Twitter Ads

Last updated on Oct 20, 2024

Twitter Ads is an online advertising platform that allows businesses to reach their desired target audience on Twitter. It can be used to promote content, products, services, events, website traffic, and app downloads. Twitter displays these ads in the form of promoted tweets, accounts, and trend takeovers.

Hevo uses the Twitter Ads API to ingest the data from your Twitter Ads account and replicate it into the desired Destination database or data warehouse for scalable analysis. You must obtain the API keys and tokens to allow Hevo to access data from your Twitter Ads account.


Source Considerations

  • From version 10 of Twitter Ads API, only advertising-enabled accounts are visible in the Ads Accounts drop-down while configuring Twitter Ads as a Source in Hevo. Any existing Pipelines created with accounts not enabled for advertising are not affected. However, if you want to continue using the non-advertiser accounts, you must enable them for advertising. Read Ads account creation for the steps to do this.

  • Twitter Ads has made the following changes to the Line Items object:

    • Renamed the bid_type field to bid_strategy.

    • Deprecated the automatically_select_bid and tracking_tags fields.

    As a result, from Release 1.81 onwards, Hevo:

    • automatically maps the bid_strategy field to the Destination table, if you had enabled Auto Mapping while creating the Pipeline.

    • ingests null values for the automatically_select_bid and tracking_tags fields.


Limitations

  • None.
