I want to create an ad based on an existing Instagram-Video post. Therefore I already uploaded the video to the /advideos endpoint. However, now I'm stuck with creating the adcreative. The documentation doesn't give information on how to add the ID of the uploaded video as a parameter to the /adcreative call.
Any suggestions?
This is what my code looks like:
FB.api(
'/act_2757146414569266/adcreatives',
'POST',
{"object_id":"<PAGE_ID>","instagram_user_id":"<IG USER ID>","source_instagram_media_id":"<SRC_MEDIA_ID>","video_data":"{"video_id": "<UPLOADED VIDEO ID>"}"},
function(response) {
...
}
);This is what I get back:
{

}
}
