fbad_init Error: (#3) Application does not have the capability to make this API call

[alTagg3r]

Hello! Thanks to the contributors of this package! Looking forward to getting up and running. Early on I'm experiencing an minor issue with extracting the access code from tkn, but attempted a manual workaround for that (tkncopy). Later on, when trying to initiate via fbad_init, I'm getting a length error (included below). In summary, "(#3) Application does not have the capability to make this API call".

Appreciative of all advice - Thanks!

Regarding extracting the token manually, see #61

The error suggests that the app is not set up correctly. Can you please confirm you follow all steps from the readme? Can you also try adding "Marketing API" product?

Thanks @daroczig for the reply! The jsonlite function i working beautifully. I followed all the steps in the readMe, but I didn't set up the MarketingAPI product properly in my fb dev account. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
