Error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'call'

Question

I'm trying to create Ad-set using the code given in developer's site. Here is link

Code:

from facebookads.adobjects.adset import AdSet
from facebookads.adobjects.targeting import Targeting

adset = AdSet(parent_id='act_Account-ID')
adset.update({
    AdSet.Field.name: 'My Ad Set',
    AdSet.Field.campaign_id: 'Campaingn-ID',
    AdSet.Field.daily_budget: 1000,
    AdSet.Field.billing_event: AdSet.BillingEvent.impressions,
    AdSet.Field.optimization_goal: AdSet.OptimizationGoal.reach,
    AdSet.Field.bid_amount: 2,
    AdSet.Field.targeting: {
        Targeting.Field.geo_locations: {
            'countries': ['US'],
        },
    },
})

adset.remote_create(params={
    'status': AdSet.Status.paused,
})
print(adset)

Error:

WARNING:root:parent_id as a parameter of constructor is being deprecated.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "adset_test.py", line 88, in <module>
    'status': AdSet.Status.paused,

    response = request.execute()
  File "D:\PERSONAL DATA\python\Online Compitions\Job Test\AbsentiaVR\env\lib\site-packages\facebookads\api.py", line 669, in execute
    response = self._api.call(
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'call'

Note:

I have used right values in act_Account-ID and 'Campaingn-ID'.

Please help to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.

Apparently, that python client for their API has been deprecated and this is to be used now.

Initialising the API before instantiating the AdSet object should not result in that issue:

from facebook_business.api import FacebookAdsApi

my_app_id = 'your-app-id'
my_app_secret = 'your-appsecret'
my_access_token = 'your-page-access-token'
FacebookAdsApi.init(my_app_id, my_app_secret, my_access_token)
