Parameters

sort_by is order-only: ranking by total_impressions does not mean the response carries verified spend or impression counts. Search may return a non-null collation_count that is null on scrapecreators.x.v1-facebook-adlibrary-ad detail for the same ad — grouping semantics differ between search and detail; do not treat collation_count as creative-variant or budget counts.
