Ad Previews

Preview existing ads and generate previews of ads you want to create. Generated previews are based on your ad creative. For ad preview provide a user access token, not a Page access token. For example, preview existing ad creative:

  -d 'ad_format="DESKTOP_FEED_STANDARD"' \
  -d 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \

Generating Previews

There are a few ways to generate a preview, using:

Ad ID
Ad Creative ID
Supplying a creative spec

To use an ad ID for an existing ad, use ad's previews .

https://graph.facebook.com/<API_VERSION>/<AD_ID>/previews

To use an existing ad creative's ID, use the ad creative's previews .

https://graph.facebook.com/<API_VERSION>/<AD_CREATIVE_ID>/previews

To use an ad creative spec , you have two endpoint options:

/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/generatepreviews , or
/generatepreviews — The creative passed in this call should not be associated with a specific ad account.

For Advantage+ catalog ads pass the entire object_story_spec into the /generatepreviews endpoint, and also use product_item_ids described in Advantage+ Catalog Ads, Preview .

Previews from an ad account are only visible to people who have a role on the ad account. Previews generated using generatepreviews edge are visible to anyone.

https://graph.facebook.com/API_VERSION>/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/generatepreviews
https://graph.facebook.com/API_VERSION>/generatepreviews

Any of the four endpoints above will return an ad preview object

Examples

Create a preview using object_story_spec :

 use FacebookAds\Object\AdAccount;
use FacebookAds\Object\AdCreative;

use FacebookAds\Object\Values\AdCreativeCallToActionTypeValues;

    'value' => array(
