How to access all draft campaigns with the Facebook marketing API?

Time:12-05

I'm trying to list all of my draft campaigns using the Facebook marketing API. By default, it seems, only non-draft (published?) campaigns are listed when calling

curl -i -X GET \
 "https://graph.facebook.com/v12.0/act_12345/campaigns?fields=id,name&access_token=<mytoken>"

When looking at the code of the facebook-python-business-sdk, there are multiple references to unpublished content type, which makes me think that there should be a way to list all unpublished campaigns. So my question is how can I list all campaigns, published and unpublished?

I know this question is a duplicate (see here, here, and here) but I'm asking it again since it has not been answered and I'd like to put out a bounty for a helpful response.

I believe the only way to get draft campaigns is below:

  1. You should get all addrafts. On my account I have only 1 addraft that contains all draft campaigns, but maybe you can have more. URL for getting addrafts:

https://graph.facebook.com/v12.0/act_<ad_account_id>/addrafts?access_token=<access_token>&fields=name,ad_object_id,id

  1. Now you can get addraft_fragments. You can see all draft fragments of your ad_account (campaigns, adsets, ads), but you can easily find here what you want. URL for getting addraft_fragments:

https://graph.facebook.com/v12.0/<addraft_id>/addraft_fragments?access_token=<access_token>&fields=name,id,ad_object_id,ad_object_type,budget,ad_object_name,values
