 'status=PAUSED' \
  -F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
  https://graph.facebook.com/v21.0/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/adsets  

And set product_set_id in the creative as PRODUCT_SET_1's ID.

  curl \
  -F 'name=Advantage+ Catalog Ads Template Creative Sample' \
  -F 'object_story_spec={ 
    "page_id": "<PAGE_ID>", 
    "template_data": { 
      "description": "Description {{product.description}}", 
      "link": "<LINK>", 
      "message": "Test {{product.name | titleize}}", 
      "name": "Headline {{product.price}}" 
    } 
  }' \
  -F 'product_set_id=<PRODUCT_SET_ID>' \
  -F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
  https://graph.facebook.com/v21.0/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/adcreatives

Broad Audience Targeting

In addition to retargeting and cross-selling to existing customers, Advantage+ catalog ads may be used to target broad audiences, utilizing age, gender and other demographic targeting, with relevant products from your product catalog. By utilizing broadly targeted audiences combined with bidding for offsite conversions, Advantage+ catalog ads enable you to greatly expand the reach of your ads efficiently.

To target broad audiences:

  • Create an audience using basic demographic targeting such as women in the US over 18.
  • Include customOptimize for OFFSITE_CONVERSIONS with stronger intent signals such as Purchase or InitiateCheckout.

In this example, we create an adset targeted at women age 30-65 in the US, excluding customers who have purchased in the past 10 days. We will bid $8, using OFFSITE_CONVERSIONS for PURCHASE events.

curl \
  -F 'name=Broad Audience Targeting' \
  -F 'bid_amount=800' \
  -F 'billing_event=IMPRESSIONS' \
  -F 'daily_budget=15000' \
  -F 'campaign_id=<CAMPAIGN_ID>' \
  -F 'targeting={ 
    "age_max": 65, 
    "age_min": 30, 
    "geo_locations": {"countries":["US"]}, 
    "genders": [2], 
    "excluded_product_audience_specs": [ 
      { 
        "product_set_id": "<PRODUCT_SET_ID>", 
        "inclusions": [{"retention_seconds":864000,"rule":{"event":{"eq":"Purchase"}}}] 
      } 
    ] 
  }' \
  -F 'promoted_object={"product_set_id":"<PRODUCT_SET_ID>","custom_event_type":"PURCHASE"}' \
  -F 'optimization_goal=OFFSITE_CONVERSIONS' \

Categories for Advantage+ Catalog Ads

Advertisers running ads concerning housing, employment, credit or issues, elections, and politics have different sets of restrictions. See Special Ad Categories for more information.

Categories for Advantage+ catalog ads introduces two new creative options for the Advantage+ catalog ads platform, both of which can be used to personalize creative for shoppers who are earlier in their decision journey. With this feature, you can create what is effectively a second, smaller creative catalog of images that represent each category (in addition to the catalog you already have of product imagery), and we will match product categories to people in your ads the same way we match products to people.

Categories for Advantage+ catalog ads can be used with any targeting option in the traffic, conversion, or catalog sales objective. If you don't have a high-quality image representative of each category or brand, Facebook can auto-generate a 2x2 collage of top products for each group of products.

When mapping this new imagery to existing product catalogs, you can use one of three columns in your feed to group items: brand, product type, and Google product category.

In the example catalog below, the Product Type column has five unique values. The advertiser can provide up to five collages or lifestyle images — one for each unique value in product_type. The product type is the category's categorization criteria, which is the catalog field name used to define the categories. The catalog field's value is the category's criteria value.

A category can be uniquely identified by:

  • Product catalog ID
  • Categorization criteria (brand, product type, or Google product product category)
  • Criteria value (pulled from the catalog)

Category E

You can associate each category (for example, each group of products as defined by unique values in one of the columns specified above) with assets:

  • Name — A user-facing short name of the category (up to 40 characters).
  • Description — A user-facing description of the category (up to 20 characters).
  • destination_uri — The URL of the landing page when a user clicks the category.
  • image_urlOptional. The URL of a life style image representing the category. If no image_url is provided, we will autogenerate a collage of top products from that category.

During ads delivery time, we dynamically match each Accounts Center account with the categories they are most likely to respond to based using the same machine learning models that power Advantage+ catalog ads today.

Categories Management API

Categories information is stored at the catalog level, meaning that different ads promoting the categories from the same catalog would share assets, the same as ads promoting products would share assets defined in catalogs. We do support different creative options to customize category ads.

Below are the APIs to get and update categories information.

