tiktok_list_campaigns
Read the campaigns of one TikTok ad account from TikTok now, with the status and the budget of each.
Ask what runs on one TikTok ad account at this moment. The agent asks TikTok, and not the copy that AdCrunch stores.
Which campaigns run on the TikTok US account now?
The agent calls tiktok_list_campaigns with that advertiser. You see each campaign with its status, its objective and its budget. Read your accounts shows the full job.
Reference
TikTok: list the campaigns of one ad account, as TikTok holds them now. Each call asks TikTok now, and it counts against the rate limits of TikTok. AdCrunch stores nothing from this read. To read one, send its id in ids. budget is in whole units of currency: 50 is 50.00. budgetLevel tells whether the campaign or the ad group carries the budget. createdAt, updatedAt and deletedAt are null on each row, because AdCrunch stored nothing. For a read across ad accounts, or of what AdCrunch stores, call list_campaigns. The answer holds at most limit rows (default 100, maximum 500). When it carries nextCursor, more rows exist: call this tool again with the same arguments and cursor set to that value. When it carries no nextCursor, you have every row.
Input
| Argument | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
advertiserId |
string | yes | The TikTok ad account to read, prefixed acc_. It must belong to the active organization. Find it with list_advertisers. |
ids |
array of (string, at least 1 character), at least 1 item | no | Read only the campaigns with these ids: the value that each row answers as id. To read one, send one id. |
status |
one of ACTIVE, PAUSED, DELETED, ARCHIVED |
no | Read only the entities that are set to this status, not the entities that deliver. Each row of the answer carries this status. TikTok takes DELETED and ARCHIVED. Another status fails with live_read_unsupported. In its place, call list_campaigns with advertiserId and status to read what AdCrunch stores. A status that TikTok never uses answers an empty list. |
cursor |
string, at least 1 character | no | The nextCursor of the previous page. Omit it to get the first page. Send it with no change, and with the same filters as the request that answered it: a cursor from a different query gets a 400 invalid_cursor. Do not build or change a cursor. |
limit |
integer, 1 to 500 | no | The greatest number of rows on the page, from 1 to 500. The default is 100. A greater value gets a 400, with error of invalid_request. Default: 100. |
Output
A successful call returns this object in structuredContent.
| Field | Type | Always present | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
campaigns |
array of object | yes | The campaigns of the ad account, as TikTok holds them now, in the order of TikTok. An empty array can carry nextCursor: then more rows can exist. |
campaigns[].advertiserId |
string | yes | The advertiser that owns it, prefixed acc_. |
campaigns[].createdAt |
number or null | yes | When AdCrunch first stored this row. Null when the row was read live: AdCrunch holds no copy of it. createdAt, updatedAt and deletedAt are AdCrunch’s own times, so all three are null together on a live row. |
campaigns[].createdTime |
number or null | yes | When the provider created the entity. This is the provider’s own time, so a live row carries it. Null where the provider reports none. |
campaigns[].currency |
string or null | yes | The account currency, ISO 4217. Every row of one advertiser carries the same one. Null when AdCrunch does not know it yet. |
campaigns[].deletedAt |
number or null | yes | When AdCrunch marked the row deleted. A listing never carries a deleted row, so this is null. |
campaigns[].id |
string | yes | The id the provider gives, with no prefix. It is unique for one provider and one type, and it may legitimately recur across two types or two providers. |
campaigns[].name |
string | yes | The name at the provider. |
campaigns[].path |
string | yes | The ancestors and this entity, ids joined by /, oldest first. This is what makes a subtree one string comparison. |
campaigns[].provider |
string | yes | The ad platform: meta, tiktok or gads. Those three are the providers whose entities AdCrunch reads, and https://docs.adcrunch.dev/connect/providers says how deep each one goes. |
campaigns[].status |
one of ACTIVE, PAUSED, DELETED, ARCHIVED |
yes | The status, normalized across the providers. TikTok ENABLE and DISABLE read here as ACTIVE and PAUSED. |
campaigns[].updatedAt |
number or null | yes | When AdCrunch last rewrote this row. Null if it never changed. |
campaigns[].updatedTime |
number or null | yes | When the provider last edited the entity. Null where the provider reports none. |
campaigns[].budget |
number or null | yes | The budget this entity carries itself, in whole units of currency: 50 is 50.00, never 50 cents. It is the unit of spend on an Insight, so a budget and a spend compare directly. AdCrunch converts each provider’s own unit — Meta’s minor unit, TikTok’s whole units and Google Ads’ micros — so every provider answers the same unit here. Null when the entity carries no budget of its own: budgetLevel then says where its budget lives. A campaign answers a budget only when its budgetLevel is campaign, so a budget always paces delivery at the level that answers it. Null also when AdCrunch does not know the account currency yet, because nobody can read a budget with no currency. At Google Ads one budget may be shared by several campaigns, and each of them answers the whole shared amount. A stored budget can be older than the rest of the row. Meta does not mark a campaign changed when only its budget changes, and AdCrunch does not yet follow a Google Ads budget change, so the ingestion can miss a budget edited in the provider’s own interface. A live read answers the budget the provider holds now. AdCrunch takes a budget in the same whole units when it writes one, so a budget you read here goes back with no conversion. |
campaigns[].budgetLevel |
one of campaign, ad_group or null |
yes | Where the budget of this entity’s campaign lives. campaign when the campaign carries it — Meta Advantage campaign budget, TikTok Campaign Budget Optimization, and every Google Ads campaign. ad_group when each ad group carries its own. Null on a TikTok campaign whose payload does not say. |
campaigns[].budgetType |
one of daily, lifetime or null |
yes | daily for a budget spent each day, lifetime for one spent over the whole life of the entity. Null exactly when budget has no provider value to describe. |
campaigns[].objective |
string or null | yes | The campaign’s objective, kept as the provider writes it: Meta OUTCOME_SALES, TikTok TRAFFIC. It is the provider’s word, for the same reason type is. Null on every Google Ads campaign, because Google Ads has no objective. |
campaigns[].type |
string | yes | The type the provider uses, kept as the provider writes it: campaign at every provider. The resource names the concept, and the row keeps the provider’s own word, because a Meta adset and a Google Ads ad_group are not the same object. |
nextCursor |
string | no | Send this value as cursor to get the next page. It is absent on the last page. |
