Read only Scope: read Pro and Scale plans Credits: Free*

What it does

Search Meta targeting: countries, locations (regions and cities: their key goes in adset_settings.regions / cities), interests, behaviors, demographics (life events), locales (languages). Use the ids / keys in prepare_launch adset_settings.

Example

Your assistant calls it for you when you ask in your own words. What it sends (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0):

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search_targeting",
    "arguments": {
      "type": "countries"
    }
  }
}

The same call over HTTP with an API key, for an MCP client of your own (an assistant that signs in sends its OAuth token instead):

curl

curl -X POST https://app.apogee.ad/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APOGEE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_targeting","arguments":{"type":"countries"}}}'
