I cannot find problem with my code.

from __future__ import absolute_import, division, print_function
from facebookads.api import FacebookAdsApi
from facebookads import objects
from pprint import pprint

FacebookAdsApi.init(app_id, app_secret,
                    access_token)

i try filter campaigns by part campaign_name (its postfix in real), but returns all campaigns of account. Where is my mistake?

The sample code not working

from facebookads.objects import AdCampaign

campaign = AdCampaign('<AD_CAMPAIGN_ID>')

params = {

    'date_preset': AdCampaign.Preset.last_7_days,

}

insights = campaign.get_insights(params=params)

print insights

When I create an AdUser with a specific api instance and then call get_ad_account on that instance the api instance does not flow to the created AdAccount.

Here is a test case that reproduces this issue:

    app_id = config['app_id']
    app_secret = config['app_secret']
    access_token = config['access_token']
    def test_get_ad_account_from_ad_user():
        assert FacebookAdsApi.get_default_api() == None # Ensure the default api is not set
        session = FacebookSession(
            app_id,
            app_secret,
            connection.access_token,
        )
        api = FacebookAdsApi(session)
        me = AdUser(fbid='me', api=api)
        ad_account = me.get_ad_account()
        assert ad_account.get_api() == api

see those lines https://github.com/facebook/facebook-python-ads-sdk/blob/master/facebookads/objects.py#L146-L147. We expected it to be set every time, and we used the total() method that returns None, which is really bad because it silently tells that there is no stats. Instead:

• could we make sure we retrieve the total_count in every situation?
• if not possible, can we raise an Exception so that we do not fail silently?

I can come up with a PR if you want

(Sorry if I'm not clear as I can be, I'm recovering from a surgery atm)

If I want to return any fields more than just id, I have to enter fields by hand, this is a bit cumbersome:

# note I already have the API session object inside (as in the README.md example)

def fetch_ad_sets(fbid):
     # I have :class:`facebookads.objects.AdCampaign` here
    campaign = fb_objects.AdCampaign(fbid=fbid)
    campaign = campaign.remote_read(
        params={"id": fbid},
        # Get all the keys inside of a class, useful.
        # fields=[attr for attr in dir(fb_objects.AdCampaign.Field) if not callable(getattr(fb_objects.AdCampaign.Field, attr)) and not attr.startswith("__")]
        fields=[
            fb_objects.AdCampaign.Field.buying_type,
            fb_objects.AdCampaign.Field.name,
            fb_objects.AdCampaign.Field.objective,
            fb_objects.AdCampaign.Field.status,
        ]
    )

    ad_sets = campaign.get_ad_sets(
        # only returns ID's
        # fields=facebookads.objects.AdSet.get_default_read_fields()
        # returns everything I specify, but it's manual
        fields=[
            fb_objects.AdSet.Field.bid_info,
            fb_objects.AdSet.Field.bid_type,
            fb_objects.AdSet.Field.budget_remaining,
            fb_objects.AdSet.Field.campaign_group_id,
            fb_objects.AdSet.Field.created_time,
            fb_objects.AdSet.Field.daily_budget,
            fb_objects.AdSet.Field.end_time,
            fb_objects.AdSet.Field.lifetime_budget,
            fb_objects.AdSet.Field.name,
            fb_objects.AdSet.Field.start_time,
            fb_objects.AdSet.Field.status,
            fb_objects.AdSet.Field.targeting,
            fb_objects.AdSet.Field.updated_time,
        ]
    )
    for ad_set in ad_sets:
        print('FbCampaign %s Ad Set: %s' % (campaign, ad_set))
        # this would retrieve everything,
        # but everything else, including no ``field`` param returns just ``'id'`` for me.
        for ad_group in ad_set.get_ad_groups(fields=facebookads.objects.AdGroup.get_default_read_fields()):
            print('FbCampaign %s Ad Set %s Ad Group: %s' % (campaign, ad_set, ad_group))

I have tried various things to try to get the fields param to work when doing remote_read and padding directly into a object class, however, the only way fields work now is if I do it explicitly.

Here are other things I've tried:

fields=[attr for attr in dir(fb_objects.AdCampaign.Field) if not callable(getattr(fb_objects.AdCampaign.Field, attr)) and not attr.startswith("__")]

fields=facebookads.objects.AdSet.get_default_read_fields()

# not entering fields param at all

All return just the 'id'.

according to official announcement.

I have one question that really confused me about statistics.

When I try to fetch stats in [start_time, end_time] recently, like below:

account = AdAccount("act_<ACT_ID>")
params = {
    'adgroup_ids' : <JSON ID STR>,
    'start_time' : <UNIX_TIME>,                 # 20150319:10:00, here is 1426730400
    'end_time' : <UNIX_TIME>,                  # 20150319:11:00, here is 1426734000
}
adgroup_stats_list = account.get_ad_group_stats(params=params)

for adgroup_stats in adgroup_list:
     print adgroup_stats['adgroup_id']
     print adgroup_stats['clicks']
     print adgroup_stats['impressions']
     print adgroup_stats['actions']['mobile_app_install']

it returns stats not in [10:00, 11:00] , but [0:00, current_time], it seems start_time and end_time not useful in hour level, however, when I used the API one month ago, it returns clicks and impressions in [10:00, 11:00], it seems sth changed, and I'm not sure the standard behavior for this API call.

Could anyone answer my question? thanks a lot

Today we encountered a business-critic issue related to our use of this SDK (see #49).

We're thinking of implementing scripts that would test that this SDK works as expected. Also, I was wondering if you have integration tests. I'm willing to contribute to those if needed. Just say the words :)

I am not sure if batching will help with my problem, but I need to start from the beginning of a Campaign and process all Ad Group Stats per day. After processing 1-2 months I hit the rate limit. I would like to try batching to see if that would help with this issue.

There isn't an example of batching and using remote_read().

I know what I need to do: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/ads-api/batch-requests/#adstatistics

It doesn't look like this was implemented until v2.4, but it is deprecated in v2.4 on the server-side. It exists in the documentation for v2.3, but it's not in any of the code as far as I can tell (please let me know if it is). It is in the docs for v2.4 too, but the calls are deprecated on the server side and fail! FML.

It looks like a backport would need at least AdAccount.iterage_edge_async and objects.AsyncJob.
Is there a chance we can get this backported to v2.3? I can help. Are there any huge gotchas that make such a backport difficult?

Sucks that it's in the docs, but doesn't work anywhere. Seems like v2.3 is the best shot at providing a workaround. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Nowhere in the API documentation is mentioned the fact that it is possible to add labels on creatives. So I think you code should be updated and remove the HasAdLabel mixin inheritance from the AdCreative class here. If I'm mistaken, your API doc should be updated...

Got the following error:

in call raise fb_response.error() FacebookRequestError: Message: Call was not successful Method: GET Path: https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/6034071669641/adlabels Params: {'summary': 'true'} Status: 400 Response: { "error": { "message": "(#100) Invalid edge (adlabels) on node type (AdCreative)", "code": 100, "type": "OAuthException", "fbtrace_id": "DElUVn10w2E" } }

In the Insights documentation, the stated return type for the Impressions general field is said to be of type Int:

When I am making a get_insight call on an AdAccount object, however, the Impressions field is returned as a unicode string. Here's an example call:

account = AdAccount(account_id)

params = {
    'fields': [Insights.Field.impressions,],
    'time_range': {
        'since': '2015-05-15',
        'until': '2015-05-15',
    },
}

stats = account.get_insights(params = params)

print stats

What is returned looks like this, and calling type() on the value for "impressions" returns unicode:

[<Insights> {
    "date_start": "2015-05-15",
    "date_stop": "2015-05-15",
    "impressions": "27155"
}]

Am I missing something here, or are impressions just incorrectly being returned as a unicode string?

