About rfacebookstat
A Facebook Marketing API client for R whose release schedule belongs to Meta, not its author.
rfacebookstat wraps the Facebook Marketing API for R analysts, and nearly every release is a migration to a newer API version — v14, v15, v16, v19, v20 all appear in this window. Feature work rides along with those migrations: fbGetAdAccounts() gained a spend_cap field, and fbGetMarketingStat() gained use_unified_attribution_setting, which switches results to the ad-set-level attribution settings and overrides the older account-level argument.
