Credentials

flour-ads looks for credentials in this order:

1. OS Keyring (macOS Keychain, Linux Secret Service, Windows Credential Locker)
2. JSON file at ~/.flour-ads/credentials.json
3. Environment variables

Google Ads

export GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN="..."
export GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_ID="..."
export GOOGLE_ADS_CLIENT_SECRET="..."
export GOOGLE_ADS_REFRESH_TOKEN="..."
export GOOGLE_ADS_CUSTOMER_ID="1234567890"

See docs/google-ads-setup.md for the full setup guide.

Adding a Platform

flour-ads uses a plugin architecture. To add a new platform:

1. Create src/flour_ads/platforms/yourplatform/adapter.py
2. Inherit from AdPlatform and implement all abstract methods:

from flour_ads.platforms.base import AdPlatform

class YourPlatformAdapter(AdPlatform):
    platform_id = "yourplatform"
    platform_name = "Your Platform"

    async def authenticate(self, account_id, credentials): ...
    async def create_campaign(self, account_id, config): ...
    async def pause_campaign(self, account_id, campaign_id): ...
    async def resume_campaign(self, account_id, campaign_id): ...
    async def get_performance(self, account_id, campaign_id, date_range): ...
    async def list_campaigns(self, account_id, status=None): ...
    async def update_budget(self, account_id, campaign_id, daily_budget): ...

3. Register via entry point in pyproject.toml:

[project.entry-points."flour_ads.platforms"]
yourplatform = "flour_ads.platforms.yourplatform.adapter:YourPlatformAdapter"

Platforms

Platform	Status	Notes
Google Ads	Ready	Search campaigns, RSA ads, keyword targeting
Meta (Facebook/Instagram)	Stub	Adapter skeleton in place
TikTok	Planned
