fbad_init function

Initiate Facebook Account with OAuth token

Initiate Facebook Account with OAuth token

If you do not have a token, then register an (e.g. "Website") application at https://developers.facebook.com/apps and make a note of your "App ID" and "App Secret" at the "Dashboard" of your application. Then go to "Settings", click on "Add Platform", then "Website" and paste http://localhost:1410 as the "Site URL". Save, and then run the below example R commands to get your token. Please note that your app needs access to your ads as well, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/overview/authorization for more details.
