Project Type: One-time build with ongoing work Expertise Required: Meta Marketing API, Meta Ad Library API, WordPress, PHP/Python/Node.js automation scripting, AI integrations (ChatGPT/GPT APIs) About the Project We are building a custom Meta Ads Automation Platform that integrates: - Meta Ad Library API (for competitor ads & insights) - Meta Marketing API (to create/manage our own ads) - AI content generation (headlines, hooks, copy, creatives) - A WordPress admin dashboard (our internal control panel) We need an experienced developer to write the scripts, API integrations, cron jobs, automation triggers, and backend logic that will power the system. This is NOT a simple plugin job — it involves real API engineering, logic scripting, and automation design. What You Will Build You will work with us to create: 1. API Scripts (Core System) - Fetch competitor ads using Meta Ad Library API - Store data in WP custom tables - Sync daily/weekly - Analyse data with AI endpoints - Push results into dashboard 2. Meta Ads Automation - Using Meta Marketing API, build scripts to: - Create campaigns / ad sets / ads - Upload images/videos - Set budgets and schedules - Auto-pause, auto-scale, duplicate winners - Trigger actions based on performance data 3. AI Integration (ChatGPT or similar) - Generate ad copy - Rewrite competitor angles - Create new creatives - Analyse hooks and offers - Build a “creative engine” that feeds back into Meta 4.
