pulling ads information about facebook-nodejs-business-sdk

[zanyaziz]

Try this example below. Note that only the fields you specified in the read fields param are the ones that will be populated in the $account response.

const adsSdk = require('facebook-nodejs-ads-sdk');
const accessToken = '<ACCESS_TOKEN>';
const accountId = 'act_<ACCOUNT_ID>';
const FacebookAdsApi = adsSdk.FacebookAdsApi.init(accessToken);
FacebookAdsApi.setDebug(true);
const AdAccount = require('facebook-nodejs-ads-sdk').AdAccount;
const account = new AdAccount(accountId);

console.log(account.id) // fields can be accessed as properties
account
.read([AdAccount.Fields.name, AdAccount.Fields.age])
.then((account) => {
console.log(account);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('An error occurred');
});

I'm getting this error when I ran the code you provided:

An error occurred: FacebookRequestError: (#100) Tried accessing nonexisting field (age) on node type (Application)

It seems to not work when I add more than one field to the array. I tried with these fields as well:

const adsSdk = require('facebook-nodejs-ads-sdk');
const FacebookAdsApi = adsSdk.FacebookAdsApi.init(accessToken);
FacebookAdsApi.setDebug(true);
const AdAccount = require('facebook-nodejs-ads-sdk').AdAccount;
const account = new AdAccount(accountId);

console.log(account.id) // fields can be accessed as properties
account
.read([AdAccount.Fields.name, AdAccount.Fields.balances])
.then((account) => {
console.log(account: ${account.account_id});
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(An error occurred: ${error});
});

And it gives a different error than the age field:

An error occurred: FacebookRequestError: Syntax error "Expected name." at character 5: name,

Here's how you can do what you're trying to achieve.

const adsSdk = require('facebook-nodejs-ads-sdk');
const accessToken = '<Access_Token>';
const accountId = 'act_<Account_ID>';
const FacebookAdsApi = adsSdk.FacebookAdsApi.init(accessToken);
FacebookAdsApi.setDebug(true);
const AdAccount = require('facebook-nodejs-ads-sdk').AdAccount;
const account = new AdAccount(accountId);

account
.read([AdAccount.Fields.name, AdAccount.Fields.age])
.then((account) => {
console.log(account.name);
console.log(account.age);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('An error occurred');
console.lof(error);
});

account
.read([AdAccount.Fields.age])
.then((account) => {
console.log(account.age);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('An error occurred');
console.log(error);
});

Did that resolve your issue?

This did not resolve my issue. I'm still getting the same errors

I looked into the issue. It seems like this may be an intermittent issue with the APIs and not the SDK. Can you file a bug at https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/
