Contains information to display an ad and associate it with an ad set. Each ad is associated with an ad set and all ads in a set have the same daily or lifetime budget, schedule, and targeting. Creating multiple ads in an ad set helps optimize their delivery based on variations in images, links, video, text or placements.
Note that results returned by synchronous_ad_review
does not represent the final decision made during full review of your ad.
To increase transparency of ads on Facebook, we require advertisers running ads with political content to complete authorization. We will begin enforcing this in the next few weeks. You must also indicate that your ad has political content and provide the name of the funding source for the ad:
Your ad account must be authorized by a Page admin to run political ads for this Page. This is done by a Page admin on the Issue, Electoral or Political Ads
tab under Page Settings
.
Ad account users must go through a verification process.
With Facebook's ads tools such as Ads Manager or light-weight interfaces, you can create an ad with a Page Mention. This displays a link in your ad which opens an advertiser's Facebook page. We do not provide this functionality in Marketing API. If you try to create an ad with the API with a Page Mention it will succeed, however we will deliver the ad without the mention. Instead, use one of Facebook's ads tools.
To create or copy an ad which is in an ad set targeted in the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA) regulated locations, please set the payor/beneficiary information first. For your convenience, if the default_dsa_payor
and default_dsa_beneficiary
are set in an ad account, during the copying process, even if the original ad set does not set payor or beneficiary, it will be filled with saved default values. For more information on copying ads that target DSA regulated locations in the EU, see the Ad Copies reference documentation.
Meta will stop showing ads to youth in the EU, EEA, and Switzerland as early as the week of November 6, 2023. When creating new ad sets or updating existing ones that target youth in the EU, EEA, and Switzerland, they will be prevented. Existing ad sets targeting youth in the EU, EEA and Switzerland, will pause delivery as early as the week of November 6, 2023. Existing ad sets targeting youth in the EU, EEA, and Switzerland and in other regions will see a warning that the ads in the ad sets will no longer be delivered to youth in the EU, EEA, and Switzerland.
Creating an ad:
curl -X POST \
-F 'name="My Ad"' \
-F 'adset_id="<AD_SET_ID>"' \
-F 'creative={
"creative_id": "<CREATIVE_ID>"
}' \
-F 'status="PAUSED"' \
-F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
https://graph.facebook.com/v21.0/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/ads
To create a political ad, provide authorization_category
with the value POLITICAL
. For example:
curl -X POST \
-F 'name="My AdGroup"' \
-F 'adset_id="<AD_SET_ID>"' \
-F 'creative={
"creative_id": "<CREATIVE_ID>"
}' \
-F 'status="PAUSED"' \
-F 'authorization_category="POLITICAL"' \
-F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
https://graph.facebook.com/v21.0/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/ads
See:
An ad object contains the data necessary to visually display an ad and associate it with a corresponding ad set.
curl -X GET \
-d 'fields="id,name"' \
-d 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
https://graph.facebook.com/v21.0/<ADGROUP_ID>/
To read all ads from one ad account:
use FacebookAds\Object\AdAccount;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\AdFields;
$account = new AdAccount($account_id);
$ads = $account->getAds(array(
AdFields::NAME,
));
// Outputs names of Ads.
foreach ($ads as $ad) {
echo $ad->name;
}
Read all ads from a campaign:
curl -X GET \
-d 'fields="name"' \
-d 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
https://graph.facebook.com/v21.0/<AD_CAMPAIGN_ID>/ads
To read all ads from one ad set:
use FacebookAds\Object\AdSet;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\AdSetFields;
$adset = new AdSet($adset_id);
$ads = $adset->getAds(array(
AdFields::NAME,
));
// Outputs names of Ads .
foreach ($ads as $ad) {
echo $ad->name;
}

Before you create an ad, you need an existing ad set and ad creative. You can create ads synchronously and asynchronously.
New ads are in pending state and do not run until Facebook approves or rejects them. After we approve an ad it runs. If you do not want an ad to automatically run after approval, create it and set its ad set to paused
(see ad set). Run the ad set when you are ready.
Due to iOS 14.5 changes, Deferred Deep Linking is no longer available for SKAdsNetwork Campaigns.

-F 'status="PAUSED"' \
