The release of Facebook Graph API, v2.12 is scheduled for January 30, 2018 and does not contain any versioned breaking changes for Facebook Marketing APIs, except for the following scenario:
If you're using Product Catalog as part of your application, you may be affected by a couple of security-related breaking changes. Technically, these are not Marketing API endpoints. However, these are used by some marketing applications, and hence can be considered breaking changes for such applications. Read further below for details.
As of May 8, 2018, we'll limit permissions to catalogs managed under the same Business Manager account to only users who have explicitly been assigned the ADMIN or ADVERTISER role on that catalog owned by a business, as follows:
POST {product-catalog-id}
.Business Manager is used by many agencies to manage the catalogs of many different businesses and for larger organizations to manage their own businesses. To ensure read access between catalogs managed under the same Business Manager account is limited to those which have explicitly granted access, we'll require the ADMIN or ADVERTISER role to be granted to any catalog user.
The Business Manager interface enables agencies and other businesses to manage catalogs and campaigns on behalf of multiple businesses. The businesses themselves may also access catalogs independently (via Catalog Manager or API). The existing permissions model permits businesses managed under the same Business Manager account to read each other's catalogs without each business explicitly granting access to the others. This change requires businesses to explicitly opt-in to sharing their catalogs with other businesses under the Business Manager account by assigning the ADMIN or ADVERTISER role to a user from that business.
This change applies to calling POST {product-catalog-id}
and to these calls:
GET {product-catalog-id} GET {ad-promoted-object-node-id} GET /{business-id}/assigned_product_catalogs GET /{business-id}/client_product_catalogs GET /{business-id}/owned_product_catalogs GET /{business-id}/product_catalogs GET /{business-project-id}/product_catalogs GET {product-item-id} GET {product-group-id} GET {product-set-id} GET {assigned_product_catalogs_edge}
API users who require access to catalogs of another business under the same Business Manager account should be explicitly assigned the ADMIN or ADVERTISER role for that catalog, as appropriate. Learn how to configure roles.
