I am using the Facebook Ads API to try to filter out specific action target ids using the follwowing call:
(account-id)/reportstats?date_preset=yesterday&data_columns=["action_target_name","adgroup_id","adgroup_name","spend","actions","adgroup_objective"]&actions_group_by=["action_target_id", "action_destination"]&filters=[{"field": "action_target_id","type": "contains","value": 'insert id'}]
Every time I try to put in a specific ID, I get an empty data set back. Whenever I change the type to "not_contains", I get every piece of data returned. I've also tried the same with action_destination, but it keeps saying value needs to be numeric even though it a string.
It definitely seems like you can filter by action_target_id because when I tried to filter by something random, it told me that filter doesn't exist.
Can anyone help me please?
Unfortunately these values are nested under the
actionsfields of the results and filters only work on top level field values.
