Get results for specific facebook marketing campaigns objectives

_x000D_ No, I haven't been able to easily replicate the results and cost per result columns from the ad manager with an API call. First you can check the URL when in the ad manager to see which columns are selected by looking at the GET parameter columns: https://business.facebook.com/ads/manage/powereditor/manage/ads?act=...&business_id=..&columns=name%2Cerrors%2Cdelivery%2Cresults%2Creach%2Cimpressions%2Ccost_per_result&... Decoding this gives the following fields: columns=name,errors,delivery,results,reach,impressions,cost_per_result Now it looks like we could simply use the result and cost_per_result fields, but that gives an error: (#100) results, cost_per_result are not valid for fields param. This is expected as the API document doesn't specify results and cost_per_result as valid fields. Now when in the ad manager we can also see the API calls use the network tab of developer tools to see it making API calls to retrieve data. This shows us the result and cost_per_result fields being used. You can actually copy the request URl and see it working... somehow.. Trying to recreate this API call in the Graph API Explorer only worked for me when I copied the access token from the previous call. This makes me feel that the business manager has a special access token.
