Passing Arrays to the FB API
Some API endpoints require you to pass an array, for example the campaigns graph endpoint requires an array for the 'effective_status' parameter. See details here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/reference/ad-account/campaigns
This means that Facebook is expecting an array literally in the url, not an array of CSV strings.
For raw requests (via Graph Explorer) this works:
act_xxx/campaigns?fields=id,name&effective_status=['ACTIVE','PAUSED']&appsecret_proof=xxx
This does not work:
act_xxx/campaigns?fields=id,name&effective_status=active,paused&appsecret_proof=xxx
This produces an error: "(#100) For field 'campaigns': param effective_status must be an array."
This can be passed to Koala by passing that array as a string literal so that the sanitizer will not change it:
@api.get_object('act_XXX', {fields:[:name, :id], effective_status: "[ACTIVE,PAUSED]"})
Hope this is helpful to someone, took me a bit to get through it. When in double check the raw requests agianst the graph explorer: Graph Explorer
