Facebook Audience Network connection

The Facebook Audience Network Reporting API lets you automate the downloading of performance data for your business and properties.

Connecting a Facebook user to your business in Business Manager

Make sure you have permission to view properties or businesses that you want to access through the Business Manager on Facebook:

  • Go to your Business Settings & Properties and check the properties you can access.
  • If you are not an admin of your business, ask your business admin to add you to the Properties.

Optional: Creating a system user on Facebook Business Manager

In some cases, creating a system user on Facebook Business Manager may bring data about properties the user does not provide. For example, when the user does not have permission to access properties or businesses managed by a third party or another provider.

To pull the data, you must create a system user in Facebook Business Manager, using Facebook's guide on creating a new system user. Make sure to provide the following permissions scopes in step4:
