Facebook Ads API module?

Posted by greggles on January 24, 2013 at 3:23pm

Hello!

Some colleagues and I are beginning work on a module to create and manage ads via the Facebook Ads API. I understand that the demand for this module might be small (not everyone advertises on facebook, and facebook requires approval before you get access to the API) but I'm hopeful that anyone else interested in this might benefit from building it and maintaining it together.

We're still very early in the process, but are trying to architect it in a way that our site-specific features are abstracted away from whatever we make for Drupal.org.

If you are interested in this, please leave a comment or contact me http://drupal.org/user/36762/contact

Thanks for the wonderful article. For developers who are not yet eligible for access to Ads API what alternative do you suggest ? Power editor is cool but once cannot write code around it.
Has anyone tried simpleapi.launchrock.com ?

Is that endorsed/approved by

Is that endorsed/approved by Facebook? I believe they don't let people do this unless you are Strategic Preferred Marketing Developer which...it doesn't seem like you are.

I agree that they have to be approved at least as a PMD, if not an sPMD but their landing page does not have that information.
I just wanted to know whether getting the API access is really that hard ?
I know getting PMD badge is hard but just access to APIs should be easy right ?
Should I just wait for my approval or is there any value in using the services of someone like simpleAPI ?
What has been other people's experience ?

It seems so

Hi there,

The module is up and running for us and we'd be interested in collaborators who have access to the FB Ad API and are experienced developers. We can't currently prioritize the time in making it contributable on d.o, but probably will in a year or two.

If you are approved by Facebook to use their Ad api AND you have development resources to put toward the module please just contact me directly with a link to your code on drupal.org or github.

I am digging up an old post, but I am just starting to do a lot of development work with Facebook Advertising with some of the new powerful options they are offering merchants.
