How can I get number of page likes, post shares and website clicks aggregated by ad group. Post comments and post likes are fetched through field 'inline_actions' - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/ads-api/adreportstats#columns (/reportstats/date_preset=yesterday&data_columns=['adgroup_id','inline_actions']&actions_group_by=['action_type']). I need a way to fetch these report items using api, just like they are returned using https://www.facebook.com/ads/manage/reporting.php.
To get data per adgroup level you must include adgroup_id or adgroup_name in data_columns - as you're doing.
Comments, Likes and many other actions are returned in column actions
You can specify which actions types you're interested in by specifying filters:
filters=[
{
"field": "action_type",
"type": "in",
"value": [
"like",
"page_engagement",
"post_engagement",
"post_like",
"comment",
"games.plays",
"post",
"photo_view",
"link_click",
"receive_offer",
"checkin",
"mention",
"tab_view",
"vote",
"follow",
"gift_sale",
"video_play",
"video_view",
"offsite_conversion",
"offsite_conversion.checkout",
"offsite_conversion.registration",
"offsite_conversion.lead",
"offsite_conversion.key_page_view",
"offsite_conversion.add_to_cart",
"offsite_conversion.other",
"app_install",
"app_engagement",
"app_story",
"app_use",
"credit_spent",
"mobile_app_install",
"app_custom_event",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_activate_app",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_complete_registration",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_content_view",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_search",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_rate",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_tutorial_completion",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_add_to_cart",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_add_to_wishlist",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_initiated_checkout",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_add_payment_info",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_purchase",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_level_achieved",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_achievement_unlocked",
"app_custom_event.fb_mobile_spent_credits",
"app_custom_event.other",
"rsvp"
]
}
]
However that's optional IIRC, API should send you all non-zero actions by default.

For a small Facebook Sales Group Monitor I need to query the group's new posts. I've intended to do this via the Graph API, requesting only posts which have been either
created since the last query (created_time) or
updated since the last query (updated_time).
This, however, seems not to be possible.
Omitting all non-date fields, a GET /v2.7/<group-id>/feed request returns the following data:
"data": [
{
"updated_time": "2016-01-12T20:11:02+0000",
"created_time": "2014-09-16T09:55:39+0000",
"id": "552364968142715_789142084465001"
},
{
"updated_time": "1970-01-01T00:16:40+0000",
"created_time": "2016-08-28T19:15:53+0000",
"id": "552364968142715_1183108935068312"
},
{
"updated_time": "1970-01-01T00:16:39+0000",
"created_time": "2016-08-29T14:13:22+0000",
"id": "552364968142715_1183722648340274"
},
{
"updated_time": "1970-01-01T00:16:38+0000",
"created_time": "2016-08-28T09:15:05+0000",
"id": "552364968142715_1182673285111877"
},
...
]
The first entry is from the pinned group-rules post, created in 2014, updated 2016.
The second and fourth entries are both from yesterday, the third post is from today.
All but the first post have updated_time-timestamps close to the UNIX epoch's beginning. With a few exceptions, the value seems to be decreasing by 1 second for every post in the list, even when requesting 100+ posts.
The API Reference for Group feeds states, that the since=<timestamp> query parameter only applies on the updated_time field, which does not help in this case.
Is there any way to filter for or at least sort by the created_time value?
I am running into same problem. It seems currently created_time only apply for Page feed, not Group feed at the moment :(
Is there a way to create an album to the SALES groups in Facebook ? when I use the graph API explorer to fetch the user's groups it only brings back the user groups and not the sales groups he / she is part of
Command I used is get > v2.7 > me/groups and it returns
{
"data": [
{
"name": "Shadow Creek Columbus Indiana",
"privacy": "SECRET",
"id": "647651662006143"
}
],
"paging": {
"cursors": {
"before": "NjQ3NjUxNjYyMDA2MTQz",
"after": "NjQ3NjUxNjYyMDA2MTQz"
}
}
}
My second question is, if I were to create an album in the above group and add photos to it using the URL I am able to, however I have a phonegap app and that would be loading the images from the local and not from web, so I need to use the Source field instead of URL. However I am not able to test the same using the explorer. What value should I specify in the Source field ?
So I am aware of how to check each page to get a list of all subscribed apps.
But I would like to get a list of all pages my app has real time update subscriptions for?
so i have tried this
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/$app_id/subscriptions?access_token=$app_token
but this just brings back basic info on the app.
I would like a list of pages that it has subscriptions to already?
Can anyone help?
This doesn't look to be possible.
Endpoint you're using - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.8/app/subscriptions - is to get list of application webhooks (callback_url and type of changes), which are called subscriptions for some reason. It's not about pages that subscribed to this webhook (or this app in general).
Overall, even in https://developers.facebook.com/apps/ for your app, under e.g. Messenger tab, you will only see subset of all pages that subscribed to this app. The visible subset is limited by your facebook user account permissions, presumably only show pages that you're either Admin or Editor.
Therefore, if such call would be possible, it would be somehow tied to User Access Token as well, not only app token.
You can do this here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
Once logged, you can click on right button and select "Get User Access Token". You will need at least manage_pages or pages_show_list permission to accomplish this.
Now, all you have to do is call this endpoint: /me/accounts.
It should list all subscribed pages on your app.
Hope it helps.
As per
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens/#apptokens
it is possible (graph api):
GET /oauth/access_token
?client_id={app-id}
&client_secret={app-secret}
&grant_type=client_credentials
And then /<app_id>/subscriptions
which returns something like:
{
"data": [
{
"object": "application",
"callback_url": "https:...",
"active": true,
"fields": [
{
"name": "ads_rules_engine",
"version": "v2.9"
}
]
},
{
"object": "page",
"callback_url": "https://...",
"active": true,
"fields": [
{
"name": "leadgen",
"version": "v2.5"
}
]
}
]
}
I want to access number of custom actions (that I've defined) done on my Open Graph object. Facebook will return number of Like actions in response(like this) but they don't include number of custom actions.
Apps can retrieve actions published for the authorized user. For example, a Recipe app can retrieve all the recipes I've cooked or plan on cooking and customize the app experience based the data.
This API returns the action’s metadata including timestamps along with custom properties and their values. Objects referenced from an action are returned a single level deep.
GET /{action-instance-id}
The following retrieves a specific action instance
https://graph.facebook.com/{action-instance-id}?access_token=USER_ACCESS_TOKEN
Response
{
"id": "1538292028372"
"start_time": 1303502229,
"end_time": 1303513029,
"data": {
"type": "recipebox:recipe",
"url": "http://www.example.com/pumpkinpie.html",
"id": "1234567890",
"title": "Pumpkin Pie"
},
}
The above content is from FB Documentaion
here I am for real update "page", add fields to status to receive the "status" of
pages, I try to add as "link" fields to receive the subscription works but I do
not receive notification when I publish a link, it's really difficult to have
correct information
{
"object": "user",
"callback_url": "http://*/fbcallback.php",
"fields": [
"feed",
"link",
"status"
],
"active": true
}
http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=18048#c40
As per the documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/realtime/ :
To setup a subscription, send a POST with the following parameters
It seems like you're posting a JSON object while you should do is a normal post with these variables (as if you're doing a with action="post").
Note, by the way, that the fields parameter needs to have a CSV value, so that would be "feed,link,status", and that there's no 'active' attribute.
