Hi,

I am working on a system where there are multiple users with different access tokens to create campaigns. How do I pass in access token during Campaign.create() call as oppose to sdk.init(access_token) which is global? otherwise, I am going to run into race condition.

I'm getting this error thrown after the SDK has made a successful API-call (when checking network in Chrome devtools the API-call was successful and the correct data was returned from the API).

TypeError: Cannot read property 'error' of undefined
at new FacebookRequestError (cjs.js:339)
at eval (cjs.js:466)
at ZoneDelegate.invoke (zone.js:391)
at Object.onInvoke (core.es5.js:3890)
at ZoneDelegate.invoke (zone.js:390)
at Zone.run (zone.js:141)
.....

I've debugged the SDK and the problem seems to be in the XmlHttpRequest request method in http.js on line 54, request.status is a number 200 for me and HTTP_STATUS.OK is a string "200" so the types doesn't not match and the promise is incorrectly rejected even thought the http request was successfull:

if (request.status === HTTP_STATUS.OK) {
resolve(response);
} else {
reject(
new Error({
body: response,
status: request.status
})
);
}

The instructions here tell me that I can opt out my users out of ALL custom audiences by making a call to https://graph.facebook.com/<API_VERSION>/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/usersofanyaudience

This appears to be supported by the Python SDK: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-python-business-sdk/blob/fcc2fe015136a9222334b364c3003a56475ec76c/facebook_business/adobjects/helpers/adaccountmixin.py#L72

Unfortunately, this Node SDK does not appear to support it. I am new to the SDK, so I am not yet sure if there is a simple way to make "raw" or extensible queries where some things are parameterized (like the API version, AD_ACCOUNT_ID, and other auth-related fields), but I decide the endpoint, etc.

Any help would be appreciated!

The method getThumbnails is defined as follow:

getThumbnails (fields: Object, params: Object): Cursor {
    return this.getEdge(VideoThumbnail, fields, params, 'thumbnails');
  }

The call to getEdge misses the parameter fetchFirstPage in 4th position, thus having the parameter endpoint not provided, which ends up in an exception raised when creating the Cursor.

Replacing the definition of getThumbnails with

getThumbnails(fields: Object, params: Object): Cursor {
    var fetchFirstPage = arguments.length > 2 && arguments[2] !== undefined ? arguments[2] : true;
    return this.getEdge(adsSdk.VideoThumbnail, fields, params, fetchFirstPage, 'thumbnails');
}

fixes the problem.

Is there a way to do that? Or do I have to created them one by one?

I have tried to create a new AdAccount for my business, and I can see in the network panel of the browser devtools that I get an error with a message One or more of the ad accounts in your business manager are currently in bad standing or in review. All of your accounts must be in good standing in order to create or add new ad accounts.

However, when I try to display the error message to the user, the message is undefined.

I can see when I console log the FacebookRequestError that the message field is indeed undefined. When looking at the source, it seems that the generation of the Error object expects a name property on the object returned by Facebook, but it is not present (maybe a legacy thing).

Adding a general case in https://github.com/facebook/facebook-nodejs-ads-sdk/blob/master/src/exceptions.js#L68 would at least allow a non-conventional value for the name to not ignore the message returned.

Hey,

I'm trying to request all pages of an ad account, but this method call only returns the page id and not the corresponding name.

Any help here?

new Business(BUSINESS_ID).getAssignedPages([
        Business.Fields.name
    ], {}, true).then((result)=>{
    //console.log("....", result);
    if(result){
        result.forEach((page)=>{
            console.log("getAssignedPages", "----------------->", page);
        })
    }
}).catch((err)=>{

});```

I am trying use this SDK upload video to my AdAccount:

let api = adsSdk.FacebookAdsApi.init(<token>)
api.setDebug(true)
let AdVideo = adsSdk.AdVideo
let advideo = new AdVideo(null, {[AdVideo.Fields.filepath]: "/path/to/video.mp4"}, "<ad account id>")
advideo.create().then(res=>{
    console.log(res)
})

And encountered an error says "_this8 is undefined".

