ads API v8.0 #26

Open gustavwinberg opened 3 years ago

Facebook updated their ads API to v8.0 in August of this year. Have you managed to make pySocialWatcher run with these changes? Changing the 3 constants as you mentioned in the readme unfortunately didn't do the trick.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm not working with PySocialWatcher at moment besides accepting pull requests. Thus, I'm wondering if someone could help me with the update given Facebook's constant API update.

Hi folks,

@Gustav-Win, I have recently made some improvements that you might be interested in. Please have a look at my latest commits at https://github.com/joaopalotti/pySocialWatcher. @maraujo, I will eventually create a PR when I get some time to document it. But, in summary, I added a few new functions to create a json file for collection and updated it to Python 3. @Gustav-Win, you can test if my repo solves your issue. A standard collection can be done with a code like this:

from pysocialwatcher import watcherAPI

# Note that parameters from constants.py are required to be set when instanciating a new watcherAPI object:
watcher = watcherAPI(api_version="8.0", sleep_time=3, save_every_x=3000, outputname="my_collection_output.csv.gz")

watcher.load_credentials_file("my_credentials.csv")
watcher.run_data_collection("my_collection.json", remove_tmp_files=True)

Cheers,

Joao
