Facebook API endpoint to get campaigns of a certain objective?

I'm trying to fetch all of my ad campaigns from Facebook whose objective is "WEBSITE_CLICKS" (ie, driving visitors to your site). When I make a GET request against the following:

/act_myaccountid/adcampaign_groups?fields=objective,name

or, using the official Python Ads SDK:

fields = [facebookads.objects.AdCampaign.Field.objective, facebookads.objects.AdCampaign.Field.name]
campaigns = my_user_account.get_ad_campaigns(fields=fields)

I get something that looks like:

{
"data": [
{
  "objective": "NONE",
  "name": "name1",
  "id": "1234"
},
{
  "objective": "NONE",
  "name": "name2",
  "id": "567"
},

I'd like to be able to only get campaigns with that particular objective. Is there a way to do this? I read through the Ads documentation but didn't see anything.

It's not documented as far I've seen but the FB Ads Manager UI allows such filtering which also happens to work in external Graph API calls.

Make a call to the API with a filtering parameter like so:

filtering=[
  {
    "field":"<FIELD>",
    "operator":"IN",
    "value":[
      "<VALUE>"
    ]
  }
]

For example, your request would be:

/act_myaccountid/adcampaign_groups?fields=objective,name&filtering=[{"field":"objective","operator":"IN","value":["WEBSITE_CLICKS"]}]
