Watching this 3 years on - thanks so much Simon. This has saved me a lot of money having to outsource this to someone.

Thank you for creating this (and the one about pulling the data into google sheets) both were very clear and helpful! I need to pull in # of purchases and landing page views to my google sheet can you tell me how to do that? Oh, and is there a way to get the most recent data on top?

[rrenpai]

This is actually gold. Now I just need to creat every single freaking request I need and move it to postman for our actual developer

Thanks! I hope you keep doing new tutorials.

Great walkthrough! Thanks a lot. I am trying to do this via python, if you have additional resources that would be super helpful.

First thank you very much for the video.
But when I add adaccount in graph api, it doesn't let me click submit and I click to generate token and I get that I need permissions.
Do I have to request permissions for ads_read and ads_management?
NOTE : I found the mistake, I didn't generate token in the tool's page when you selected ads_read, ads_management, read_insights

[rajeshsah]

Thankyou for sharing it. I wanted to merge facebook ad data with google analytic for firebase data. Can you share some resources for it.

Hi, Simon! Thank you for the video. It's the third time i am here.
I have a problem. I want to get the "Page Name" level but it is not available. only ad, adset, campaign, account levels are available.
Do you know an alternative to get this "Page Name" or "Page ID" since Graph API? Thank you!
