# Validate And Prepare Meta Assets

> User wants to upload NEW images for Meta campaigns. This tool validates images and uploads them to Meta to get image hashes.

This tool validates image URLs against Meta's specifications and uploads them to get image hashes needed for campaign creation. It stores validated assets in a temporary bundle (60-minute TTL).

Returns:
- Validation results (pass/fail per image)
- Image hashes for successfully uploaded images
- Asset bundle ID for use in campaign creation
- Placement compatibility information

When to use this tool:
- "Upload this image for my Meta campaign"
- "Validate my product images for Facebook ads"
- "Prepare images for Instagram ads"
- User provides image URLs and wants to create a campaign

Parameters:
- image_urls: List of public URLs to validate and upload (1-10 images)
- placement: Target placement - 'feed' (default), 'stories_reels', or 'carousel'
- ad_account_id: Required for multi-account users. Get from list_connected_accounts

Execution time: 5-15 seconds (depends on image count and size)
Data source: Meta Ad Image Upload API

Image Requirements:
| Placement | Aspect Ratio | Min Dimensions | Max Size |
|-----------|-------------|----------------|----------|
| Feed | 1:1 or 4:5 | 600x600 | 30MB |
| Stories/Reels | 9:16 | 500x888 | 30MB |
| Carousel | 1:1 | 1080x1080 | 30MB |

Workflow:
1. Use `validate_and_prepare_meta_assets` with image URLs
2. If successful, receive an `asset_bundle_id`
3. Use that bundle_id with `create_meta_image_campaign`

  description: >-
    REST endpoints for every Adspirer tool. Same surface as the MCP server, over
    plain HTTP for consumers that can't speak SSE (n8n, Zapier, Make, curl, any
    language's HTTP client).


    ## Envelope

    Every request wraps tool-specific input in an `arguments` object:

    ```json

    { "arguments": { <tool-specific fields> } }

    ```

    Every response wraps the result in either a success envelope (`success:
    true`, `data: {...}`) or an error envelope (`success: false`, `error:
    "..."`, `is_error: true`).


    ## Authentication

    Pass your API key as `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...` on every request.
    Generate keys at https://adspirer.ai/keys.


    ## Quota & billing

    Every successful billable call decrements your monthly tool-call allowance.
    The current counter is attached to every 200 response under `data.quota`:

    ```json

    "quota": { "used": 42, "limit": 150, "tier": "plus", "period_end":
    "2026-05-01" }

    ```

    When the limit is hit, the API returns HTTP 402 with a full `quota` block
    including `upgrade_url`. Read-only diagnostic tools (`get_usage_status`,
    `list_connected_accounts`, `get_connections_status`) are exempt and never
    consume quota.


    ## Idempotency

    Write operations accept an `Idempotency-Key: <uuid>` header. A repeated call
    with the same key returns the cached result rather than executing twice.
    **Strongly recommended for n8n, Zapier, and any retry-prone client** — it
    prevents duplicate campaigns when networks misbehave. Generate a fresh UUID
    per logical operation (not per retry).


    ## Multi-account users

    Customers with multiple connected accounts on the same platform (e.g. an
    agency with 10 Meta ad accounts) must specify which account to use via
    `ad_account_id`, `customer_id`, `advertiser_id`, or `account_id` depending
    on the platform. Omitting it returns HTTP 400 with a list of valid account
    IDs. See `list_connected_accounts` to discover available IDs.


    ## HTTP status codes

    - `200` — success (parse `data`)

    - `400` — tool-level error (surface `error` to users)

    - `401` — bad/missing API key

    - `402` — Adspirer quota exhausted

    - `404` — unknown tool name

    - `429` — upstream ad platform rate-limited us (Meta/Google/etc.) — retry
    with backoff

    - `500` — server error, report to support


    ## Streaming

    This endpoint is plain request-response JSON. There is **no SSE, no chunked
    streaming**. Safe to use from n8n Cloud's HTTP Request node, Zapier
    Webhooks, Make HTTP module, curl, and every mainstream HTTP library.
