Foreplay API: Competitor Ad Data for Software Workflows and AI Agents

LinkForeplay, Inc.Tool

Foreplay provides an advertising API that gives developers programmatic access to ad data from over 300,000 brands. Drawing from a library of more than 100 million live and historical ads, the API is designed to supply AI agents and automated creative workflows with competitor insights.

Key points

  1. Three distinct API endpoints: Spyder API for competitor tracking (including creative velocity, transcripts, images, and video), Discovery API for querying the ad database by keyword or domain, and Swipe File API for accessing saved internal collections.
  2. Credit-based pricing model: One credit corresponds to one ad retrieval, regardless of whether video, copy, landing page, or transcript metadata is included.
  3. Tiered pricing: All base and trial tiers include 10,000 monthly credits; add-on packages start at 100,000 credits for $99/month up to 500,000 credits for $349/month and custom enterprise plans.
  4. No rollover policy: Unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle without carryover or proration.

Why it matters

Programmatic access to social ad creatives allows performance marketing teams and developers to build automated competitive intelligence pipelines and feed generative AI workflows with real-world creative references.

Analysis

By explicitly marketing the API for AI agents alongside traditional agency workflows, Foreplay taps into the growing demand for structured training and context data in creative automation. The flat 'one ad = one credit' mechanism simplifies retrieval costs, although the lack of credit rollover demands steady usage from teams integrating the API.
