Facebook Lead Ads

[tokumotion]

Facebook developed a new ad format. It creates leads from fb users, can the package read those leads?

[daroczig]

Yeah, it should be pretty trivial to add support for this based on https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/guides/lead-ads/leads

PR welcome, but I will also try to work on this -- around mid/2nd half of October.

Great! Thank you!

Hi All

@daroczig that is what I was asking you from last week. Facebook Lead Generation...
@tokumotion you can, yes the package can read those leads .. , But it gives a messy list..

[tokumotion]

@prasoonsrivas I got it to work, but the data Facebook serves back is a list of leads.

I got the data into a data.frame by using this code:

leads <- do.call('rbind', lapply(list, data.frame))

That's pretty much it.

Hi Everyone,

Could you share your code to retrieve the leads from Facebook? That would be great, thank you :)

Hi @tokumotion, could you share your code to retrieve lead ads with R? I am really struggling with it, that would be helpful :) Thank you!