The error trigged in dist/cjs.js/VideoUploadTransferRequestManager.sendRequest:

'use strict';
value: function sendRequest(context) {
    function _recursive() {
         var _this8 = this;
         if (_this8._startOffset !== _this8._endOffset) {
             ....
         }
    }
    ...
    ...
    return Promise.resolve().then(function () {
        ...
        ...
        return _recursive();
    }
}

As the announce 'use strict', this is undefined in function _recursive

And this function in source code is a while loop:

async sendRequest (context: VideoUploadRequestContext): Object {
    ...
    this._startOffset = context.startOffset;
    this._endOffset = context.endOffset;
    ...
    while (this._startOffset !== this._endOffset) {
        ...
    }
    ...
}

I'm not familiar with flow, just want to figure out is this a compile error?

Currently, it seems like if I try getting more than certain amount of fields(it depends on the type of the object and how much data those fields hold) from the object it throws the following error. I think it would be good to document it somewhere.

  status: 500,
  response:
   { error:
      { code: 1,
        message:
         'Please reduce the amount of data you\'re asking for, then retry your request' } },
  method: 'GET',

I'm attempting to fetch all ads that are currently active, accoring to the Ads Manager page, that should be about 130 ads. Yet when this is ran I'm easily getting over 300 (I killed the server at that point). I'm getting ads that have been completed or ended months and sometimes years ago. Not sure if my query is setup incorrectly or if I'm confusing how the effective status is set for the ads. All I need is just the list of current ads that are being delivered.

This is what I'm using to get all the ads:

const ad_fields = [
  Ad.Fields.name,
  Ad.Fields.id,
  Ad.Fields.effective_status,
  Ad.Fields.created_time,
  Ad.Fields.updated_time,
  Ad.Fields.status
];
const ad_filters = {
  [Ad.Fields.effective_status]: [Ad.ConfiguredStatus.active],
}

account
.getAds(ad_fields, ad_filters)
.then(handle_res)
.catch(err => console.error(err));

Anyone had this issue before or have any advice?

I'm trying to get all data related to campaigns within the account, but when I requesting it with all fields selected I'm getting the following error. If I omit those fields, the data comes back just fine. They all seem to be related to budget, so I am guessing it is a permission error, but I allowed all types of requests within my facebook app and I am a bit at a loss at this point. Thank you

Fields that are erroring

Campaign.Fields.bid_strategy
Campaign.Fields.budget_remaining,
Campaign.Fields.daily_budget,
Campaign.Fields.lifetime_budget,

I have made adStudy.
but It is not reflected in the advertisement manager.

To create a campaign as an A / B test, create a campaign with iterative_split_test_configs ?
please tell me iterative_split_test_configs's sample.

Or update a campaign with adStudy's id ??

In example wrote how get adAccount campaigns , but not have how get all adAccounts of User.
How get adAccounts of user, and how did batch request for get campaigns ?

Hi,
Is there any way to retrieve comments on an ad?

I understand that each ad is actually a post from a page- I can use the graph api to retrieve these comments as I would any other post. But I was wondering if anything in here would allow me to do the same. I would assume this is done with the PagePost object, but I can't seem to find comments.

I see things such as "comments_mirroring_domain" or "child_attachments," but they dont seem to contain the comments.

thanks

Hello, guys, I started to use your library and found a pretty nasty bug in FacebookAdsApiBatch.
In the constructor we could pass successCallback as a parameter, so it'll be saved in the pool of callbacks:

constructor (
    api: FacebookAdsApi,
    successCallback?: Function,
    failureCallback?: Function
  ) {

    ...

    if (successCallback != null) {
      this._successCallbacks.push(successCallback);
    }

    if (failureCallback != null) {
      this._failureCallbacks.push(failureCallback);
    }
  }

When we're adding requests to the batch, we could pass successCallback as well, but during execution callbacks applied from the common pool of callbacks (including general success callback, which we passed in constructor):

for (let index = 0; index < responses.length; index++) {
  const response = responses[index];

  if (response != null) {
    const apiResponse = new APIResponse(response, this._batch[index]);

    // Call the success callback if provided
    if (apiResponse.isSuccess) {
      if (this._successCallbacks[index]) {
        this._successCallbacks[index](apiResponse);
      }
    } else {
      // Call the failure callback if provided
      if (this._failureCallbacks[index]) {
        this._failureCallbacks[index](apiResponse);
      }
    }
  } else {
    // Do not get response, so, we keep track of the index to retry
    retryIndices.push(index);
  }
}

So here index is an index of response, but when we add general success callback, amount of callbacks will be always response.length + 1, so last success callback will never be called.

