Three Meta API endpoints that surface what Ads Manager hides
Bianca Bergshoeff has published a practitioner guide to three underused Meta API endpoints. The /insights endpoint slices performance beyond Ads Manager's standard breakdowns: by placement, age, gender, country, and frequency patterns: and includes creative ranking scores that can surface inefficiencies before they cost budget.
What changed
The /adcreatives endpoint pulls all creative assets across an account in a single call, including carousel card URLs, product sets, and DPA templates: useful for audit and governance work at scale. The /ad_recommendations endpoint surfaces creative fatigue signals, audience overlap flags, and delivery blocks before launch rather than after. Bergshoeff notes none of these requires coding: only willingness to read the documentation and run test calls.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means practitioners managing large Meta accounts have a faster diagnostic path than Ads Manager's UI allows: bookmarking this guide is useful before the next performance investigation or account audit.
