## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| keyword | not declared | yes | not declared | 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. |
| country | not declared | no | not declared | 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. |
| status | not declared | no | not declared | 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 keyword is an Ad Library URL, its embedded active_status may differ from this parameter; keep the two consistent. |
| limit | integer (1–200) | no | 20 | The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 200. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

|---|---|
| id | The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
