Apple Ads runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 76 installs a week from npm. Last commit 17 Mar 2026.
Manage Apple Search Ads campaigns, keywords, budgets, and reports via API v5.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Apple Ads every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