Is there any chance you think it would be a good idea to make the use of appsecret_proof optional? It fails for me every time I try to create a session with it. Obviously works fine if I remove it.

When calling AdImage().remote_create(batch=batch); batch.execute() the exception ValueError: I/O operation on closed file is raised.

When using the AdImage().remote_create() I found that this worked as intended and the AdImage object was returned with an 'id' and 'hash', but when attempting to do this while using a batch I ran into the I/O exception.

When looking into a possible fix for this, I tried looking at the AdImage's remote_create function (line number 1366 for me) and noticed that open_file was being closed before the batch could be executed. Commenting out the line that closed the file for the sake of testing made the call complete but an error response {u'error': {u'message': u'File <IMG_PATH> has not been attached', u'type': u'GraphBatchException'}} was returned.

Here is the script I started with:

from facebookads import FacebookSession, FacebookAdsApi
from facebookads.objects import AdAccount, AdImage

APP_ID= "<APP_ID>"
APP_SECRET = "<APP_SECRET>"
ACCESS_TOKEN="<ACCESS_TOKEN"
IMG_PATH= "<IMG PATH>"

session = FacebookSession(APP_ID, APP_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN)
api = FacebookAdsApi(session)
FacebookAdsApi.set_default_api(api)
account = AdAccount.get_my_account()

img = AdImage(parent_id=account.get_id_assured())
img[AdImage.Field.filename] = IMG_PATH

batch = account.get_api_assured().new_batch()

img.remote_create(batch=batch)

batch.execute()

Here is the stack trace that was outputted:

ValueError: I/O operation on closed file

Here is a test for integration.py that should do the same thing as the script:

class AdImageBatchTestCase(FacebookAdsTestCase):

    def setup_ad_image(self):
        img = objects.AdImage(
            parent_id=self.TEST_ACCOUNT.get_id_assured(),
        )
        self.delete_in_teardown(img)
        img[objects.AdImage.Field.filename] = self.TEST_IMAGE_PATH
        return img

    def test_batch_create_ad_image(self):
        img = self.create_ad_image()
        batch = FacebookAdsTestCase.TEST_API.new_batch()
        img.remote_create(batch=batch)
        batch.execute()
        self.assertNotEquals(img['id'], None)

Assume s,t are AdGroup objects with valid id's already set and that b is a FacebookAdsApiBatch object.

Without using batch:

s.remote_read(fields=[AdGroup.Field.name, AdGroup.Field.campaign_id])
t.remote_read(fields=[AdGroup.Field.name, AdGroup.Field.campaign_id])

both s,t now contains the fields name and campaign_id, however if the call is made in this way instead:

s.remote_read(fields=[AdGroup.Field.name, AdGroup.Field.campaign_id], batch=b)
t.remote_read(fields=[AdGroup.Field.name, AdGroup.Field.campaign_id], batch=b)
b.execute()

The name and campaign_id fields are not set, the response bodies from the server only has the 'id' value set.

I think is necessary to add facebook.utils in setup.py to PACKAGES

PACKAGES = ['facebookads', 'facebookads.test', 'facebookads.utils']

filename is definitely a string containing path and name. But sometimes it would be useful passing just a file-like object because we have the file only in memory. We could modify the methods to process also file object but the parameter's name is still filename. So it could be misleading.
Any suggestion?

Detailed here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/optimization_simplification

My question is, when is thew SDK going to begin supporting the new optimization fields, and is there any plan to support both types of optimization during the transition?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am currently using version 2.4

I found that I am not able to set bid_type for the ad set that I create. There is no bid_type member available in the AdSet object. I would like to set the bid_type to CPC. The ad set that I create defaults to CPA.

