Currently I am using the Insights node of the Facebook Graph API to fetch some metrics for posts. I ran into an interesting problem and don't know if this is intended behavior for the API.
My issue is the following:
BEFORE October 2017, the total amount of impressions for a post seems to be equal to post_impressions_paid, post_impressions_organic AND post_impressions viral.
AFTER October 2017 this seems no longer to be true - Then post_impressions is just equal to post_impressions_paid and post_impressions_organic.
I can't find any information on this in the documentation. Did I run into a bug or did I reveal a hidden "feature" of the API?
Apparently they changed it with v2.12

When I am using the Mapbox Visual I get a message that the visual is not supported and will be deprecated.
I am using this visual in the last year and thats the first time that I get that message.
What does that mean?
What about the reports that using this visual?
Thanks for choosing Mapbox for your mapping needs. We have some exciting updates that will be occurring with the Mapbox and Power BI integration.
Over the past few weeks, you may have received a notification Visual is not supported and will be deprecated.... Please disregard this message as it does not accurately reflect the status or future plans of the Mapbox Visual for Power BI. Microsoft has removed this notification as of this week.
We want to clarify that the Power BI integration is not being deprecated. We are actively working with a trusted partner to ensure the maintenance and ongoing improvement of this integration so it continues to serve our customers in the long run. We will have more details to share in the near future.
In the meantime, for any questions or issues you have regarding Power BI and Mapbox, we recommend you either create an issue in our open source repository or ask your question on Stack Overflow or the Power BI forums to get help from others who may have experienced a similar issue.
Thank you,

Hi I am new to Power Bi.
After creating a report in Power BI Desktop I am trying to publish it. I get a Success message.
When I following the link ("Open 'Skedulering2019.pbix in Power BI"), however I get a strange looking browser (not the same as in any tutorial I have seen). Also I cannot see anything loaded. What am I missing.?
Regards
Two things you can do
Wait for few mins, sometimes I have seen a lag , when I do publish from Desktop and representation in the Web
Switch to Google Browser

You're most likely using an unsupported version of Internet Explorer.
Here's a list browsers that PowerBI supports as of June 2018:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-browser-support
We are publishing our powerbi reports embedded into a website with a PowerBI Premium Plan. All our analytic visualizations are on PowerBI but we are in troubles to offer some user interactions through the interface.
Specifically, we want to confirm some events pressing a button which is located on the same powerbi in order to call a backend API through a Javascript.
Fortunately, we've figured out how to solve this problem and our button is updating our database. But we couldn't solve the problem associated with limitations about numbers of requests to the power bi service. It is said that there is a limit of one request every 15 seconds. So, we have to wait 15 seconds to press the button again. Nobody will want to wait more than a few seconds to interact again with the button.
We've used the last example as is described in the following URL:
Embedding Basic interactions
Someone has experience with this kind of interactions on PowerBI? I find it a little strange, I do not find any information about this limitation on the Microsoft website
Here an example of the exception:
You are using PowerBI Embedded. This is a service from Microsoft where you pay for a certain amount of processing power. When you go over this processing power, PowerBI will return an error.
A capacity calculator is available to see how much processing power you would need. You can find it on the Microsoft website.
I'm not sure what you're using this functionality for. You say you use the button to "confirm some events" which suggests that the PowerBI solution is part of an interactive application. Do remember that PowerBI is an analytics platform and as such not really suited for real-time interaction. If this is the case I would strongly advise finding a different solution since higher-tier PowerBI embedded licenses are very expensive (and still won't guarantee that no error will be generated)
Since about a month we integrated a test report as a dashboard into a web application (power bi embedded). This dashboard is only accessible from within that application if you are logged on. We have around 20 tiles on the report and as far as i understood that, this means 20 renders. Since this is just a test and is mainly used to discuss with clients how the real reports will look in the future we had around 60 calls of that report in the last 30 days => so roughly 1200 renders. so since 1000 are free and we havent actually rendered over 2k it should still be more or less free - or maybe the $2,50 for 1000 renders.
but now our free trial azure account has been deactivated, because power bi ate up the free €170 start budget and it would total to bill around €600 according to the warning in azure... In my count that means azure counted 300000 renders. That seems totally wrong to me.
Do i completely misunderstand the pricing model? Anybody else have a problem like that?
Yes, I also had this problem, I was basically getting charged the per render instead of every thousand renders.
As specializt mentions, these kinds of questions aren't meant for stackoverflow.
To get the issue resolved, log a support ticket with Microsoft Billing from the Azure portal by selecting the question mark icon, and select New Support Request. Then explain your problem in detail and they should correct the problem and credit your account.
I am new to FB development, all help appreciated.
I've added FB comment box to all articles of my website. Now I want to get a list of most commented articles(urls) recently. Like a top 10 list of articles most discussed for the past 24 hours in my website....
What approach should I use? Can this be achieved using FQL?
This question talks about doing batch requests for comments (comment counts would be similar) for many URLS on the same site: Facebook fb:comments Graph API
The comment section on the FQL documentation seems to address batch retrieval too. You can then sort out the most popular ones and display links: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/comment/
Good luck.
