Boosted Ads
Get boosted ads from your Facebook account
Retrieve ads that have been boosted for a specific Facebook post.
This boosted ads endpoint provides detailed information about the boosted ads, including status, current spend, performance metrics (analytics), and preview links.
The metrics are real-time totals for the ads. If you need historical data, use the get ad history endpoint.
The
previewLinkURL allows you share the preview ad with your colleagues, so that they will see the ad for 24-hours across the various Facebook formats. Your colleagues' views of the ad will not be counted towards your ad spend.
