Research direction

Reproduce the reported command from python/fb_ads_library_api_cli.py, then trace the call through python/fb_ads_library_api_operators.py to _get_ad_archives_from_url in python/fb_ads_library_api.py. Verify the behavior of the --after-date value on the reported environment; done means the command completes without the reported OSError and produces the requested CSV output.
