Twitter Ads API

The Twitter Ads API allows partners to integrate with the Twitter advertising platform in their own advertising solutions. Selected partners have the ability to create custom tools to manage and execute Twitter Ad campaigns.

How does it work?

Ads API Process

We provide three levels of Twitter Ads API access to support partner development needs: developer, basic and standard. The levels are sequential and partners are not permitted to skip stages.

Developer

Developer allows companies to begin creating a tool without any active advertisers. This level gives developers the ability to build out workflows using the Twitter Ads API before receiving full access. This access level will enable up to 5 oAuth Tokens and will restrict various API functionality and may be subject to additional limitations. Partners are strictly prohibited from creating, managing and/or reporting advertiser campaigns via the Twitter Ads API at Developer level.

Criteria

  • One positive referral from a client, advertiser or Twitter team (outside of Ads API)
  • Clear value proposition on how how your solution will supplement the Twitter ads offering and improve advertiser performance
  • History of compliance with Twitter developer policies
  • Experience running Twitter Ads
  • Twitter App ID associated with a corporate @username, with no more than 5 active tokens

Basic

Basic access level provides increased Twitter Ads API access to ‘Developer’ partners in order to prove the efficacy of their solution.

Criteria

  • Approval from the Twitter Ads API team after a formal review of the fully developed Ads API solution
