Hi there,

Really awesome effort and cant thank you enough for putting this project together.

Just before I go crazy developing against this code, is this project still supported?

Many thanks! Garth

@GarthHere Hey, thanks for reaching out! 😄

TL;DR: Not really, I advise against using it for a large scale production-critical project, I'd reccomend using the unofficial C# SDK for Facebook and calling the FacebookClient.get() method like I do here, or using the official Python, Ruby, NodeJS, PHP, Java SDK's instead and wrapping C# code around it.


Full Aswer: While I occasionally update the project when asked to do so (like in this instance), I no longer actively develop the project and advise against using it for large-scale production-critical projects, with the reasons being as follows:

Further more, the project only supports GET requests, meaning you can't do a lot of things you probably would like to do. As (at the time) there wasn't an API playground for the ads SDK, and all calls to place ads, update ads, delete ads would result in charges being billed to your credit card (which, at the time wasn't the most useful thing as I was a broke college student), so it lacks a lot of useful features.

Hope this clears things up 😄
