Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Configuring Facebook Ads connections

Facebook Ads supports the AUTHORIZATION_CODE grant type for OAuth2.

  • This grant type is considered three-legged OAuth as it relies on redirecting users to the third-party authorization server to authenticate the user. It is used when creating connections via the Amazon Glue console.

  • Users may still opt to create their own connected app in Facebook Ads and provide their own client ID and client secret when creating connections through the Amazon Glue console. In this scenario, they will still be redirected to Facebook Ads to login and authorize Amazon Glue to access their resources.

  • This grant type results in an access token. An expiring system user token is valid for 60 days from a generated or refreshed date. To create continuity, the developer should refresh the access token within 60 days. Failing to do so results in forfeiting the access token and requires the developer obtain a new one to regain API access. See Refresh Access Token.

  • For public Facebook Ads documentation on creating a connected app for Authorization Code OAuth flow, see Using OAuth 2.0 to Access Google APIs in the Google for Developers guide.

To configure a Facebook Ads connection:

  1. In the Amazon Glue Data Catalog, create a connection by following the steps below:

    1. When selecting a Connection type, select Facebook Ads.

    2. Provide the INSTANCE_URL of the Facebook Ads instance you want to connect to.

    3. Select the Amazon IAM role which Amazon Glue can assume and has permissions for the following actions:

      {
"Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "secretsmanager:DescribeSecret",
                "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue",
                "secretsmanager:PutSecretValue",
                "ec2:CreateNetworkInterface",
                "ec2:DescribeNetworkInterface",
                "ec2:DeleteNetworkInterface",
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

    4. Select the secretName which you want to use for this connection in Amazon Glue to put the tokens.

    5. Select the network options if you want to use your network.

  2. Grant the IAM role associated with your Amazon Glue job permission to read secretName.

  3. In your Amazon Glue job configuration, provide connectionName as an Additional network connection.
