Facebook api – Facebook Marketing API Not working when using Exactly what they are asking for?

My code Thats producing the error, I have * out all of the details for obvious resins ,but i can assure you that the details are correct as of my knowledge


from facebook_business.adobjects.adaccount import AdAccount
from facebook_business.adobjects.campaign import Campaign
from facebook_business.api import FacebookAdsApi

access_token = '#############'
app_secret = '##############'
app_id = '###############'
id = '############'
FacebookAdsApi.init(access_token=access_token)

fields = [
]
params = {
  'name': 'My campaign',
  'objective': 'OUTCOME_TRAFFIC',
  'status': 'PAUSED',
  'special_ad_categories': [],
}
print (AdAccount(id).create_campaign(
  fields=fields,
  params=params,
))

    So after much investigation i figured it out, The facebook Ads API is outdated with python atleast using python2, I tried Using curl as a subprocess with python and Success works flawlessly heres the code

    import subprocess

# Define the curl command as a list of strings
curl_command = [
    'curl',
    '-X',
    'POST',
    '-F',
    'name="My campaign"',
    '-F',
    'objective="OUTCOME_TRAFFIC"',
    '-F',
    'status="PAUSED"',
    '-F',
    'special_ad_categories=[]',
    '-F',
    f'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>',
    f'https://graph.facebook.com/v18.0/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/campaigns'
]

# Execute the curl command
try:
    result = subprocess.run(curl_command, capture_output=True, text=True, check=True)
    print(result.stdout)
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
    print(f"Command failed with error: {e}")

    Based on your sample, it looks like you are trying to create campaigns under a specific ad account. The error message is indicating that either you have the wrong ad account ID, or you do not have the correct permissions.

    When you generate the access token, I believe you will need ads_management permissions for what you are trying to achieve.

    My advice is to use the graph API explorer tool to grant the proper permissions and to test the call.

    You can verify which permissions your access token has by using the access token debugger tool. Make sure it has atleast ads_read and ads_management in the scopes field.

    Another tip, you can grab the ad account ID from the url when you load ads manager. It is the act GET param.
