Connecting to Facebook Ads

Once your users have connected their Facebook Ads account, you can use the Paragon SDK to access Facebook Ads on behalf of connected users.

See the Facebook Ads REST API documentation for their full API reference.

Any Facebook Ads API endpoints can be accessed with the Paragon SDK as shown in this example.

JavaScript
// You can find your project ID in the Overview tab of any Integration.

// Authenticate the user
paragon.authenticate(<ProjectID>, <Paragon User Token>);

// Get Campaigns
await paragon.request(‘facebookAds’, 'act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/campaigns', {
  method: 'GET'
})

// Create a Campaign
await paragon.request('facebookAds', 'act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/campaigns' , {
  method: 'POST',
  body: {
    name: "My First Campaign",
    objective: "POST_ENGAGEMENT",
    status: "PAUSED",
    special_ad_categories: []
  }
})
