X Ads API Currency Handling for Conversion Events

You've identified a key issue with how currency values are handled in the X Ads API. Based on the documentation, there appears to be a discrepancy between how you're sending the values and how the API expects them.

The Currency Micros Format

According to the X Ads API documentation, currency values are represented in micros. This means:

• For a currency like ARS (which has a precision of two decimal places), a value of 10280.00 ARS should be encoded as 10280.00 * 1,000,000 = 10,280,000,000 micros
• This is why your values appear orders of magnitude larger in the UI - the API is interpreting your raw value as already being in micros

Correct Format for Sending Purchase Conversions

When sending conversion events with currency values, you should format your request like this:

PYTHONCopied
# For a purchase worth 10280.00 ARS
POST version/measurement/conversions/:pixel_id

{
    "currency": "ARS",
    "value": 10.28,  # Send the actual value divided by 1,000,000
    # other required parameters...
}

Alternatively, you could adjust your backend logic to divide your currency values by 1,000,000 before sending them to the API.

Currency Precision

The documentation notes that ARS has a precision of two decimal places, similar to USD, EUR, and many other currencies. This means values are typically represented as X.XX (e.g., 10280.00).

Recommendation

1. Modify your implementation to account for the micros format
2. For your example of 10280.00 ARS, you should either:
   • Send 0.01028 as the value (10280.00 / 1,000,000)
   • Or adjust your backend to divide all currency values by 1,000,000 before sending

This should resolve the discrepancy you're seeing in the Ads Campaigns UI for the "Purchases - sale amount" column.
