200 Requires Extended Permission

You're trying to perform a write operation (like creating or modifying an ad) but your access token only has read-level permissions. The specific extended permission for this action hasn't been granted.

What causes this error?

You’re trying to perform a write operation (like creating or modifying an ad) but your access token only has read-level permissions. The specific extended permission for this action hasn’t been granted.

How to fix it

1. Add the missing permission: Common culprits are ads_management (for write ops) vs ads_read (read-only). Update your login flow to request the write-level permission.
2. Use Business Manager tokens: System User tokens from Business Manager often have broader default permissions than user tokens from the Graph API Explorer.
3. Check token debug tool: Use Meta’s Access Token Debugger to see exactly which permissions are attached to your current token.
