FacebookAds

Overview

The FacebookAds class allows you to interact with parts of the Facebook Business API.

Facebook’s advertising and Pages systems are massive, so check out the overviews to get oriented:

• Facebook Business Overview

• Facebook Custom Audiences

• Facebook Marketing API

Before using FacebookAds, you’ll need to have the following:

• A FB application, specifically the app ID and secret. See https://developers.facebook.com to find your app details or create a new app. (Note that a Facebook app isn’t necessarily visible to anyone but you. It’s just needed to interact with the FB API.)

• A FB ad account. See https://business.facebook.com to find your ad accounts or create one.

• A FB access token representing a user that has access to the relevant ad account. You can generate an access token from your app, either via the Facebook API itself, or via console at https://developers.facebook.com.

In order to instantiate the class, you must pass valid Facebook credentials as kwargs or via the env vars:

• FB_APP_ID

• FB_APP_SECRET

• FB_ACCESS_TOKEN

• FB_AD_ACCOUNT_ID
