Facebook-Marketing authentication

This page documents the authentication and configuration options for the Facebook-Marketing agent connector.

Hosted mode (most cases)

In hosted mode, create the connector through the Airbyte Agent CLI or API, then execute operations using the CLI, Python SDK, or API. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the developer quickstart.

OAuth

Use the CLI for hosted OAuth connector creation when possible. It opens the hosted setup flow and avoids passing connector secrets through the command line:

airbyte-agent login
airbyte-agent connectors create --json '{
"workspace": "<your_workspace_name>",
"name": "facebook-marketing"
}'

For API-first use cases, create a connector with OAuth credentials directly.

credentials fields you need:

Field NameTypeRequiredDescription
access_tokenstrYesFacebook OAuth2 Access Token
client_idstrNoFacebook App Client ID
client_secretstrNoFacebook App Client Secret

replication_config fields you need:

Field NameTypeRequiredDescription
account_idsstrYesThe Facebook Ad account ID(s) to pull data from. The Ad account ID number is in the account dropdown menu or in your browser's address bar of your Meta Ads Manager.

Example request:

curl -X POST "https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/integrations/connectors" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"workspace_name": "<WORKSPACE_NAME>",
"connector_type": "Facebook-Marketing",
"name": "My Facebook-Marketing Connector",
"credentials": {
"access_token": "<Facebook OAuth2 Access Token>",
"client_id": "<Facebook App Client ID>",
"client_secret": "<Facebook App Client Secret>"
},
"replication_config": {
"account_ids": "<The Facebook Ad account ID(s) to pull data from. The Ad account ID number is in the account dropdown menu or in your browser's address bar of your Meta Ads Manager.>"
}
}'

Token

Create a connector with Token credentials.

credentials fields you need:

Field NameTypeRequiredDescription
account_keystrYesFacebook long-lived access token for Service Account authentication

replication_config fields you need:

Field NameTypeRequiredDescription
account_idsstrYesThe Facebook Ad account ID(s) to pull data from. The Ad account ID number is in the account dropdown menu or in your browser's address bar of your Meta Ads Manager.

Example request:

curl -X POST "https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/integrations/connectors" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"workspace_name": "<WORKSPACE_NAME>",
"connector_type": "Facebook-Marketing",
"name": "My Facebook-Marketing Connector",
"credentials": {
"account_key": "<Facebook long-lived access token for Service Account authentication>"
},
"replication_config": {
"account_ids": "<The Facebook Ad account ID(s) to pull data from. The Ad account ID number is in the account dropdown menu or in your browser's address bar of your Meta Ads Manager.>"
}
}'

Execution

After creating the connector, execute operations using the CLI, Python SDK, or API. If your Airbyte client can access multiple organizations, set the default organization with airbyte-agent organizations use, include organization_id in AirbyteAuthConfig, or include X-Organization-Id in raw API calls.

CLI

Authenticate with Airbyte:

airbyte-agent login

Create the connector. The CLI opens the hosted setup flow:

airbyte-agent connectors create --json '{
"workspace": "<your_workspace_name>",
"name": "facebook-marketing"
}'

Describe the connector to see its supported entities and actions:

airbyte-agent connectors describe --json '{
"workspace": "<your_workspace_name>",
"name": "facebook-marketing"
}'

Execute an action:

airbyte-agent connectors execute --json '{
"workspace": "<your_workspace_name>",
"name": "facebook-marketing",
"entity": "<entity>",
"action": "<action>",
"params": {}
}'

Python SDK

The connect() factory returns a fully typed FacebookMarketingConnector and reads AIRBYTE_CLIENT_ID / AIRBYTE_CLIENT_SECRET from the environment:

Pydantic AI
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from airbyte_agent_sdk import connect
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.facebook_marketing import FacebookMarketingConnector

connector = connect("facebook-marketing", workspace_name="<your_workspace_name>")

agent = Agent("openai:gpt-4o")

@agent.tool_plain
@FacebookMarketingConnector.tool_utils
async def facebook_marketing_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

Or pass credentials explicitly (equivalent, useful when you're not loading them from the environment): Pydantic AI

Pydantic AI
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.facebook_marketing import FacebookMarketingConnector
from airbyte_agent_sdk.types import AirbyteAuthConfig

connector = FacebookMarketingConnector(
auth_config=AirbyteAuthConfig(
workspace_name="<your_workspace_name>",
organization_id="<your_organization_id>", # Optional for multi-org clients
airbyte_client_id="<your-client-id>",
airbyte_client_secret="<your-client-secret>"
)
)

agent = Agent("openai:gpt-4o")

@agent.tool_plain
@FacebookMarketingConnector.tool_utils
async def facebook_marketing_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

API

curl -X POST 'https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/integrations/connectors/<connector_id>/execute' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN>' \
-H 'X-Organization-Id: <YOUR_ORGANIZATION_ID>' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"entity": "<entity>", "action": "<action>", "params": {}}'

Open source mode

In open source mode, provide API credentials directly to the connector.

OAuth

credentials fields you need:

Field NameTypeRequiredDescription
access_tokenstrYesFacebook OAuth2 Access Token
client_idstrNoFacebook App Client ID
client_secretstrNoFacebook App Client Secret

Example request:

from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.facebook_marketing import FacebookMarketingConnector
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.facebook_marketing.models import FacebookMarketingOauth20AuthenticationAuthConfig

connector = FacebookMarketingConnector(
auth_config=FacebookMarketingOauth20AuthenticationAuthConfig(
access_token="<Facebook OAuth2 Access Token>",
client_id="<Facebook App Client ID>",
client_secret="<Facebook App Client Secret>"
)
)

Token

credentials fields you need:

Field NameTypeRequiredDescription
account_keystrYesFacebook long-lived access token for Service Account authentication

Example request:

from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.facebook_marketing import FacebookMarketingConnector
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.facebook_marketing.models import FacebookMarketingServiceAccountKeyAuthenticationAuthConfig

connector = FacebookMarketingConnector(
auth_config=FacebookMarketingServiceAccountKeyAuthenticationAuthConfig(
account_key="<Facebook long-lived access token for Service Account authentication>"
)
)
