Is verification by passport or ID absolutely required for this API?

```
curl -G \
-d "search_terms='california'" \
-d "ad_type=ALL" \
-d "ad_reached_countries=['US']" \
-d "access_token=EAA<.........>" \
"https://graph.facebook.com/v17.0/ads_archive"
```

===>

```
{"error":{
"message":"Application does not have permission for this action",
"type":"OAuthException",
"code":10,
"error_subcode":2332002,
"is_transient":false,
"error_user_title":"Authorization and login needed",
"error_user_msg":"To access the API, you'll need to follow the steps at facebook.com\/ads\/library\/api.",
"fbtrace_id":"<...>"}
}
```

I don't understand - will **I have to** verify my personal account **by passport or ID** to then be permitted to use this API?

Or what's this error about?
