Deprecation Announcement: Lead Generation

[AdsAPI]

Today we are announcing the deprecation of Lead Generation, which will happen in two phases for the Ads API.

1. On 2017-02-01, it will no longer be possible to:

   • create lead generation (objective=LEAD_GENERATION) campaigns
     • it will still be possible to view, edit, and delete these campaigns
   • create or edit lead generation cards

2. On 2017-03-01, it will no longer be possible to view lead generation cards

Note that campaign analytics will still be available.

It is no longer possible to create new or update existing Lead Generation campaigns. Trying to do so will result in the following error:
