How health is measured
  • Health = the share of calls that returned data, in percent. Empty results, failures and unknown outcomes do not count as returning data.
  • Levels: 90% and above is healthy, 70% and above is available, 40% and above is limited; anything lower is mostly down.
  • A period (the last 24 hours, one hour or one day) gets a score only once it has at least 50 calls. Periods with fewer calls show as normal: a few failures among a handful of calls do not mean the API is down.
  • Calls include real customer calls and our own daily probe calls. Request errors (wrong parameters, no balance) are excluded.
  • Average time counts only calls that completed normally: response time for sync calls, acceptance to completion for async ones.

Use the ads action on Facebook. Accepts these parameters: country, status, and keyword. Returns these fields: started_at, title, ended_at, and advertiser_id.

Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Request parameters

NameInTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
AuthorizationheaderstringYes-Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository.
platformbodystringYesfacebookPlatform identifier, fixed value.
actionbodystringYesadsCapability identifier, fixed value.
keywordbody.paramsNot declaredYes-Specifies the search query for distinct platform endpoints. For search, it searches public posts; for ads, it accepts ad keywords or direct Ad Library and Page URLs; for marketplace, it accepts item search terms or complete Marketplace search URLs. Each action queries a different dataset rather than returning the same results under different field names.
countrybody.paramsNot declaredNo-Specifies the country code for keyword queries in the ads action, such as US (defaults to US). Values are converted to uppercase when constructing request URLs. If keyword is provided as a complete URL, the parameters embedded in that URL take precedence and this country setting is not applied.
statusbody.paramsNot declaredNo-Filters ad page status with allowed values: all (default), active (currently running), or inactive (stopped). This represents ad delivery status rather than ad review status. When passing an Ad Library keyword URL, the embedded active_status condition operates on a separate input path and is not guaranteed to filter identically to this parameter.
limitbody.paramsinteger (1–200)No20

Response example

Real response

Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the source does not provide are never made up.

FieldMeaning
idThe record's unique ID on the source platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
urlLink to the record on the source platform.
textBody text with HTML removed. Long text may be truncated.
titleTitle. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts).
cta_textKeeps the platform's own meaning
link_urlKeeps the platform's own meaning
is_activeKeeps the platform's own meaning
started_atKeeps the platform's own meaning
ended_atKeeps the platform's own meaning
platformsKeeps the platform's own meaning
variant_countKeeps the platform's own meaning
advertiser_idKeeps the platform's own meaning
advertiser_nameKeeps the platform's own meaning
advertiser_urlKeeps the platform's own meaning

Errors and billing

401
Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422
Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402
Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429
Per-minute request limit reached. Wait for Retry-After and try again.
503
Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty
The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).

Official references

Used only to check objects and terms. They do not imply authorization or endorsement of EveryInfra by the platform.

  • Meta Official: Ads and Page Search Objects in the Ad Library ↗

    Historical Meta announcements introduce searching ads by keyword or Page and highlight transparency data differences between general active ads and political or issue ads, along with official API requirements; this does not imply that all ads include spend, impressions, or complete history, as this endpoint does not offer those stable fields.
