# Some Meta API test

Some notes about Meta api test.  

## Get an access token

```

CLIENT_ID=XX

CLIENT_SECRET=YY

curl -X GET "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=$CLIENT_ID&client_secret=$CLIENT_SECRET&grant_type=client_credentials"

```

JSON Response.  

```

{"access_token":"your-client-id|some-token","token_type":"bearer"}

```

TOKEN=your-client-id|some-token

```

curl -G -d "search_terms='cordoba'" \

    -d "ad_type=POLITICAL_AND_ISSUE_ADS" \

    -d "ad_reached_countries=['AR']" \

    -d "access_token=$TOKEN" \

    "https://graph.facebook.com/v17.0/ads_archive"

```

If your facebook app is not ready, you will get an error like this:

```

{

    "error":{

        "message":"Application does not have permission for this action",

        "type":"OAuthException",

        "code":10,

        "error_subcode":2332004,

        "is_transient":false,

        "error_user_title":"App role required",

        "error_user_msg":

            "You need to be assigned a role by the app owner to continue.

            Learn more at

            https://developers.facebook.com/docs/development/build-and-test/app-roles",

        "fbtrace_id":"xxxx"

    }

}

```

To fix this you need to add the `ads_read` permission to your app.
