Hi, I was able to replicate the behavior you are seeing, but this is likely as designed. The sandbox environment does not usually have the complete set validation features enabled, as the purpose is for testing code, not content. In this case it is likely that the API returns "FORBIDDEN" for all ads created in the sandbox. Let me know if you have any other questions.
