Support batch requests about facebook-php-business-sdk

[ryancwalsh]

@paulbain Can you or someone please point us in the right direction? This has been open since Mar 2015. I think batch requests in the PHP Ads SDK would be great. Thanks!

Hi, it seems like this issue has been open for more than a few months now. We have made many changes in the SDK since then, including releasing a new version. If you can repro your specific issue with the latest version of the SDK, please create a new issue or comment here with further details.

I didn't see it before but v2.5 of the SDK supposedly supports batch requests: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/php/howto/example_batch_request

Just running into this with our integration, would be nice to have. For now, we might be writing our own curl wrapper...

I think batch requests are already in, I'm using it from v2.4 (for ads and insights download/import). For what exactly you want them?

Is it true that facebook-php-ads-sdk doesn't support batch requests? (That's what http://stackoverflow.com/a/32530905/470749 says.)

Then why does the Ad object have a $pending param in public function getInsights(array $fields = array(), array $params = array(), $pending = false)? What does that allow?

I really just want to be able to grab insights for all active ads (across all campaigns within an account). The Insights edge doesn't seem to allow filtering by ads status, so I thought my approach would be to run 1 query to grab the IDs of all active ads and then run a batch of Insights queries (get the insights for each ad).

What would you recommend?

Not sure if this was a bulk close or if your comment was specific to this issue. I did a quick search and the page on async requests linked in the opening comment now has examples of using AdAsyncRequestSet, so it seems this is indeed fixed.

Thanks for your work!
