The message is pretty self-explanatory, except that I'm not sure what "type" this creative is, since there is no "type" parameter, or "objective" parameter, or something like that. What does the phrase "this creative type" refer to? Perhaps it is implicitly determined by the subset of parameters I provide?

Here is my call:

ENDPOINT is /act_<account_id>/adcreatives

parameters: {
    object_store_url: "https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id284882215"
    image_hash: <image_hash>
    actor_image_hash: <another_image_hash>
    name: "install_c"
    body: "installing is good"
    call_to_action_type: "LISTEN_MUSIC"
    actor_name: "attributionator"
}

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/ads-api/adcreative#create does not say anything about this type being unsupported (I'm following the "Mobile app install" row). Thanks in advance for the help!

  • These look like the old parameters from before the July 2 migration: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/ads-api/mobile-app-ads#migration – Igy Jul 24 '14 at 00:13

This is the old way of creating these ads, which was deprecated on July 2nd. You'll have to create them as page posts now - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/ads-api/mobile-app-ads#create

  • You should share more of the relevant changes in the new way of creating the ads in the post to help other users finding this question later (also in-case the link changes or becomes broken) – JRulle Jul 28 '14 at 20:52

My guess is that it doesn't like LISTEN_MUSIC as the call_to_action_type. Try using USE_APP instead and see if it makes a difference.
