Get ad details
Returns an ad with its creative, targeting, status, and performance metrics.
The {adId} path segment accepts any identifier dialect Zernio indexes for the ad:
- the Zernio internal
_id(24-char hex) - Meta's numeric
platformAdId(the value shipped incomment.receivedwebhooks ascomment.ad.id) - the creative's
effective_object_story_id({pageId}_{postId}shape, Facebook side) - the creative's

Any of the four resolve to the same ad. Caller doesn't need a translation step.

Returns a paginated list of ads with metrics computed over an optional date range. Use source=all to include externally-synced ads from platform ad managers. If no date range is provided, defaults to the last 90 days. Date range is capped at 730 days max. To find the Zernio ad behind a comment you see in Meta Business Manager, filter by platformAdId (the Meta ad ID), effectiveObjectStoryId (Facebook), or effectiveInstagramMediaId (Instagram) — those are the post/media the ad's engagement lives on, and are also returned on each ad's `creative` object. Then call GET /v1/ads/{adId}/comments with the returned ad id.
Create standalone ad
Creates a paid ad with custom creative across Meta, Google Ads, Pinterest, TikTok, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, and OpenAI Ads (ChatGPT Ads). Supports three mutually-exclusive request shapes selected by the body, a legacy single-creative shape (all platforms, default), a Meta-only multi-creative shape via the creatives array (one ad set with N ads sharing budget and targeting), and an attach shape via adSetId that adds one new ad to an existing ad set, inheriting its budget, targeting, and schedule (Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn; on LinkedIn adSetId is the existing Campaign id, and the budget, schedule, targeting and bidding fields must be omitted). Per-platform required fields, budget minimums, and video-ad rules are documented on each property below. LinkedIn creates a Single Image or Single Video Ad backed by a Direct Sponsored Content "dark post" authored by a Company Page (see `organizationId`); supported goals are engagement, traffic, awareness, and video_views (video ads use the `video` field; video_views requires a video), and traffic ads require `linkUrl`. **Idempotency:** this endpoint is not idempotent at the platform level (a blind retry creates a second campaign/ad set/ad). Send an `Idempotency-Key` header to make retries safe: the first request with a given key creates the ad and we store the response; a retry with the same key replays that exact response (with `Idempotent-Replayed: true`) instead of creating duplicates. Reusing a key with a different body returns 422; a key whose first request is still in flight returns 409 (retry after a short backoff). Keys are scoped to your credential and expire after 24h.
