Getting Started with the SDK
The first step to use the Facebook Business SDK for Java is to register an app on [developers.facebook.com]. You will need to provide some basic information about your app, such as its name, category, and privacy policy. You will also need to add the Marketing API product to your app, which will allow you to access the features of the SDK related to advertising and marketing. You can find more details on how to register an app on [this page].
The next step is to obtain an access token, which is a string that identifies your app and grants it permission to access Facebook APIs. There are different types of access tokens, depending on the scope and duration of your app's actions. For example, to access the Marketing API, you will need a user access token with the ads_management permission; to access the Pages API, you will need a page access token with the manage_page permission. You can generate an access token using the Graph Explorer tool, which is a web interface that allows you to test and debug Facebook APIs. You can find more information on how to obtain an access token on [this page].
Installing the SDK
Once you have registered your app and obtained an access token, you can install the Facebook Business SDK for Java using Maven or Gradle. Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool that can help you manage dependencies and build configurations. Gradle is a build automation tool that can help you compile, test, and package your code. You can find the instructions on how to install the SDK using Maven or Gradle on [this page].
Using the SDK
The Facebook Business SDK for Java provides classes and methods that correspond to the objects and actions of the Graph API. For example, you can use the AdAccount class to represent an ad account, and use its methods to create, update, or delete campaigns, ad sets, or ads. You can also use the APIRequest class to make custom requests to any endpoint of the Graph API. You can find examples of how to use the SDK on [this page].
