Some notes on using the FB Marketing Insights API to build a dashboard similar to Facebook Ads Manager Reporting --

The API docs appear very thorough, but are missing an exhaustive list of fields that you'd need to build a generic reporting tool. In my first attempt, I pulled all fields from these docs, but found a lot of discrepencies when compared to FB's UI.

It's more productive to scrape the visible options from FB's own UI, which can be done like this:

Visit Facebook Ads Manager Reporting and open the report builder
Select the Breakdowns tab
Use this nasty JS snippet in the dev console
