Authentication #
In order for CloudQuery to sync data from Facebook Marketing, you will need a Facebook Marketing access token.
You will need to follow the following steps (if you don't have them set up already):
- Create a business app in the Meta App dashboard. See Facebook's documentation. Make sure to choose the "Business" application type, and to link it to your business account.
- Add the "Marketing API" capability to your application. You should now see a dropdown "Marketing API" menu. In this dropdown, under
Tools
, you will be able to generate your access token. See also Facebook's documentation - You will also need to find your
ad_account_id
, which you can find in the Facebook Ads Manager. (See documentation).
