Marketing API

Marketing API

The Marketing API is a collection of Graph API endpoints and other features that can be used to help you advertise across Meta's family of apps. Before advertising on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp, we recommend you learn about Meta's Ad Campaign Structure, to understand the objects you're working with and how they relate to each other.
