# Meta ad performance

`POST /api/v1/tools/meta_get_ad_performance/execute`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://adako.ai`
- URL: `https://adako.ai/api/v1/tools/meta_get_ad_performance/execute`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Ad-level results joined with the creative behind each ad (creative name and thumbnail), plus the previous-period comparison.
Use when: choosing which creative to keep, refresh or turn off, or when the user asks which ad is working.
Do not use to compare audiences — that is meta_get_adset_performance with a breakdown.
Returns frequency alongside CTR: a rising frequency with a falling CTR is the usual signature of creative fatigue, and is worth saying out loud when the numbers show it.
Scope with ad_set_id or campaign_id; ad-level reporting across a whole account is slow and rarely what the user means.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- object
  - `arguments` object
    - `ad_account_id` string: Meta ad account id such as act_1234567890. Omit it to use the primary account; if several accounts are active and none is primary the call fails and lists the valid ids.
    - `date_range` 'today' | 'yesterday' | 'last_7_days' | 'last_14_days' | 'last_30_days' | 'this_month' | 'last_month': Preset window. The "last N days" ones end yesterday, so no partial day is mixed in. Either this or start_date + end_date, never both.
    - `start_date` string: First day, YYYY-MM-DD. Needs end_date.
    - `end_date` string: Last day, YYYY-MM-DD, inclusive. Needs start_date.
    - `campaign_id` string: Only ads in this campaign.
    - `ad_set_id` string: Only ads in this ad set.
    - `limit` integer: Maximum ads (default 20, ordered by spend).
    - `raw_data` boolean: Return compact JSON only (no markdown). Use when you will compute on the result.

## Response `200`

The tool ran. A write returns proposal_id and approve_url while the change waits for approval.

- SuccessEnvelope
  - `success` unknown, required
  - `tool` string, required
  - `data` object, required: Machine-readable result.
  - `markdown` string, required: The same result written for a person or a model.
  - `quota` Quota: Task usage for the current billing period.
    - `plan` string
    - `used` integer
    - `limit` integer
    - `period_end` string
    - `upgrade_url` string
  - `proposal_id` string: Present for writes. Nothing changes on the ad platform until it is approved.
  - `approve_url` string: Where a person approves the proposal.
  - `request_id` string, required
