POST /v1/ads/builds/{build_id}/build
Build (or rebuild) the plan from the current inputs.
Authentication
Send an API key as a bearer token. The key must carry the ads.manage permission; a key without it is refused with 403, not 404.
This endpoint takes no organisation id. Your key already identifies the organisation it belongs to, and the response is scoped to it.
Try it
Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.

Starts the build workflow (status building -> ready or failed with an error.code): keyword research per market (billed vendor spend — refused for an organisation not in good standing, §2.46), the ads (AI on the organisation's own key or its Zinn® AI credits, one meter), the policy pre-check and the forecast. Nothing reaches Google.
