What permissions are needed to call /{page-id}/ads_posts on Facebook Graph API?

I'm trying to list the Ads for a Facebook Page using the Graph API /{page-id}/ads_posts endpoint, but I get a permissions when I try to.

Using the Graph API Explorer, I generate an Page Access Token with those permissions: email, read_insights, manages_pages, pages_show_list, ads_read, business_management, instagram_basic, instagram_manage_insights and public_profile. I'm an admin on the Page itself, the attached Business Manager and on the corresponding Ad Account.

Every time I try to call the /{page-id}/ads_posts, I receive

{
  "error": {
    "message": "(#200) Not enough permission to call this endpoint",
    "type": "OAuthException",
    "code": 200,
    "fbtrace_id": "XXXXX"
  }
}

I can't find any help on the Facebook documentation or Google, given that the error isn't really meaningful (in some cases, I get a message saying that a specific permissions is missing, but not here). Anyone can help ?

EDIT: I tried to add the ads_management permission too, without success.

  2. The pages_show_list permission
  3. The ads_management permission
  4. The person requesting the access token must be able to perform the ADVERTISE task on the Page.

You need to add those pages to your app that is in development mode (https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=business_tools).
