First, to use Facebook programmatically via the Facebook API, you need to create a Facebook (or should we call it "Meta") app. This will allow you to generate an access token that is your authentication when calling the Graph API. We'll tackle that right after getting our app. After that, there are just a few simple steps, and all you require is an...
An access token identifies the user (like an email and password) used to authenticate your API calls. That way, Facebook knows whether you have access to the ad account for which you are requesting data. A user access token is used for precisely this purpose, to prove that you are authorized to look at any data and make any changes you'd usually be...
You will need to understand a few other core concepts to successfully navigate the Facebook Graph API. The goal of this introduction is not just for you to follow along but to understand how you might retrieve other important information via the Facebook API or make changes to existing ad objects.
Now let's get you to make your first Facebook API call in the Facebook Graph API Explorer. 1. Choose GET request. We use a GET request whenever we want to retrieve information from the Facebook Marketing API. If we wanted to change or create something new, we would use a POST request. 2. Then, add the following path: 1. Click Submit. You should see...
Type caption (optional) Let's continue: 1. On the left side, choose the adaccounts field or add adaccounts in the URL path and submit. If the run is successful, you will see all of the accounts you have access to. 1. Facebook API, by default, uses pagination - it will give you only 25 elements back. If you want more, include the following limit par...
Let's access one specific ad account
1. Choose an account id, which you know had some ad spend in the last 90 days. 2. All account ids have act_in front of the actual account id. To fetch your account, make sure to add it. Type caption (optional) 1. Click on docs, and scroll until Facebook Marketing API. Next, click Reference on the left side. In Reference, you will find all relevant information about possible edges and parameters available for any object. 2. Click on Ad Account on the left side. You will see which type of infor...
To access all campaign objectson your ad account via Graph API, input the following path:To add a parameter, add a ? and the names of the desired fields - we'll start with the id and name.a) Get a campaign's adsets
1. First, let's get all adsets belonging to our specified campaign, using the /adsets edge. 1. Click on one of the adsets from the previous step or input a new adset id. 2. To retrieve an adset's daily budget via Facebook API, use ?fields=daily_budget path Type caption (optional) Note that budget or bid information always shows as cents (if your account's currency is set to EUR/USD) or pence(for GBP accounts)! 1. Add some of the additional suggested fields you are interested in to retrieve th...
b) Change an adset's daily budget
1. Change GET to POST. POST requests are used when we want to create a new or make changes to an existing ad object. 1. To change the budget, use the desired value in cents by adding it after the daily_budget parameter. You still have to specify which fields Facebook API should return on its response. Type caption (optional) If successful, Facebook API will return the newly updated daily budget. Congrats! This is the first change that you have made via the Graph API!
To retrieve the URL or any other user-facing parts of your ad from Facebook API, retrieve the adcreatives edge. Ad creatives is the edge that allows you to read any creative data inside of the ads.
Use the Graph Explorer. The Graph Explorer tool is a UI that allows you to experiment with Facebook APIs without adding code to your app or website. You can select permissions, get access tokens, test GET, POST, and DELETE methods, and get code snippets of these queries for Android, iOS, JavaScript, PHP, and cURL.
