fb_list_ad returning one column as an Object

[laziob]

When running this:
fbad_list_ad(statuses = "ACTIVE", fields = c("campaign_id", "adset_id", "name", "creative"))

for some reason it returns a 5 column dataframe (instead of 4, one for each field) and the one with te creative Ids is an object

That fifth column, I dont know what those Ids are for and why are they there.

Any ideas on to how to solve this or why is happening? Thanks!

The Ad ids are always returned, that's the 5th column

Forget about that tabular view in RStudio, check the str of the object -- you'll see that it's a list. Also try the simplify=FALSE argument of the function, depending on the fields you are querying, you may have to do some post-processing on what FB returns, it's not always a nice data.frame, but eg nested lists or data frames.

I hope this helps, reopen or you'd need more help regarding the pkg functionality
