Response fields and example
This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

"platform": "meta_ads",

}The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.
Schema basis: observed response shapes, not an exhaustive field specification. See schema coverage and validation limits.
Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.
| Field inside data | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
cursor | string | null | Opaque next-page token; pass it back unchanged. Null does not prove complete history. |
dropped | number | null | Optional dropped supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items | array | null | Returned records. Source coverage and completeness vary. |
items[].body | string | null | Optional body supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].cta | string | null | Optional cta supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].display_format | string | null | Optional display format supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].ended_at | string | null | Optional ended at supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].id | string | null | Source identifier. Preserve the supplied type and exact value. |
items[].images | array | null | Source array was empty in the reviewed captures; item fields remain unspecified. |
items[].is_active | boolean | null | Optional is active supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].link_url | string | null | Optional link url supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].page | object | null | Optional page supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |

Optional fields reviewed from preserved successful responses. Additive fields and source variations remain allowed; validate the fields your workflow requires.
The example is invented and illustrates types only; zero and empty values are not claims about a real result.
Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
