adset.remote_create() error

[andongya95]

I am trying to get acquainted with the facebook ads sdk by following the steps in this link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/buying-api#ad-creative But I got stuck at this step when creating a AdSet:

import datetime
from facebookads.adobjects.adset import AdSet

today = datetime.date.today()
start_time = str(today + datetime.timedelta(weeks=1))
end_time = str(today + datetime.timedelta(weeks=2))

adset = AdSet(parent_id='act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>')
adset.update({
    AdSet.Field.name: 'My Ad Set',
   AdSet.Field.campaign_id: <CAMPAIGN_ID>,
    AdSet.Field.daily_budget: 1000,
    AdSet.Field.billing_event: AdSet.BillingEvent.impressions,
    AdSet.Field.optimization_goal: AdSet.OptimizationGoal.reach,
    AdSet.Field.bid_amount: 2,
    AdSet.Field.targeting: <TARGETING>,
    AdSet.Field.start_time: start_time,
    AdSet.Field.end_time: end_time,
})

adset.remote_create(params={
    'status': AdSet.Status.paused,
})

I am sure I followed every step in that link, but it generates this error:

Try to init your api: from facebook_business import FacebookAdsApi FacebookAdsApi.init(config['app_id'], config['app_secret'], config['access_token'])

[andongya95]

I promise I did. There are several steps in that link before this one and those codes ran successfully. So it is not about the API config but something wrong with the codes.

1. make sure you download the latest facebook_business
2. Make sure you read config or set your app_id/access_token correctly.