And it seems the same situation with failureCallbacks.

I should not have to dig into the source code to see what a function returns.

You should either:
Get fully working maps
OR
Provide documentation, there is literally ZERO

I ran the sample code from the docs of facebook marketing api. And I am continuously getting this error.

The error provides a link which is invalid (facebook says). May be this error is not related with the implementation of this package. But is there anyone who knows the reason for this error.

I have created a new application and I cannot use older version of the API. This is the error I get:

An error occurred while processing, Node.js getCampaigns Edge
Error Message:FacebookRequestError: (#2) Service temporarily unavailable
Error Stack:Error

i cant use getCampaigns and similar functions. But i can modify and update them by supplying their id.

While trying to use this library I noticed that some of the paths are not up to date. For example, when I try to access an AdAccount with the correct access token, it tries to hit the endpoint:

POST https://graph.facebook.com/v3.0/<account_id>/campaigns?access_token=<access_token>

FacebookRequestError: Unsupported post request. Object with ID '<account_id>' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api

But it looks like when I do the same exact request via Curl with the endpoint:

POST https://graph.facebook.com/v3.0/act_<account_id>/campaigns?access_token=<access_token>

It works. I'm assuming this has to do with the version of the graph API that is being used. Would appreciate some help on this. Thank you!

Hello,
I am facing so many issues over SDK, Please provide me proper examples and documentations for NodeJS SDK for business,
Also provide me idea upon dependencies of internally fields.

While 3/4 calls work, every other call I'm getting the following error message when calling account.createCampaign:

{ message: 'Unsupported post request. Object with ID \'SOME_CAMPAIGN_ID\' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api',
        type: 'GraphMethodException',
        code: 100,
        error_subcode: 33,
        fbtrace_id: 'DV8Huvneiyi' }

is it possible something is being cached in the background from a previous call?

Best roundrobin

For context: I'm calling the method from within a Express endpoint.

I'm updating a bunch of adsets, and not sure why the part of them is throwing the error on update. I haven't found the description of this error in facebook docs nor here hence opening an issue. My use case is to remove flexible_spec field, so I'm pushing an empty array as a value of the property. It works for most of my adset updates but there are certain cases when it doesn't. Thank you for taking a look

Hello, I would like to ask why nodejs documentation and example doesn't indicate on this link
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/audiences-api
does facebook documentation not yet updated for a long time ?

Thank you

IMPORTANT: For security, it is recommended that you turn on 'App Secret
Proof for Server API calls' in your app's Settings->Advanced page.

There does not appear to be any way to set or generate the appsecret_proof for calls to the APIs. This renders this whole new SDK useless to those of us who adhere to the above quote.

Am I missing something in the code or docs that is obvious or does this still need to be built?

If it's the later, I have built a generator and injector in my own npm module for accessing the graph apis and would gladly assist in bringing it into this project if this is needed..

Hi ,

I am pretty much a noob to nodejs, javascript and the facebook API. So I apologies if this bug report isn't as helpfull as it could be.

I created a new Facebook App (today) and I am trying to get some ad insights (account.getInsights) but running into a versioning issue :

FacebookRequestError: (#2635) You are calling a deprecated version of the Ads API. Please update to the latest version: v2.12.

Guessing this is related to yesterday 2.12 release :
https://developers.facebook.com/ads/blog/post/2018/01/30/graph-api-212-release/

Any tips would be much appreciated ...

Reproduction steps:

2. Make a call via SDK e.g. create or read a campaign

Hey folks,

If a request times out (happens on our end if we're hammering the API quickly), then the SDK crashes.

Here's the error:

{ handle: 14,
  type: 'error',
  className: 'Error',
  constructorFunction: { ref: 15 },
  protoObject: { ref: 16 },

I am using customaudience.js to create custom audience. Through the samples provided, I can create custom audience successfully. After creating custom audience, I am trying to addUsers and CreateUsers with External Identifiers. I feel the required field name is EXTERN_ID and not present in the sdk file custom-audience.js. Are there any nodejs samples available for this? My request payload will be like this
payload={"schema":"EXTERN_ID","data":["ExternIDTest123","ExternIDTest456"]} and I tried createUser([fields],parameters). fields=['EXTERN_ID'] and parameters=payload. Am I doing something wrong here? This is my error : ```
(node:8184) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): FacebookRequestError: (#100) Missing required parameter: payload

