Create AdAccount about facebook-php-business-sdk

[pruno]

Hi @alexkappa,

Through the API, only accounts owned by a business (not a user) can be created. Despite we are working on it, the SDK doesn't yet support the business manager API objects.

If you need to access that endpoint i suggest you temporary create the account through a direct API call (you i'll be able to read and update the account through the AdAccount class).

$response = Api::instance()->call(
  '/<BUSINESS_ID>/adaccounts',
  RequestInterface::METHOD_POST,
 array(
   AdAccountFields::NAME => 'My Business Account',
   // All other required params 
  )
);

$account_id = $response->getContent()[AdAccountFields::ID];

$account = new AdAccount($account_id);

Note: i haven't tested this code :)

Thanks @pruno, we'll work around it for the time being and will be looking forward to having support for business manager objects in the SDK.

Cheers!

Quick note for anyone who stumbles upon this issue. The example uses '/<BUSINESS_ID>/adaccounts', but the path should really be '/<BUSINESS_ID>/adaccount' (no 's').

If you search the facebook docs (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/reference/ad-account) you will find two sets of documentation:
/{business_id}/adaccounts
and
/{business_id}/adaccount
adaccounts probably adds an existing ad account to a business manager, since one of the required parameters is adaccount_id which a non-existing ad account would not have. Unless I am missing something obvious.

It is possible to create the user uses AdAccount?

My code:

$fieldsRequired = [
    'name' => 'My Ad Account',
    'currency' => 'USD',
    'timezone_id' => 7,
];
$accounts = $fb->post('/me/adaccounts', $fieldsRequired);

(#275) Cannot determine the target object for this request. Currently supported objects include ad account, business account and associated objects.

Where am I going wrong? It is obligatory to have the BUSINESS_ID instead of /me?

@alexkappa Solve this problem of creating Account?

[ianberdin]

@newerton Did you solve this? I can't create with my business id too...

[newerton]

@happierall Without solution. In my case, I direct the client to Facebook Ads, automatically creates the account for the user.

My project is stopped. I was using version 2.6. Today it is in version 2.9, and did not solve this problem.

In the documentation, it would have to work.

[ianberdin]

I found solution. You need application with Standart Access. Not basic, not development

The code below should be implemented. Using the user session.

$fieldsRequired = [
    'name' => 'My Ad Account',
    'currency' => 'USD',
    'timezone_id' => 7,
];
$accounts = $fb->post('/me/adaccounts', $fieldsRequired);
