cant manage to create ad via ad api - invalid parmeters??

Hello everyone , hope this question is relevant here , ive just started using the ads api (with the php sdk) , i went through the "getting started" tutorial for creating an ad , everything goes smooth until the ad creation itself ,

$adgroup = new AdGroup(null, 'act_*********');
adgroup->create(array(
AdGroupFields::CREATIVE =>
array('creative_id' => $creative->id),
AdGroupFields::NAME => 'My First AdGroup',
AdGroupFields::CAMPAIGN_ID => ******,
));

at this point i get a response in the form of Uncaught exception 'FacebookAds\Http\Exception\AuthorizationException' with message 'Invalid parameter'

ive searched and searched for why this might be happening , but nothing comes up ... any thoughts ?
thanks in advance
david

 

Finally found a solution!

The Ad Group Status is now a required field. The exception handling errors at the graph API is way better than the SDK which is rather cryptic and leads of hours of wastage of time.

By adding:

AdGroupFields::ADGROUP_STATUS => 'ACTIVE'

while creating the ad group, the operation was successful. You can of course replace ACTIVE with any of the other states such as PAUSED etc.

 

I have same problem when I create ad!
With Facebook Ad Api, I can't create ad(group) although I have created the Campaign, AdSet, and AdCreative successfully.
And I added the parameter, 'status', to my code according to yours, but I have same result. What's wrong???

------------ PHP Codes ------------------

useFacebookAds\Object\AdGroup;useFacebookAds\Object\Fields\AdGroupFields;

$adgroup =newAdGroup(null, $account->id);
$adgroup->setData(array(
AdGroupFields::CREATIVE => array('creative_id'=> $creative->id),
AdGroupFields::NAME =>'My First AdGroup',
AdGroupFields::CAMPAIGN_ID => $adset->id,
AdGroupFields::ADGROUP_STATUS =>'ACTIVE',
));

$adgroup->create();

I need your advice. please.
