Fixin Param currency on field reachestimate: This param is not valid","type":"OAuthException","code":100,"fbtrace_id":"HkjupRK9F\/z"}}

I have been trying to get reach estimates for different audiences, but every time I try using the basic function, I have been getting the following error:

ERROR [2018-08-09 14:04:35] URL: https://graph.facebook.com/v3.1/act_319640814/reachestimate ERROR [2018-08-09 14:04:35] Method: GET ERROR [2018-08-09 14:04:35] Params: List of 3 $ currency : chr "USD" $ targeting_spec: 'json' chr "{\"geo_locations\":{\"countries\":[\"US\"]},\"publisher_platforms\":[\"facebook\"],\"flexible_spec\":[{\"interests\":[]}]}" $ optimize_for : chr "NONE" ERROR [2018-08-09 14:04:35] Header: {"x-app-usage":["{\"call_count\":1,\"total_cputime\":0,\"total_time\":0}"],"Strict-Transport-Security":["max-age=15552000; preload"],"x-fb-trace-id":["HkjupRK9F/z"],"x-fb-rev":["4192376"],"Content-Type":["application/json; charset=UTF-8"],"facebook-api-version":["v3.1"],"Cache-Control":["no-store"],"Pragma":["no-cache"],"Access-Control-Allow-Origin":["*"],"Expires":["Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT"],"WWW-Authenticate":["OAuth \"Facebook Platform\" \"invalid_request\" \"(#100) Param currency on field reachestimate: This param is not valid\""],"X-FB-Debug":["QBCO4VxgCKUQ9Hyiyg0r0Po41cf0uGlh5BUoeBCNt1BX6vdyByLPeQaM31p5b1/rWOZZuPoRGXzjZg9KOeNcMg=="],"Date":["Thu, 09 Aug 2018 18:04:35 GMT"],"Connection":["keep-alive"],"Content-Length":["156"],"status":["400"],"statusMessage":["Bad Request"]} ERROR [2018-08-09 14:04:35] Body: {"error":{"message":"(#100) Param currency on field reachestimate: This param is not valid","type":"OAuthException","code":100,"fbtrace_id":"HkjupRK9F\/z"}} Error in fbadrequest(fbacc, path = paste0("act", fbacc$account_id, "/reachestimate"), : (#100) Param currency on field reachestimate: This param is not valid

And here is the standard code I have been trying to run:

fbad_reachestimate(targeting_spec = list( geo_locations = list(countries = 'US'), publisher_platforms = "facebook", flexible_spec = list( list(interests = data.frame( id = NULL, name = NULL )) ) ))$users

Any ideas on what might be the issue? I have just started a new app with a new token, so I am confused as to what might be causing this behavior.

I'm not actively using this API endpoint and it seems 2 params were deprecated in the recent API versions. I've just pushed a fix, pls reinstall and try again.

Seems to be working now. Thank you very much. Awesome package.

Hi @daroczig

I have the same issue. Calling the fbad_reachestimate() function I have the error:

Error in fbadrequest(fbacc, path = paste0("act", fbacc$account_id, "/reachestimate"), : (#100) Param currency on field reachestimate: This param is not valid

Could you advise how to deal with that?

Thank you in advance.

It's difficult to tell without knowing what request you made (eg sharing your actual fbad_reachestimate call), but that reference to currency looks suspicious.

Actually, after a second look, I think you are using a very outdated version of fbRads ... try updating to the most recent one: https://github.com/daroczig/fbRads#development-version
