Reading

Information about this business's ad accounts.

At the end of September 2024, the POST /{pixel-id}/shared_accounts API (including previous versions) will not support sharing of pixels with an ad account, if a business account does not have access to both pixel and ad account. Refer to the pixel sharing API solution to use POST /{pixel-id}/agencies or use POST {ad_account}/agencies to share into a business account, then use POST /{pixel-id}/shared_accounts to link pixel and ad account
