When to use it

Inspect active and inactive Meta and Google counts, new creatives, media mix and EU reach-based spend bands. Counts cover creatives with displayable media, not every ad in the source library.

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDefaultAllowed valuesDescription
appIdstringYes——"ios:284882215", "android:com.example.app", or a bare id together with `source` Minimum length: 1. Maximum length: 210.

Defaults and constraints come from the published Zod input schema. “—” means no schema default or no enum restriction. Use JSON values of the listed type; additional handler rules are described above.

Free vs paid results

The named app keeps its identity on Free, while identities in discovery lists beyond position 10 and revenue fields are hidden. Reach-based advertising spend bands are distinct from app revenue.

Paid access does not fill coverage gaps or unknown values. Returned plan metadata and lock notes explain redaction where applicable. Read the full Free data policy.

Rate limits and usage credit

Days reset at 00:00 UTC. The combined ISO week resets Monday at 00:00 UTC. Every served tool call counts, including cached reads. Failed or refused calls are released along with any charge. Compare plans.

After either allowance, Basic and Pro can opt in to pay $0.02 in usage credit per call to get_app_ads_summary. A call exceeding both windows is charged once. Free is refused past its allowances; paid plans without opt-in or enough credit are also refused with HTTP 402 / JSON-RPC -32004.

Credential request throttles and, for live keyword work, store-work throttles also apply. Follow retry instructions in the error reference.