How to work this issue ? Any idea how to set bid_type of the ad set to CPC

Thanks

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for making this, but I meet one error when do batch remote_create of campaign/adset/ads and I am not sure whether it's a mistake.

My code like:

api_batch = api.new_batch()

 // def callback function

campaign.update({
    AdCampaign.Field.name: 'Seattle Ad Campaign',
    AdCampaign.Field.objective: AdCampaign.Objective.website_clicks,
    AdCampaign.Field.status: AdCampaign.Status.paused,
})

campaign.remote_create(batch=api_batch,success=callback_success,failure=callback_failure)

api.execute()

And it raises error like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "create_ad.py", line 164, in <module>
   campaign.remote_create(batch=api_batch,success=callback_success,failure=callback_failure)
  File "/home/chutong/fb_api_test/facebookads/objects.py", line 529, in remote_create
    failure=callback_failure,
  File "/home/chutong/fb_api_test/facebookads/api.py", line 373, in add
    keyvals.append("%s=%s" % (key, urllib.parse.quote(params[key])))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 1225, in quote
    raise TypeError('None object cannot be quoted')
  TypeError: None object cannot be quoted

The reason is in

    for key in params:
            keyvals.append("%s=%s" % (key, urllib.parse.quote(params[key])))

params contains key='id' which has value None, it couldn't be treated as string here.

Should a judgement for value added here or do I make a wrong usage of batch remote create here?

Thanks for your help.

Currently you are unable to upload pre-hashed SHA-256 hashes since the add_user function does the hashing automatically. There should be an option or logic implemented to upload emails that are already hashed

Hello.
I try to get estiamation by this documentation https://www.facebookmarketingdevelopers.com/docs/python but i don't receive cpa_curve_data field.
What do I wrong?

When adding a remote_create call to a batch an error occurs where the None value for id cannot be properly quoted by urllib.parse.quote. At this point in the add call the params should already be valid JSON thanks to _top_level_param_json_encode. Unfortunately, this function only attempts to apply json.dumps to a value if it is an instance of collections.Mapping, collections.Sequence, or bool and is not an instance of six.string_types. None evades this conditional and is left unmodified in the parameters leaving it to fail when it is passed later as a parameter.

from facebookads import FacebookAdsApi
from facebookads.objects import CustomAudience

my_app_id = <APP_ID>
my_app_secret = '<APP_SECRET>'
my_access_token = '<ACCESS_TOKEN>'
FacebookAdsApi.init(my_app_id, my_app_secret, my_access_token)

AD_ACCOUNT_ID = 1431453467646932

audience = CustomAudience(parent_id='{}'.format(AD_ACCOUNT_ID))
audience.update({
    CustomAudience.Field.name: 'someName',
    CustomAudience.Field.subtype: CustomAudience.Subtype.custom,
})

audience.remote_create()

When I ran this code it throws an error. But when I change the value of parent_id to 'act_{}'.format(AD_ACCOUNT_ID)', the code ran without error. Is this by design or a bug?

I would suggest that there is a check for parent_id whether it has prefix 'act_' or not.

    # If load_next_page returns False, raise StopIteration exception
    if not self._queue and not self.load_next_page():
        raise StopIteration()

    return self._queue.pop(0)

Notice the self.load_next_page(). This is cool for scripting, because people have time to wait until the N HTTP requests are over. But I'm using this in production environment in one of our APIs. And infinite loading does not play well with cloudflare timeout. I know this is particular to my setup but I really feel like I might not be the only one encountering that problem. I manage to circumvent this by overriding the iterate_edge methods of my objects and passing a custom EdgeIterator that does not load the next page systematically. Instead, I call manually load_next_page() when needed.

I understand that you cannot change your code API only for one user, but would you consider adding a parameter (for instance infinite_loading) True by default (or False if you really like the spirit!) that would control this behaviour?

