Only people signed in through the company's single sign-on can use it. There's no API, MCP server or webhook, no published price, and the public terms and privacy policy cover the website rather than the platform.\n\n**X Ads API.** Rate limits are published per endpoint type, a sandbox host never serves ads, and the X Ads MCP server has separate read and write scopes and creates campaigns paused. The REST API needs OAuth 1.0a signing and an approved app, no OpenAPI file covers it, and the official Python and Ruby SDKs were last released in May 2022.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### FetchIQ\n\n1. Don't try to call FetchIQ. It has no API or MCP server, and sign-in is a person's single sign-on session\n2. Ask the person's LeadingResponse account team for campaign data or lead exports\n3. Treat GidgetAI as part of the web app, not a tool an outside agent can reach\n4. Leads may reach a person's CRM through LeadingResponse's integration, so read them there\n\n### X Ads API\n\n1. Build against `https://ads-api-sandbox.x.com/12/` first. Create a test account with `POST accounts` and a funding instrument there before touching a live account\n2. On HTTP 429 wait until the time in `x-rate-limit-reset`. On 503 wait for `retry-after`. The docs say apps that ignore these can be throttled or lose access without notice\n3. Read the account-level limit from `x-account-rate-limit-*` when present and use `x-rate-limit-*` only when it is absent\n4. For a read-only MCP session request `ads.read offline.access` only. Without `offline.access` the token expires in about two hours with no refresh\n5. Page with `count` (1 to 1,000, default 200) and `cursor` until `next_cursor` is null. Analytics endpoints page by time range instead, and `with_total_count` cannot be combined with `cursor`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, FetchIQ or X Ads API?\n\nX Ads API scores 57.3 (C) on agent readiness against FetchIQ's 10.3 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Can an agent call FetchIQ and X Ads API without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for FetchIQ.
