I have this error when calling Facebook's Marketing API “Api call cannot be made if api is not set”. How can I fix this?

Question

Title says it all. I am trying to connect the Facebook's Marketing API but am encountering the error above. I am a real rookie with all of this and would appreciate any help, guidance, or tutorial links.

from facebook_business.adobjects import campaign

adcampaign = campaign.Campaign('xxxxxxxxxx')
params = {
   'date_preset': campaign.Campaign.DatePreset.last_7d,
}
insights=campaign.Campaign('xxxxxxxxxx').get_insights(params=params)
print(insights)

This is the exact error message "facebook_business.exceptions.FacebookBadObjectError: Api call cannot be made if api is not set"

You need to initialize your facebook object. According to the README of the python project, you need to call FacebookAdsApi.init first:

FacebookAdsApi.init(my_app_id, my_app_secret, my_access_token)
