AdSets - Issues with targetting settings

[mkmetko]

When trying to set targeting param for new Adset, I get error:

Error in fbadrequest(fbacc, path = paste0("act", fbacc$account_id, "/adsets"), : (#100) param targeting[geo_locations][countries] must be an array.

My code: fbad_create_adset(fbacc = fb_acc_init, name = fb_adset_e_name, optimization_goal= "POST_ENGAGEMENT", campaign_id = post_campaign_id, daily_budget = 5, bid_amount = 1, targeting = list( geo_locations = list(countries = "US") ) )

This works with other calls, like fbad_reachestimate. Does fbad_create_adset need other format? Thanks

Can you try specifying the countries as a list then to be converted into a JSON array?

geo_locations = list(countries = list("US")))

@daroczig already tried this, new error occurs: ERROR [2018-12-05 14:35:19] Body: {"error":{"message":"Invalid parameter","type":"OAuthException","code":100,"error_data":{"blame_field_specs":[["lifetime_budget"]]},"error_subcode":1885272,"is_transient":false,"error_user_title":"Budget Is Too Low","error_user_msg":"The budget for this ad set must be at least \u20ac3.00.

Awesome, then please check that error msg and act accordingly :) FTR both the previous and this error messages are coming from the FB API -- make sure to get familiar with the API endpoints and the related FB docs.
