App Store Ads Operator
Apple Ads auth is separate from App Store Connect auth. Start read-only and require approval before live mutations.
Ground Rules
- Check
asc ads --helpor subgroup help before scripting. - Use
--output jsonfor automation. - Most commands need an org ID; prefer
--org, or setASC_ADS_ORG_ID. - Never guess payload fields. Put Apple Ads JSON in files and pass
--file. - Do not mutate until the user names the org and approves the resource type.
Auth And Org
asc ads auth login --name "Marketing" --client-id "$ASC_ADS_CLIENT_ID" \
--team-id "$ASC_ADS_TEAM_ID" --key-id "$ASC_ADS_KEY_ID" \
--private-key "$ASC_ADS_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH" --org "$ASC_ADS_ORG_ID" --network
export ASC_ADS_CLIENT_ID="SEARCHADS_CLIENT_ID"
export ASC_ADS_TEAM_ID="SEARCHADS_TEAM_ID"
export ASC_ADS_KEY_ID="KEY_ID"
export ASC_ADS_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH="$HOME/.asc/apple-ads-private-key.pem"
export ASC_ADS_ORG_ID="123456"
asc ads auth status --validate --output json
asc ads auth doctor --output json
asc ads me view --output json
asc ads acls --output json
Org precedence: --org, ASC_ADS_ORG_ID, stored profile org_id, config ads.org_id.

Mutations
asc ads campaigns create --org "123456" --file campaign.json --output json
asc ads campaigns update --org "123456" --campaign 987654321 --file campaign-update.json --output json
asc ads ad-groups create --org "123456" --campaign 987654321 --file ad-group.json --output json

asc ads campaigns delete --org "123456" --campaign 987654321 --confirm
For raw API gaps:
asc ads api request --method POST --path v5/campaigns/find --org "123456" --file selector.json --output json
Raw paths must be Apple Ads v5 paths or full https://api.searchads.apple.com/api/v5/... URLs. DELETE still requires --confirm.
Live Test Checklist
Start with me view and acls; print org ID; create paused/future-dated resources named ASC CLI Live Test <timestamp>; save IDs; delete only the test parent campaign/ad group; list again to confirm cleanup. Apple may reject direct deletion for default product page creative ads.
