title: Facebook Ads API /adcreatives video error
body: <p>My team and I have been crawling both the net and Facebook Docs for answers, but for some reason there are no valid answers to our question. </p>
  
  <p>So we desperately hope for help from someone here</p>
  
  <p>We are trying to create a video AD on facebook. Upload is done and we are at the step where we need to create the creative through /adcreatives endpoint. </p>
  
  <p>Below is the body of the POST :

         }
  
        },

      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The response from facebook is rather worrying : </p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "error": {
          "message": "Invalid parameter",
          "type": "OAuthException",
          "code": 100,
          "error_subcode": 1487390,
          "is_transient": false,
          "error_user_title": "Adcreative Create Failed",
          "error_user_msg": "The Adcreative Create Failed for the following reason: Oops, something went wrong. Please try again later",
          "fbtrace_id": "EVL6GYOOtYi"
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Also as an extra info, creating both non-video / image creatives and herafter ads is not an issue. Posting pre uploaded videos to a page is NOT an issue. All access rights has been given to the Facebook APP.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for taking the time to look at this.</p>