If you're interested, I can provide a PR quickly, with a proof of concept :)

Cheers

Hi there,

We encountered encoding issues when trying to send Swedish or French text. We might want to adapt the following code:

        if params:
            params = _top_level_param_json_encode(params)
            keyvals = ['%s=%s' % (key, urllib.parse.quote(value))
                       for key, value in params.items()]
            call['body'] = '&'.join(keyvals)

At first, we thought (as always with encoding) that we should do it ourselves before handing data to the Api, but the issue is that when reading data, the api will return unicode object instead of basestring object, hence it makes it difficult to handle every situation. For instance:

data = {...}
data = {key: value.encode("utf-8") for key, value in data.iteritems()}
creative = AdCreative().remote_create(params=data)  # this one will work
creative.remote_read(fields=["name", ...])  # let's say the name contains utf-8
adgroup_name = "Adgroup for " + creative["name"]  # here we have utf-8
adgroup_data = {"name": "adgroup_name", ...}
adgroup = AdGroup().remote_create(params=adgroup_data)  # this call will fail

The exception will be KeyError: u'\xe9' when calling the urllib.parse.quote method.

The fix is fairly easy and easily testable, let me know if you're interested in a PR, I can provide it quickly

In examples/custom_audience_utils.py line 103
r = audience.add_users(schema, data)
The function add_users() requires an app_id parameter as implemented in facebookads/objects.py.

I just changed the version in api.py to:
API_VERSION = 'v2.4'

I got an "Undefined class constant 'RETENTION_SECONDS'" error using the following code:
$audience = new ProductAudience(null, 'act_<ACCOUNT_ID>');
$audience->setData(array(
ProductAudienceFields::NAME => 'Product Audience',
ProductAudienceFields::PRODUCT_SET_ID => '<PRODUCT_SET_ID>',
ProductAudienceFields::PIXEL_ID => '<PIXEL_ID>',
ProductAudienceFields::INCLUSIONS => array(array(
ProductAudienceFields::RETENTION_SECONDS => 1296000,
ProductAudienceFields::RULE => array(
'event'=>array('eq'=>'ViewContent')
)
))
));
$audience->save();

I managed to fix it by adding the following constants to the ProductAudienceFields abstract class of ProductAudienceFields.php file in FacebookAds\Object\Fields :
const RETENTION_SECONDS = 'retention_seconds';
const RULE = 'rule';

Should genereate account like this:
my_account = AdAccount('act_' + config['app_act_id'])

Otherwise, it is not working.
Because, according to the link, https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/custom-audience-targeting/v2.3#examples

curl request with parameter: act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>

The URL displayed in the executing command shell is
"https://grap.facebook.com/v2.4/ [id of adaccount]/customaudiences"
while in the actual Graph Explorer on the FB website it is
"https://grap.facebook.com/v2.4/ act_ [id of adaccount]/customaudiences"

I get a "Call was not successful"/ "Unsupported get request" message, Status 400.

I am getting a warning I have never seen before when creating an audience in SDK version 2.3.1, Python version 2.7.9:

InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.

After reading through the link, it appears that this is related to an incompatibility with urllib3 and Python 2.7.

Is there actually a security hole here or is this just an overly-cautious warning?

This hyperlink in the readme is currently broken, and it would be a great resource to have.

According to this https://github.com/facebook/facebook-python-ads-sdk/tree/master/examples/docs , it's possible to generate documentation through a tool called "DocSmith". Unfortunately, the link (https://our.intern.facebook.com/intern/wiki/Solutions_Engineering/Devsite_Dynamic_Doc_Code_Blocks) doesn't seem to point at anything anymore. Would love to see what DocSmith does since googling "Facebook DocSmith" gives me a list of people named "Doc Smith".

Creating a WCA is failing because pixel_id is not listed as a field.

Adding the text:

pixel_id = 'pixel_id'

Under:

class CustomAudience(AbstractCrudObject):

    class Field(object):

fixes this problem

Edit:
Pull Request here: #43

Backtrace:

File ".../facebookads/api.py", line 117, in error
self.body()
File ".../facebookads/exceptions.py", line 99, in __init__
KeyError: 'path'

Looks like the error is located here. The request_context, i.e. error._call has no key "path".

