Hi Guys I am hoping someone could help me.
I have been toying around with the Facebook API for our company's facebook analytics page. I am looking to get information on the likes, shares, impressions etc and store directly to a database
I have been able to pull this information back using the Graph API Explorer. Now I want to be able to pull the information back for say today. When I add today's date in it only relates to the actual posts that were posted today, not today's activity. if that makes sense.
An example of this is if I had liked a post today that was created 2 days ago, it doesnt show in in today's activity, but the activity from 2 days ago.
The code I have been using is:
feed?fields=comments.limit(1).summary(true),likes.limit(1).summary(true)&since=2016-10-28
Just wondering if I am missing something as surely should be an easy way of getting todays actual activity from users?
Your example isn't fetching Insights, you're fetching the posts visible on the page's Timeline, then asking for a count of the comments and likes
There's a totally different API for fetching Insights data: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/platforminsights/page
This is the same API used by the Insights UI, so for the same set of metrics/dates, it should give identical results to the UI
