# Search targeting interests

`GET /v1/ads/interests`

> **Deprecated.**

Deprecated alias for `GET /v1/ads/targeting/search?dimension=interest`. Kept for
backward compatibility, it returns the legacy `{ interests: [...] }` shape rather
than the normalized `{ results: [...] }`. New integrations should use
`GET /v1/ads/targeting/search` with `dimension=interest`.

## Query parameters

- `q` string, required
- `accountId` string, required

## Response `200`

Matching interests

- object
  - `interests` object[]
    - `id` string
    - `name` string
    - `category` string

## Other responses

- `400` — Invalid request
- `401` — Unauthorized
- `403` — Ads access required. Legacy plans need the Ads add-on; included by default on usage-based plans.
- `404` — The account or requested resource was not found or is not accessible. An account ID may have been disconnected and removed. Read GET /v1/accounts for current account IDs.
- `409` — The account exists but is inactive or needs reconnection. Reconnect it, then read GET /v1/accounts for its current account ID before retrying. Code: ads_connection_required.
