# Meta Ads Control

Use this skill for Meta Marketing API work. Prefer the bundled script because it gives structured JSON output, dry-run protection, retries, pagination, batch support, async Insights jobs, targeting search, and asset upload.

## Before you touch spend or delivery

1. Discover scope.
   ```bash
   python3 scripts/meta_ads.py accounts
   python3 scripts/meta_ads.py account
   ```
2. Confirm the intended ad account, currency, timezone, and writable objects.
3. For any change that can spend money, change delivery, or alter tracking:
   - prepare a short plan,
   - run `--dry-run`,
   - show the exact objects and fields to be changed,
   - wait for explicit user approval,
   - then rerun with `--confirm`.
4. Default new campaigns, ad sets, and ads to `PAUSED` unless the user explicitly asks to go live immediately.
5. After any write, do a read-after-write verification with `get`, `list`, or `request GET`.

## Authentication and environment

The script reads:

- `META_ACCESS_TOKEN` — required for live API calls
- `META_AD_ACCOUNT_ID` — optional default account, with or without `act_`
- `META_API_VERSION` — defaults to `v25.0`
- `META_GRAPH_BASE` — defaults to `https://graph.facebook.com`

If `META_ACCESS_TOKEN` is missing, help the user set it up first instead of guessing or fabricating API responses.

OpenClaw users can inject these values through skill config. See [OpenClaw notes](references/OPENCLAW.md).

## Fast path by task

### 1) Audit or diagnose an account

Start with the smallest read that answers the question.

```bash
python3 scripts/meta_ads.py account --fields id,name,account_status,currency,timezone_name,amount_spent,spend_cap
python3 scripts/meta_ads.py list campaigns --fields id,name,objective,status,effective_status,daily_budget,lifetime_budget
python3 scripts/meta_ads.py list adsets --fields id,name,campaign_id,status,effective_status,daily_budget,lifetime_budget,optimization_goal,bid_strategy
python3 scripts/meta_ads.py list ads --fields id,name,adset_id,campaign_id,status,effective_status,creative
```

Use `batch` when you need several small reads at once. Use minimal field sets first.

### 2) Performance reporting

Use `insights`. Start with a narrow level and date window. For large windows, many fields, or breakdowns, use `--async`.

```bash
python3 scripts/meta_ads.py insights act_123 --level campaign --date-preset last_7d
python3 scripts/meta_ads.py insights act_123 --level ad --fields ad_id,ad_name,spend,impressions,clicks,ctr,cpc,actions,action_values,purchase_roas --date-preset last_30d --async --fetch-all
```

If the user asks for conversions or ROAS, include `actions` and `action_values`. If the user asks for demographic or placement splits, use `--breakdowns`. If they ask for action-level splits, include `actions` and use `--action-breakdowns`.

### 3) Pause, resume, or archive objects

Prefer `set-status` for single-object changes.

```bash
python3 scripts/meta_ads.py set-status 120000000000000 PAUSED --dry-run
python3 scr
