IMPORTANT: Call this tool to find valid targeting IDs BEFORE creating campaigns or ad groups. Covers ALL targeting types: - interest_categories: Browse all interest categories (fashion, gaming, food, etc.) — returns IDs for interest_category_ids - interest_keywords: Search interest keywords by a seed keyword (e.g., "fitness") — returns keyword IDs for interest_keyword_ids - regions: Get available locations (countries, provinces, cities) — returns location IDs for location_ids/target_locations - languages: Get available language codes — returns codes for languages targeting - action_categories: Get app event categories — for conversion tracking - carriers: Get mobile carrier names — for carrier targeting - device_models: Get device models — for device targeting Common usage patterns: - Before create_tiktok_campaign: search regions + interest_categories to set targeting - Before add_tiktok_ad_group: search interest_keywords for new audience segments - Before update_tiktok_ad_group: search regions to expand/narrow location targeting Parameters: - targeting_type: REQUIRED — which type to search (see above) - keyword: REQUIRED for interest_keywords — seed keyword to search - level_range: For regions — TO_COUNTRY (default), TO_PROVINCE, TO_CITY, TO_DISTRICT - language: Display language for results (default: en) ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json post /api/v1/tools/search_tiktok_targeting/execute openapi: 3.1.0 info: contact: email: support@adspirer.com name: Adspirer Support 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": { } } ``` 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: ` 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. title: Adspirer REST API version: 1.0.0 servers: - description: Production url: https://api.adspirer.ai security: [] tags: - description: Audit tools name: audit - description: General (Account Management) tools name: general - description: Google Ads tools name: google-ads - description: LinkedIn Ads tools name: linkedin-ads - description: Meta Ads tools name: meta-ads - description: Monitoring & Reporting tools name: monitoring - description: TikTok Ads tools name: tiktok-ads paths: /api/v1/tools/search_tiktok_targeting/execute: post: tags: - tiktok-ads summary: Search TikTok Targeting description: >- Search TikTok targeting options for campaign creation and ad group management.