Reading

Request

  curl -G \
    -d 'fields=["criteria_value","name","description","destination_uri","image_url"]' \
    -d 'categorization_criteria=product_type' \
    -d 'filter={"price_amount":{"gt":1500}}' \ # optional
    -d 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
    https://graph.facebook.com/v21.0/<PRODUCT_CATALOG_ID>/categories

We query for all products (the optional filter is supported) and find the top 1,000 categories (ordered by number of products).

Sample response

{
  "data": [
    {
      "criteria_value": "clothes",
      "name": "Awesome clothes",
      "description": "Check out these awesome clothes!",
      "destination_uri": "http://www.example.com/clothes",
      "image_url": "http://www.example.com/clothes.jpg"
    },
    ...
    {
      "criteria_value": "shoes",
      "name": "Awesome shoes",
      "description": "Check out these awesome shoes!",
      "destination_uri": "http://www.example.com/shoes",
      "image_url": "http://www.example.com/shoes.jpg"
    }
  ]
}

Updating

You can specify multiple categories information in data. For each category, categorization_criteria and criteria_value are required, while the name, description, destination_uri, and image_url fields are optional. When updating the information of a category for the first time, you must specify the destination_uri. If you want to skip delivery of a category, simply set its destination_uri to be empty.

Note: Deleting a category is not supported at this time.

Request

curl \
  -F 'data=[{"categorization_criteria":"product_type","criteria_value":"product_type_value","name":"Name","description":"Description","destination_uri":"http://www.example.com/","image_url":"<IMAGE_URL>"}]' \
  -F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
  https://graph.facebook.com/v21.0/<lPRODUCT_CATALOG_ID>/categories

Ads Creation

Categories for Advantage+ catalog ads ad creation is similar to ad creation for other Advantage+ catalog ads, but the creative selection is slightly different. You are still promoting a product set with dynamic category ads; the difference is that we're showing category creatives instead.

curl \
  -F "name=Dynamic Category Ad Creative" \
  -F 'object_story_spec={"page_id": "<PAGE_ID>", "template_data": {"description": "{{category.description}}", "link": "https://www.example.com/", "message": "<MESSAGE>", "name": "{{category.name}}"}}' \
  -F 'product_set_id=<PRODUCT_SET_ID>' \
  -F 'categorization_criteria=brand' \
  -F 'category_media_source=MIXED' \ # optional
  -F access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN> \
  https://graph.facebook.com/v21.0/act_<ACCOUNT_ID>/adcreatives

This creates a category ad creative rendered in a carousel format:

Category Tokens

Supported category tokens:

  • category.name — The category name within the promoted product set.
  • category.description — The category description within the promoted product set.
  • category.destination_uri — The category destination URI.
  • category.min_price — The minimum price for this category within the promoted product set. This information is pulled from the catalog.

Parameters

NameDescription

categorization_criteria

Specifies which category type to use.
Values:

  • brand
  • product_type
  • google_product_category

category_media_source

Specifies how to render the category carousel card.
Values:

  • mixed (default)
    Uses the category's image if exists; otherwise, falls back to products_collage.
  • category
    Uses the category's image. Skip this category if this category doesn't have a image.
  • products_collage
    Generates a 2x2 collage of product images from this category.
  • products_slideshow
    Renders a slideshow of products from this category.

During the category ad creative creation, we search for possible renderable categories.

Note: We filter out categories without a name or destination URL. We also filter out categories without images if category_media_source = category.

Common Errors

Creative creation fails if there are less than four eligible categories (for example, to use categories for Advantage+ catalog ads as your creative for a given campaign, there must be at least four unique values in a given column from your data feed file).

Step 3: Provide an Ad Creative

Advantage+ catalog ads templates use inline page posts for creating Advantage+ catalog template creatives.

Build a Template Creative

Creating an Advantage+ catalog ads template creative is similar to creating other ad creatives. The difference is that you can add template parameters that properly render at runtime based on data in your data feed file.

Build the template based on the template_data object of the object_story_spec and use the following fields:

NameDescriptionAccepts Template Parameters

call_to_action

object

Call to Action object.
The value field should be omitted.

No

message

string

Message for your ad, visible on Instagram.

Yes

link

string

Link to your website, used to generate the caption of the ad.
This field will always be replaced with the link field from your data feed file, except for the end card of carousel ads, which will link to this.
Note: This cannot be a Facebook URL.

No

name

string

Name or title for your ad, visible on Instagram.

Yes

description

string

Description for your ad, not visible on Instagram.

