Meta Ads / API Reference
meta_ads_image_pipeline
Meta Ads tool. Upload an image from a public URL to the Meta image library and return image_hash. Downloads the image bytes and uploads as multipart/form-data (works even without Advanced API Access). Use this as step 2 of the image pipeline: Step 1: Generate image externally (Gemini / Nano Banana / any tool) → get public URL Step 2: Call this tool with the URL → get image_hash ready for ad creatives Args: image_url: Public URL to the JPG/PNG/GIF image to upload (required). account_id: Ad account ID. Leave blank to use META_AD_ACCOUNT_ID from .env.
This is a read-only tool: it returns image pipeline for your Meta Ads account. It changes nothing.
