Splitting organic and paid impressions in facebook api using R


I am using the Rfacebook package to retreive total impressions a facebookpost had. This works fine, however, this method does not split paid and organic impressions. I use the following code:

getInsights(object_id="post_id", token= token, metric='post_impressions')

Does anyone know how I can differentiate between organic and paid impressions/reach?


Solution

  • See the Facebook Insights API section on Page Post Impressions.

    You should be able to pass values for metric as

    to retrieve the various measures you need.

    metric can also be a character vector which will allow you to retrieve many at once.