Yes

force_single_link

boolean

If there is no image for a given product at the specified index, use the main product image.
Note: Additional image URLs should be unique as duplicates will be removed, which affects the index numbering.

No

child_attachments

array

Enables you to provide one or more static cards in Advantage+ catalog ads for the carousel format.
The static cards appear either before or after all Advantage+ catalog ads. Provide the static_card field set to true for each static card under child_attachments.

No

image_layer_specs

AdCreativeLinkDataImageLayerSpecs

Specifies how to transform the images when they are delivered to users in the ad.
One AdCreativeLinkDataImageOverlaySpec is needed for each layer to define how to render the layer. The layers will be rendered in the order they appear in the list.

No

image_overlay_spec

AdCreativeLinkDataImageOverlaySpec

Specifies how to render overlays on an image for a dynamic item.

No

preferred_image_tags

array

Selects which image to use, if you have added tags to your images.

No

preferred_video_tags

Selects which video to use, if you have added tags to your video.
For any item, we choose the video as follows: we get the first tag in preferred_video_tags that has at least one video for the item, then render the most performant video for that tag and placement. If no tags correspond to a video, we serve the first video. If there are no videos, we fall back to image rendering.
Note: preferred_video_tags will only be applied if your ad is opted into Dynamic Media.

No

Create a carousel slideshow from an Advantage+ catalog ads template

We render each dynamic card in the carousel as a slideshow. Each slideshow displays images from one dynamic item if the item has multiple images. If the dynamic item only has one image, we render a card as a static image.

curl \
  -F 'name=Advantage+ Catalog Ads Template Creative Sample' \
  -F 'object_story_spec={
    "page_id": "PAGE_ID",
    "template_data": {

Enable Video for Advantage+ Catalog Ads

The main steps for creating Advantage+ catalog ads still holds the same. To enable video, you need to include video data and provide that data inside the catalog. See below for necessary changes to make when you create or update catalogs.

Step 1: Set up a catalog

This example uses an XML file; other formats should be similar.

When you add video to the listing, the url and tag fields are supported. Currently, only one video is supported for each product.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<listings>
  <title>Test hotel feed</title>
  <listing>
    <hotel_id>hotel_1</hotel_id>

Video specs

Step 2: Use the API to get video metadata for troubleshooting

You can use the API to check the uploaded data. For every item, allow querying its “video metadata”.

Request
curl -i -X GET \
 "https://graph.intern.facebook.com/v21.0/1234567890?fields=videos_metadata.fields(video,tags,url)&access_token=<ACCESS TOKEN>"

Sample response

Step 3: Enable the video in the creative or ad

To enable product-level video content in ads, see the Create Ads with Dynamic Media documentation.

Click Tracking and Templates

If you track link clicks through a third-party click tracker before redirecting to the final product URL, you can use the template_url_spec field in the ad creative. This allows adding a click tracker template to the ad level without the need to hard code it in your data feed file. You can also use this field to create templates for deep linking.

In this field, you may use dynamic fields such as product URL or ID, and those should be url-encoded if their values can contain characters that make the URL invalid.

Example

To create a carousel Advantage+ catalog ads template with the template_url_spec setting:

curl \
  -F 'name=Advantage+ Catalog Ads Template Creative Sample' \
  -F 'object_story_spec={ 
    "page_id": "<PAGE_ID>", 
    "template_data": { 
      "description": "Description {{product.description}}", 
      "link": "<URL>", 
      "message": "Test {{product.name | titleize}}", 
      "name": "Headline {{product.price}}" 
    } 
  }' \
  -F 'template_url_spec={ 
    "ios": { 
      "app_store_id": "123", 
      "url": "example:\/\/link\/?nav=item.view&id={{product.retailer_id | urlencode}}&referrer=http:\/\/rover.example.com\/rover\/1\/711-198453-24755-9\/16%3Fitemid={{product.retailer_id | urlencode | urlencode}}" 
    }, 
    "web": { 
      "url": "http:\/\/clicktrack.com\/cm325?id={{product.retailer_id | urlencode}}&redirect_url={{product.url | urlencode | urlencode}}" 
    } 
  }' \
  -F 'product_set_id=<PRODUCT_SET_ID>' \
  -F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
  https://graph.facebook.com/v21.0/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/adcreatives  

Use Data Feed File Data in Your Template

When an ad is displayed, Facebook replaces the content in the {{ }} section with the proper values from your data feed file. Available template values are:

NameDescription

brand

The item's brand value from your data feed file.