Got this error when calling the API using properties from the ads-insight object:

"(#100) breakdowns[0] must be one of the following values: age, country, dma, gender, frequency_value, hourly_stats_aggregated_by_advertiser_time_zone, hourly_stats_aggregated_by_audience_time_zone, impression_device, place_page_id, publisher_platform, platform_position, device_platform, product_id, region"

The HTTP call sent has the breakdowns in uppercase like this:
breakdowns: PUBLISHER_PLATFORM,IMPRESSION_DEVICE

Made a pull request to fix:

Hey guys,

Sorry to bother with this, however I code in JS (node, react, angular, etc) and I have never seen the way you write code before.

That said, I am having some issues with the tutorial code on the README.md file. I would really appreciate if you could explain it to me.

I am trying to read some campaign and account objects, but I have some doubts here:

const adsSdk = require('facebook-nodejs-ads-sdk');
const accessToken = '<VALID_ACCESS_TOKEN>';
const api = adsSdk.FacebookAdsApi.init(accessToken);
const AdAccount = adsSdk.AdAccount;
const account = new AdAccount('act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>');
account
 .read([AdAccount.Fields.name, AdAccount.Fields.age])
 .then((account) => {
   logPassedTest(test1 + ':Pass', account);
 })
 .catch((error) => {
 });

1. Where is logPassedTest defined?
2. Where is test1 defined and used before logging?
3. How can I iterate over all campaigns of one ad_account?

Thanks!

We have a bunch of jobs that we would like to run concurrently. However, if we do so we have no guarantee that the appropriate token will be used. Simple reproduction case follows:

const adsSdk = require('facebook-nodejs-business-sdk');
const Promise = require('bluebird');

const { AdAccount } = adsSdk;

async function runForAccount(actId, token, waitTime) {
  adsSdk.FacebookAdsApi.init(token);

  console.log('waiting for', waitTime, 'ms (', token, ')');
  await Promise.delay(waitTime);
  const account = new AdAccount(actId);

  try {
    const info = await account.read([AdAccount.Fields.name, AdAccount.Fields.age]);
    console.log(info._data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log('bad token failed');
  }
}

const actId = '<act_id>';
const badToken = '<bad_token>';
const goodToken = '<good_token>';

runForAccount(actId, goodToken, 2000);
runForAccount(actId, badToken, 10);

desired output:

bad token failed
{ id: '<id>', name: '<name>', age: '<age>' }

actual output

bad token failed
bad token failed

Is there some way to work around this so that we can have multiple instances of the sdk running at the same time? Or is there a plan to support this kind of use in the future? Javascript in particular is heavily asynchronous, this side-effect behavior is not desirable. We've resorted to making the requests directly ourselves for now but would prefer to use the official sdk if possible.

package.json

here
"mixwith": "~0.1.1",
"request": "^2.81.0",
"request-promise": "~4.1.1",
Are the only deps that make sense to me here. Not sure why all the others made it in. They should be in dev dependancies. Unneeded bloat for everyone who uses your package.

I am trying to figure out how to build a creative that uses a video. However, there aren't any docs or examples that show how to accomplish this. I tried the following based on a working AdImage function that I have

async function createAdVideo(accountId, filepath) {
  const AdAccount = adsSdk.AdAccount;
  const account = new AdAccount(accountId);
  const AdVideo = adsSdk.AdVideo;
  
  var video = await account
  .createAdVideo(
    [],
    {
      [AdVideo.Fields.filepath]: filepath
    }
  )
  
  return video
}

But all I ever get is "FacebookRequestError: Video Upload Time Out: Your video upload timed out before it could be completed. This is probably because of a slow network connection or because the video you're trying to upload is too large. Please try again."

When using an object of type adsSdk.AdCreativeObjectStorySpec to assign to the field object_story_spec to create a new AdCreative, Facebook returns an error stating:

object_story_spec param is invalid
Object story spec is ill formed. Maybe missing Page ID or creative details, or invalid fields exist

Replacing the ObjectStorySpec instantiation by a simple JavaScript object {} fixes the problem.

