    If you’re looking to determine if your Facebook ad account is restricted, you can make a request to the following endpoint:

    ${version}/${ad-account-id}?fields=id,name,account_status.

    Once you’ve made the request, you’ll want to check the account_status field.

    If the value is 2, 101, or 202, then your ad account is indeed restricted.

    Here’s the request that you need:

    https://graph.facebook.com/graphql?access_token=TOKEN&doc_id=3797389657004143&variables={assetOwnerId:USERID}&method=post

    Just replace the TOKEN and USERID params to the ones that you need and you’ll get a result like this:

    {
   "data":{
      "assetOwnerData":{
         "name":"Cenneth Orlino",
         "profile_picture":{"uri":""},
         "advertising_restriction_info":{
            "is_restricted":false,
            "restriction_date":null,
            "restriction_type":null,
            "status":"NOT_RESTRICTED",
            "additional_parameters":null
         },
... Many more useful info here ...

    You need the advertising_restriction_info field.

    Another way to do the same check is to query an ad account for the field is_user_allowed_to_advertise:

    https://graph.facebook.com/v16.0/act_ADACCOUNTID/?access_token=TOKEN&fields=is_user_allowed_to_advertise
