fbad_get_search: using type='adTargetingCategory' to get ID for 'behaviors' about fbrads HOT 3 CLOSED

Update: It looks like there was hard return \n in some parts of the json file returned from the fbad_get_search query which was causing the fromJSON function to fail.

To correct it, I ran the fbad_request manually, removed the \n from the file and then called fromJSON. That seems to have corrected the issue. Is there are more native way to handle that type of issue from with fbRads?

Thanks,

Thanks for reporting this issue. IMO it's a Facebook API bug (returning invalid JSON), can you please open a report and follow-up on that at https://developers.facebook.com/bugs ?

Until it's resolved at FB, you can use this ugly workaround in the https://github.com/cardcorp/fbRads/tree/quickfix-23 branch:

devtools::install_github('cardcorp/fbRads@quickfix-23')

Hopefully, it will be soon fixed by the FB developers and this ugly hack won't be needed in the fbRads package. Closing for now, but please reopen with an FB ticket number if it has to be fixed here.
