How can I check Delivery Status of campaign on Facebook Marketing API

Question

I'm doing a little app on Python about this. I was using the "effective_status" field but it shows just if it's paused or not, and I want to check if the campaign is running or not.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Effective_status gives you the effective status of this campaign. For Campaign object, effective_status value can be one of these

ACTIVE, PAUSED, DELETED, PENDING_REVIEW, DISAPPROVED, PREAPPROVED, PENDING_BILLING_INFO, CAMPAIGN_PAUSED, ARCHIVED, ADSET_PAUSED

If you read the effective_status field for adset level, it will tell you if the adset has CAMPAIGN_PAUSED or PAUSED.

EDIT: You will need to combine this field with end_time to determine whether the ad set is completed.

In fact that status is not the delivery status that you can see from the facebook AdManager. Often the status stay ACTIVE but the delivery status is Not delivering Adset completed. I also didn't find in the API how to get this Delivery status – Antherozoid

The effective_status represent The effective status of the ad set, which can be either its own status or caused by its parent campaign., said by Facebook. You should combine this with the delivery time to determine whether the ad set is delivering. – Superintend

Not working for me too :( Both configured and effective status are "Active" for both Ad and AdSet, however FB online AdManager says that they aren't delivering due to being in review... In the source code I found "PENDING_REVIEW" option of "EffectiveStatus", but it never appears. Why the SDK isn't working?!?!? – Eaglet

Still an issue in 2024... Zuck, get your priorities straight! Nobody wants Meta Quest – Bristle

Answer 2

You can filter ads by ad-recommendation field. That can solve some of the delivery issues notifications and act as a delivery field in addition with effective_status field https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/reference/ad-recommendation/
