Stats by Ad Account
To retrieve conversion stats for an Ad account make an HTTP GET request to:
https://graph.facebook.com/act_{ad_account_id}/conversions
This will return conversion data aggregated from all adgroups, including deleted.
Note: If a conversion spec specifies likes of a post, i.e., {'action.type':'like', 'post':POST_ID}, the conversion stats shows the action as 'post_like' (see above). This is mainly to enable differentiating likes on a post from likes on a page quickly in the conversion stats response.
Stats by Ad Campaign
To retrieve conversion stats for all Ad campaigns under an Ad account make an HTTP GET request to:
https://graph.facebook.com/act_{ad_account_id}/adcampaignconversions
You can choose to filter the response by specifying the following optional fields:
| name | type | description |
