I was tasked with fetching estimates for cost per click, impressions, reach, total spend, etc. I'm trying to use the reachfrequencyprediction API, but after I execute the request I get the following error:

You do not have permission to run a reach and frequency campaign.

I tried searching on Facebook Ads Documentation but didn't find the permission you need to have to use it.

I've read the restrictions on using this feature https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/reachandfrequency/#restrictions and I don't seem to have any issues with that.

I've attached my code, maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I'm using a SandBox account, could this be why?
