# Ad video library

`GET /v1/ads/videos`

Lists the ad account's video library (Meta's `/act_X/advideos`), rows returned verbatim.
The default projection covers id, title, status, poster frames and length; `fields` is a
raw-passthrough override. Any `id` here is reusable as `video.id` on the create
endpoints, so N ads that differ only in copy share one upload.

This is the only way to reach a video uploaded OUTSIDE Zernio (Ads Manager, another
tool); videos we uploaded also come back as `creative.videoId` on GET /v1/ads.

Meta transcodes asynchronously, so a row is only usable once `status.video_status`
reads `ready`. There is no upload operation here: upload by URL inline via `video.url`
on POST /v1/ads/create.

## Query parameters

- `accountId` string, required
- `adAccountId` string, required