I got this on version 2.3.3 and using a batch query. Looks like this https://github.com/facebook/facebook-python-ads-sdk/blob/2.4.2/facebookads/api.py#L387-L407
is the problem (I don't see a path key)

Hi,

when trying to get reachestimate with an AdAccount object, build_objects_from_response can't build the object from the response.

The problem seems to be that the response includes 'data' as a dict, and not as a list. (like in the reachestimate response of AdGroups)

AdAccount response:
{
"users": 3300,
"bid_estimations": [
{
"unsupported": false,
"location": 3,
"cpa_min": 110,

"cpa_max": 312,
"cpc_min": 31,
"cpc_median": 57,
"cpc_max": 87,
"cpm_min": 32,
"cpm_median": 92,
"cpm_max": 187
}
],
"estimate_ready": true,
"data": {

"cpm_min": 32,
"cpm_median": 92,
"cpm_max": 187
}
],
"estimate_ready": true
}
}

AdGroup response:

{
"data": [
{
"users": 160000,
"bid_estimations": [
{
"unsupported": false,
"location": 3,
"cpa_min": 114,

}
],
"estimate_ready": true
}
]
}

There is currently no straightforward way to fetch Ad Report Stats through asynchronous queries. get_report_stats in AdAccount only allows direct GET requests. And most historical data is not accessible through it, returning error 1487535. Will this be implemented in the future?

I'm trying to create several creatives using [page post inline|]. Here is how I create the creative:

def create_creative(batch, ...):
    params[AdCreative.Field.object_story_spec] = {
            "page_id": page_id,
            "link_data": {
                "message": "<name>",
                "name": "<name>",
                "picture": "<picture-url>",
                "description": "<description>",
                "link": "<post-link>"
            }
        }
    creative = AdCreative()
    creative.remote_create(params=params, batch=batch)
    return creative

And then I do the following:

batch = api.new_batch()
creative1 = create_creative(batch, **data)
creative2 = create_creative(batch, **data)
creative3 = create_creative(batch, **data)
creative4 = create_creative(batch, **data)
creative5 = create_creative(batch, **data)
batch.execute()

The result is the following:

• 4 creatives are created properly (1, 2, 3 and 5)
• the 4th one got this error:

facebookads.exceptions.FacebookRequestError(u'Call was not successful \nRequest:\n\t{\'body\': \'<the body>', \'method\': \'POST\', \'relative_url\': \'act_104145169778295/adcreatives\'}\nResponse:\n\tHTTP Status: 500\n\tHeaders:[{u\'name\': u\'Access-Control-Allow-Origin\', u\'value\': u\'*\'}, {u\'name\': u\'Vary\', u\'value\': u\'Accept-Encoding\'}, {u\'name\': u\'Pragma\', u\'value\': u\'no-cache\'}, {u\'name\': u\'Cache-Control\', u\'value\': u\'no-store\'}, {u\'name\': u\'Content-Type\', u\'value\': u\'text/javascript; charset=UTF-8\'}, {u\'name\': u\'Facebook-API-Version\', u\'value\': u\'v2.3\'}, {u\'name\': u\'WWW-Authenticate\', u\'value\': u\'OAuth "Facebook Platform" "invalid_request" "Service temporarily unavailable"\'}, {u\'name\': u\'Expires\', u\'value\': u\'Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT\'}]\n\tBody: {"error":{"message":"Service temporarily unavailable","type":"FacebookApiException","is_transient":false,"code":2,"error_subcode":1487172,"error_user_title":"Could not save creative","error_user_msg":"Could not save creative"}}\n')

It's very strange. I'm sure it's not a pb of the SDK itself, but are you aware of any limitation for creative creation?

Thanks