current_price

The formatted sale price if the product has a specified sale price. Optionally you can specify sale start and end dates for a product and current_price will show the sale price while the item is on sale. If no sale price is specified or the sale dates have passed, this will show the price field.

description

The item's description value from your data feed file.

name

The item's title value from your data feed file.

price

The formatted price column (like $1,234.56).

retailer_id

The item's id value from your data feed file.

url

The item's link value from your data feed file.

custom_label_0

The item's custom_label_0 value from your data feed file.

custom_label_1

The item's custom_label_1 value from your data feed file.

custom_label_2

The item's custom_label_2 value from your data feed file.

custom_label_3

The item's custom_label_3 value from your data feed file.

custom_label_4

The item's custom_label_4 value from your data feed file.

Options

Some template values may receive options, in any order, in the following format:

{{field option1 option2 ...}}

The following options are available:

OptionDescriptionSupported by

raw

Omits the currency symbol

price
current_price

strip_zeros

Omits the cents part in currency if cents are zeros

price
current_price

round

Omits the cent amount of the currency while rounding up the price

All price fields

Transformations

You can use template values with transformations, which adjust your value based on this format:

{{field | transform}}

Use one of these transformations:

TransformationsDescription

number_format

Format the number in a default format, using a comma (",") as thousand separator, rounded to the nearest integer (e.g., 1234.56->"1,235"). The value to format must be an unformatted number ("1234", not "1,234").

titleize

Capitalize the words for a better looking title (e.g., "box" -> "Box").

urlencode

Encode the value for URL.

Specify Desired Behavior of Ads Click from Mobile

When you display a dynamic creative, you can specify the desired behavior when a someone clicks on the ad in the native Facebook app. There are two requirements to be able to use deep linking:

  1. The native mobile app where the user should be sent to supports deep linking (iOS or Android).
  2. The deep link information has been included in the data feed file or deep link information is available through App Links.

If both these requirements are fulfilled, you can use the applink_treatment field while creating an ad creative to specify the desired behavior when a user clicks on an ad.

NameDescription

web_only

Always send the user to the given web URL.

deeplink_with_web_fallback

If the app is installed on the user's phone and we have corresponding deep link information, send the user to the app. If one of these conditions is not met, send them to the website.

deeplink_with_appstore_fallback

Default when app links are present for the product. If the app is installed on the user's phone and we have corresponding deep link information, send the user to the app. If the app is not installed, send them to the app store for the app.

Examples

Creating a carousel Advantage+ catalog ads template with a call to action that will deep link into a native app if available or fall back to the web:

curl \
  -F 'name=Advantage+ Catalog Ads Template Creative Sample' \
  -F 'applink_treatment=deeplink_with_web_fallback' \
  -F 'object_story_spec={ 
    "page_id": "<PAGE_ID>",

      "name": "Headline {{product.price}}" 
    } 
  }' \

Create a Localized Catalog for Advantage+ Catalog Ads

See details in Localized Catalog for Advantage+ Catalog Ads.

Automated Product Tags

Automated product tags are designed to improve your ad performance and help people discover your products from ads more easily.

We may automatically tag products in your Advantage+ catalog ads. To opt-in to automated product tags, set automated_product_tags to true in the template_data of the object_story_spec. You must also provide a product set ID.

Example

curl \
  -F 'name=Sample Creative' \
  -F 'product_set_id="<PRODUCT_SET_ID>"' \
  -F 'object_story_spec={ 
        "template_data": {
          "automated_product_tags": true
          "call_to_action":  {
            "type": "SHOP_NOW"
          },
          "link": "<OFFSITE_LANDING_URL>",
          "multi_share_end_card": false,
          "name": "{{product.name}}"
        }, 
        "page_id": "<PAGE_ID>",

Parameters

NameDescription

product_item_ids

array[string]

List of product FBIDs or Base64 URL-encoded product ID tokens.
Each token is of the form catalog:{catalog_id}:{base64urlencode(retailer_id)}.

Fetch Product Ad Statistics

You can fetch statistics per product by making a GET call to the insights endpoint. Add product_id to the fields parameter.

This shows statistics for all products in an account's product sets displayed in Advantage+ catalog ads.

Example

This example reports clicks, actions, and impressions for each product_id.

curl -G \
  -d 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
  https://graph.facebook.com/<API_VERSION>/<POST_ID>/dynamic_posts

This endpoint returns dynamic post objects.

Once you get dynamic posts, you can fetch comments, likes, product_id, and child_attachments for carousel format, if applicable.
