Frequently Asked Questions

What is a social media ads API?
A social media ads API is a programmatic interface that lets developers automate ad management through REST API calls: campaign creation, audience targeting, budget management, and analytics.

How does Zernio's Ads API compare to integrating directly with Meta, Google, or TikTok?
Each platform's native API requires creating a developer app, going through a platform-specific approval process, building separate OAuth flows, and learning a unique campaign object model. Zernio wraps all 7 platforms behind one REST endpoint with a normalized data model.

Can I use the Ads API with AI agents or automation tools like n8n?
Yes. Zernio's Ads API works with any tool that can make HTTP requests. For AI agents, Zernio offers an MCP server with 280+ tools including ad management. For no-code automation, use the official n8n node, Make integration, or Zapier integration to automate ad creation, budget adjustments, and analytics reporting.

What ad campaign objectives are supported across platforms?
Supported objectives include engagement, traffic, awareness, video views, lead generation, conversions, and app promotion. Availability varies by platform.

Which platforms can I run ads on?
Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Google Ads, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and X (Twitter). Each platform is mapped to native campaign objectives and targeting options. See the individual platform pages for detailed API guides.

Do you import ads I created outside Zernio?
Yes. Auto-sync runs regularly and imports ads from all connected ad accounts, including performance metrics.

Is there a REST API for ad management?
Yes. Zernio provides a full REST API for creating, pausing, editing, and deleting ads. Manage audiences, search targeting interests, and pull real-time analytics programmatically.
