Installation

pip install facebook-ads-reports

Quick Start

1. Set up credentials

Option A: Configuration file

Create a secrets/fb_business_config.json file with your Facebook Ads API credentials:

{
  "app_id": "YOUR_APP_ID",
  "app_secret": "YOUR_APP_SECRET",
  "access_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN",
  "ad_account_id": "act_1234567890",
  "base_url": "https://graph.facebook.com/v23.0"
}

Option B: Environment variable

Set the FACEBOOK_ADS_CONFIG_JSON environment variable with your credentials as JSON:

export FACEBOOK_ADS_CONFIG_JSON='{"app_id": "YOUR_APP_ID", "app_secret": "YOUR_APP_SECRET", "access_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN", "ad_account_id": "act_1234567890", "base_url": "https://graph.facebook.com/v23.0"}'

2. Basic usage

from datetime import date, timedelta
from facebook_ads_reports import MetaAdsReport, MetaAdsReportModel, load_credentials

# Load credentials
credentials = load_credentials()
client = MetaAdsReport(credentials_dict=credentials)

# Configure report parameters
ad_account_id = "act_1234567890"
start_date = date.today() - timedelta(days=7)
end_date = date.today() - timedelta(days=1)

# Extract report data with database optimization
df = client.get_insights_report(
        ad_account_id=ad_account_id,
        report_model=MetaAdsReportModel.ad_performance_report,
        start_date=start_date,
        end_date=end_date
)

# Save to CSV
df.to_csv("ad_performance_report.csv", index=False)

Available Report Models

• MetaAdsReportModel.ad_dimensions_report - Ad dimensions and metadata
• MetaAdsReportModel.ad_performance_report - Ad performance and actions metrics

Custom Reports

Create custom report configurations:

from facebook_ads_reports import create_custom_report

custom_report = create_custom_report(
    report_name="my_custom_report",
    select=["ad_id", "impressions", "spend"],
    from_table="ad_insights"
)

# Usage:
# df = client.get_insights_report(ad_account_id, custom_report, start_date, end_date)

Database Optimization Features

• Automatic Date Conversion: String dates → datetime64[ns]
• Dynamic Metrics Conversion: Object metrics → int64 or float64 based on data
• Preserve NULL Compatibility: NaN/NaT preserved for database NULL mapping
• Safe Conversion: Invalid values gracefully ignored
• ASCII Sanitization: Removes non-ASCII characters for database compatibility
• Length Limiting: Truncates text to 255 characters (configurable)
• Whitespace Trimming: Removes leading/trailing whitespace
