What permissions do I need for facebook activity history?
Wondering can anyone point me in the right direction here. I am trying to access the activity endpoint of the facebook marketing api and keep getting a missing permissions error.

Can anyone help or point me to what I am doing wrong?
I am following this stack so think I am right in graph endpoint:
Using the Activity Log Endpoint in the Facebook Marketing APIs
Endpoint I am creating looks like this in python:
url = f"https://graph.facebook.com/v20.0/act_{account_id}/activities?access_token={access_token}" I have tried recreating my token and giving all permissions to it and still getting the same error so not sure what I am missing. Can someone point me to the permissions required for it? This is the error I'm seeing:
Here is the error:
{'error': {'message': '(#100) Missing permissions', 'type': 'OAuthException', 'code': 100, 'fbtrace_id': 'Aa6zg3SUnxRo_rLBI6EQTtA'}}
Standard Access ads_read and ads_management permissions are sufficient for managing your ad account. To manage other ad accounts, you’ll need Advanced Access permissions.

Hi Lokesh, Thanks for that. Do you happen to know what advanced access is needed? I can't find anywhere what specific access is required. Is it advanced access to the marketing api or specific permissions from the user granted?
I got the access tokens with below permissions ads_management, business_management, pages_read_engagement, pages_manage_metadata, pages_read_user_content, pages_manage_ads. After that I have tried the url https://graph.facebook.com/v20.0/act_{account_id}/activities?access_token={access_token} it worked for me.
Also, complete Business Verification for your account. I am not sure business verification is really need but my account has already bussiness verified so I think that might be required.