Hi -

I am having trouble getting data using Insights API. Below is the piece of code I have -

const adsSdk = require('facebook-nodejs-business-sdk');

const accessToken = "XXXXX";

const account = new AdAccount('act_XXXXXX');

account.getInsights([AdInsight.Fields.impressions,AdInsight.Fields.spend,AdInsight.Fields.cpc, AdInsight.Fields.cpm], {
level: AdInsight.Level.adset
})
.then((insights) => {

console.log(insights.length) // returns 0

})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error)
});

It always returns 0 insights; i have tried couple of combinations. Am i doing something wrong here?

thanks.

What am I doing?
I am trying to remove 10K+ users at once from an audience, like so:

(new CustomAudience(audienceId))
    .deleteUsers({payload: {
        schema: ['EMAIL'],
        data: [
            [<hashed_email>],
            [<hashed_email>],
            [<hashed_email>],
            ... 12000 more emails
        ]
    })
    .then(response => {
        callback(null, response);

        return null;
    })
    .catch(error => {
        callback({
            message: 'removeUsersFromAudience_error',
            data: {
                message: error.message || error,
                stack: error.stack || null
            }
        });
    });

What I expect to happen?
I expect to remove the users from audience and receive the response

{
    "audience_id": "<audience_id>",
    "session_id": "<session_id>",
    "num_received": <number_of_emails>,
    "num_invalid_entries": 0,
    "invalid_entry_samples": {}
}

What is actually happening?
I get the following error

Other observations
It works if I make the request the old way:

request.delete(
    'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.12/<audience_id>/users',
    {
        form: {
            payload: {
	        schema: ['EMAIL'],
		data: [
		    [<hashed_email>],
		    [<hashed_email>],
		    [<hashed_email>],
		    ... 12000 more emails
		]
	    },
	    access_token: <access_token>
        }
    },
    function(error, response, body) {
      ...  
    });

"facebook-nodejs-business-sdk": "^3.0.5"

When trying to create several objects, for example a campaign and an adset using the same instance of AdAccount, eg:

const account = new AdAccount(ACCOUNT_ID);

account.createCampaign(...)
.then(campaign => {
    account.createAdSet(...)
})

Facebook returns an error Unsupported post request. Object with ID '.....' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api for the second create call

The problem disapears if I replace this with:

new AdAccount(ACCOUNT_ID).createCampaign(...)
.then(campaign => {
    new AdAccount(ACCOUNT_ID).createAdSet(...)
})

I'm trying to use getReachEstimate with a null fields array and a default set of params, but i'm not getting a proper response.
Response: {"data":{"users":242000000,"estimate_ready":true}}
above is the only response even if i modify the targeting_spec in any way.

I've created custom audiences based off some of the examples, but I don't see anywhere that says how to add the users to the custom audience. I've tried looking through the other SDK's and it looks they each have a specific function that adds the users to it. I tried using the custom-audience-data-source object to put the hashes in but still no luck. Also tried just placing the schema type and data source in the fields and params when calling the function but neither seem to do anything either. Can it be done with the SDK or do I just have to use something else?

When using an AdAccount to create an object, such as a campaign, the returned object is an AdAccount where the fields are those of the created object.
eg:

const account = new AdAccount(ACCOUNT_ID);
account.createCampaign(
    ['id', 'name'],
    {
        'name': 'My Campaign',
        'status': 'ACTIVE',
    }
).then(campaign => {
    // do something with the campaign
});

Here the variable campaign is an AdAccount with its name set as My Campaign and its id being the id of the campaign created.

The returned object should be of the type of the object created.

When someone creates a new application from now on, he cannot use any older version of the api than the latest.

Hi, is there a way to refresh access token here? or it is auto managed by the sdk given the first initial access token? thanks!

I'm trying to pull ads info/insight on an account but am confused how it works. I'm using the code below,:

account
.read([AdAccount.Fields.name])
.then((account) => {
// logPassedTest(test1 + ':Pass', account);
console.log(account: ${JSON.stringify(account)})
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error: ${error})
});

// this returns the below format, data is omitted.

{
"_data": {
"id": "",
"name": ""
},
"_fields": [],
"_changes": {},
"id": "",
"name": "",
"_api": {
"accessToken": "",
"locale": "en_US",
"_debug": false

How do i pull info on the fields returned, since just an array of field name returns? How can I get the values from these field names? How can I pull general analytics data on the Ads Account?

This is probably a stupid question, but I cant figure out how to POST to "https://graph.facebook.com/<API_VERSION>/<BUSINESS_ID>/client_pages"

I can see getClientPages() which works but is it possible to post to /client_pages?
