I want transform this Facebook Graph API request:

act_xyz/ads?fields=insights.date_preset(yesterday){ad_name,adset_name,campaign_name,account_name,account_id,impressions,inline_link_clicks,spend,ad_id},adcreatives{object_story_spec}

to use Facebook Ads PHP SDK. Now I have this code:

$account = new AdAccount('act_xyz');

$fields = array(
    InsightsFields::AD_NAME,
    InsightsFields::ADSET_NAME,
    InsightsFields::CAMPAIGN_NAME,
    InsightsFields::ACCOUNT_NAME,
    InsightsFields::ACCOUNT_ID,
    InsightsFields::IMPRESSIONS,
    InsightsFields::INLINE_LINK_CLICKS,
    InsightsFields::SPEND,
    InsightsFields::AD_ID
);

$params = array(
    'date_preset' => InsightsPresets::YESTERDAY
);

$account->getInsights($fields, $params);

[...]

$fields = array(
    AdCreativeFields::OBJECT_STORY_SPEC
);

$account->getAdCreatives($fields);

I can get all data separately, but I want obtain AdCreatives and Insights for each Ad on my AdAccount like Graph API does. Thanks.

You still can perform Graph API calls to Ads related endpoint if you have the right access token. Using the latest Facebook PHP SDK & Facebook Ads PHP SDK:-

$fb = new Facebook(['app_id' => {APP_ID}, 'app_secret' => {APP_SECRET}]);

$account = new AdAccount('act_xyz');

$data = $fb->get('/' . $account->id . '/ads?fields=insights.date_preset(yesterday){ad_name,adset_name,campaign_name,account_name,account_id,impressions,inline_link_clicks,spend,ad_id},adcreatives{object_story_spec}', $access_token);

I've tested this and it works. I am using Facebook PHP SDK v5.1.2 and Facebook Ads PHP SDK v2.5.1.

Hope this helps! :D

  • I'm actually using Graph calls. My question is how to transform it. Anyway, do you know which are the pros and cons of the two versions? Thank you for your answer. – David Feb 27 '16 at 11:26
