Fetching preview for ad creative returns broken URL

[iamricks]

I am fetching a preview like so:

FacebookAds::AdCreative.get(creativeId, session).previews(ad_format: adFormat)

Every single preview i fetch the URL comes like this:

"https://www.facebook.com/ads/api/preview_iframe.php...........&t=AQK0********XnH5"

Notice how the "t" param has a ";" instead of a "&"

This is causing the links to return "The parameter t is required"

Any updates on this?

I am using the python sdk but I'm hitting the same error with the following code:

fields = [ ] params = { 'ad_format': 'DESKTOP_FEED_STANDARD', } r = AdCreative(id).get_previews( fields=fields, params=params, )

@jnmcdonald Yeah... its never been fixed. I think i just replaced the ; with a & as a tempt fix and it just stayed like that after it not being fixed for over a year, i no longer use that endpoint because the feature was removed. Facebook's API can be a pain.

@iamricks yeah, I did the same thing in my code, it's just frustrating that hasn't been addressed. I'll reach out to a solutions engineer.
