Incorrect ad_set targeting while creating Ad for PAGE_LIKES objectives

Question

Using marketing API, i'm creating Ad to promote page with campaign objective: "PAGE_LIKES". Campaign is successfully creating but when it's goes for AD_SET creation, show this error:

"Incorrect Targeting for Ad Set"

i'm using this target object.

targeting: {
                    age_min: 18,
                    geo_locations: geo_locations,
                    locales: [6],
                    genders: gender_list,
                    interests: interests_list
                }

this object is working fine with objectives (REACH, IMPRESSION)etc, So suggest me any solution

If the campaign is for Page Likes, the targeting of the Ad Sets needs to exclude current fans of your page, via the excluded_connections parameter (specifying the page ID of the page you're promoting)

Try this:

targeting: {
                    age_min: 18,
                    geo_locations: geo_locations,
                    locales: [6],
                    genders: gender_list,
                    interests: interests_list,
                    excluded_connections: [{'id': <PAGE ID HERE>}]
                }
