I POST an API request to generate Ad Report for an account using the endpoint

https://graph.facebook.com/v13.0/act_accountid/insights?time_range={'since':'2022-04-14','until':'2022-04-14'}&use_account_attribution_setting=true&use_unified_attribution_setting=true&time_increment=1&level=ad&fields=auction_bid,auction_competitiveness,body_asset,catalog_segment_actions,description_asset,device_platform,image_asset,impression_device,media_asset,title_asset,video_asset,activity_recency,ad_impression_actions,attribution_setting,adset_id,adset_name,impressions,clicks,spend,ad_id,ad_name,buying_type,reach,unique_clicks,frequency,video_play_actions,objective

But the request is getting failed and showing a response like "{\"error\":{\"message\":\"(#100) body_asset, description_asset, device_platform, image_asset, impression_device, media_asset, title_asset, video_asset, activity_recency are not valid for fields param. please check https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/marketing-api\/reference\/ads-insights\/ for all valid values\",\"type\":\"OAuthException\",\"code\":100,\"fbtrace_id\":\"AA1wnw3gU0iqCpMZrpTCAII\"}}"

Anyone guide me how to get body_asset,description_asset, device_platform, image_asset, impression_device, media_asset, title_asset, video_asset?

Adding details: To create an Ad Report, I POST a request in the following format.

"https://graph.facebook.com/v14.0/act_############/insights?time_range={'since':'2022-05-14','until':'2022-05-14'}&time_increment=1&level=ad&fields=account_name,account_id,campaign_id,campaign_name,adset_id,adset_name,impressions,clicks,spend,ad_id,ad_name,buying_type,reach,unique_clicks,frequency,actions,video_30_sec_watched_actions,video_avg_time_watched_actions,video_p100_watched_actions,video_p25_watched_actions,video_p50_watched_actions,video_p75_watched_actions,video_p95_watched_actions,conversions,video_play_actions,objective,unique_video_continuous_2_sec_watched_actions,video_continuous_2_sec_watched_actions,cost_per_conversion,wish_bid&access_token=*********************************************"

The response from this POST request gives me an Ad Report ID

Then, I use the Ad Report ID and get the required metrics from the response.

But, I can't able to get data for Bid Type, Media Type, and Delivery

Ad Report FB - DeliveryAd Report FB - Media TypeAd Report FB - Bid

Thanks,

  • These are _breakdowns_, not fields. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/insights/breakdowns – CBroe Jul 27 '22 at 07:56
  • But in API reference they mentioned this values in fields [link](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/reference/adgroup/insights/) – John Vianny Jul 27 '22 at 08:43
  • Then you should probably file a bug report and ask Facebook for clarification. – CBroe Jul 27 '22 at 08:54
  • Is there a way to pull media asset type? – John Vianny Jul 27 '22 at 12:04
  • @cbroe As you said they are breakdowns. Then how can we include them in the report. – John Vianny Jul 28 '22 at 09:45
  • Breakdowns are not data to include, they specify what you want the data grouped by. You would pass them via the `breakdowns` parameter. – CBroe Jul 28 '22 at 10:08
  • But while we give the breakdowns in Facebook Reporting, it fetches the data related to that breakdown value. Like, if I select delivery as a breakdown. The report downloaded from that has delivery status column. – John Vianny Jul 28 '22 at 10:13

You should pass ACT_{ID_ACCOUNT} not act_accountid. Should be replaced with the account id i guess.

  • I need to fetch the following columns from Facebook using API [Bid Type, Media Type, Delivery]. I can able to get Account ID, Account Name, Campaign Name, Campaign ID, Ad Set Name, Ad Set ID, Ad Name, Ad ID, Clicks, Impressions, Spend, Thruplay, Video Average Playtime, Video Play at 25%, 50%, 75%, 95%, and 100%. But, I can't able to get data for **Bid Type, Media Type and Delivery** – John Vianny Jul 28 '22 at 09:29
