Advertising API Integration: Real-Time Campaign Management & Cross-Platform Performance Data
Blog post from Unified.to
Modern SaaS products increasingly require real-time access to paid media data, facilitated by Advertising API integration, which enables direct interaction with advertising platforms like Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and Amazon Advertising. Unified's Advertising API offers a normalized interface to manage campaigns, ads, creatives, budgets, and performance metrics across multiple platforms, without storing data, ensuring the freshest data possible by directly routing requests to the source platforms. This API is distinct from CRM or Marketing APIs as it focuses solely on paid media operations and performance, providing a unified framework that abstracts the differences between various ad networks, thus simplifying the integration process. It supports cross-platform reporting, spend monitoring, AI-driven campaign analysis, and data warehousing, while maintaining strict compliance with privacy regulations by not exposing personal identifiable information. Despite these advantages, users must navigate provider-specific constraints and field variability, which can impact the functionality of certain features.
