# Meta Ads Signal Engine
An engineering operating system for reliable Meta Ads conversion tracking, Pixel & Conversions API (CAPI) implementation, deterministic event deduplication, customer matching, and attribution preservation.
## Verify the API version before writing code
**Never hardcode a Graph API version from memory or from these notes.** Meta ships a new version roughly every quarter and retires each one after about two years, so any version written down here is stale the moment it is written.
| Check | Where |
| --- | --- |
| Current Graph API version | `https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog` |
| Conversions API parameters | `https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/conversions-api/parameters` |
Pin the version in **one** exported constant so a bump is a one-line change, never a grep across trackers:
```typescript
// Verified against the changelog on <date>. Re-check before bumping.
export const META_GRAPH_API_VERSION = 'v26.0';
const endpoint = `https://graph.facebook.com/${META_GRAPH_API_VERSION}/${pixelId}/events`;
```
Reference snippets below are illustrative of *structure*, not of the current version string.
## Core Philosophy
Tracking quality alone does not guarantee lower Cost Per Acquisition (CPA), but sending **correct, server-authoritative, deduplicated, and matchable conversion signals** ensures Meta's auction algorithms learn from valid business outcomes.
