New Page Experience

This endpoint is supported for New Page Experience.

Limitations

  • Page Insights data is only available on Pages with 100 or more likes.
  • Most metrics will update once every 24 hours.
  • Only the last two years of insights data is available.
  • The values for period are calculated from the initial collection of the data point.
  • "Period" in the tables below only refers to the time frame for which the metric can be accessed in an aggregated form.
  • The value "lifetime" means the time period for which the insights data is available. By default, this time period is 2 years or shorter.
  • Only 90 days of insights can be viewed at one time when using the since and until parameters.
  • When using since and until, the since date data will be included in the first value returned.
  • Unique impression insights values are calculated independently.
    • Total page reach may not always be exactly equal to the sum of paid and non-paid unique values.
    • Total page reach may not always be exactly equal to the sum of viral_unique and organic_unique.
  • When an organic post is boosted, metrics for paid post impressions will include both organic and paid reach.
  • Demographic metrics, such as age, gender, and location, are only returned if there is data for 100 or more people.
  • Breakdown metrics for Page post and Page view insights will only return non-zero values.
  • Several video related metrics only return accurate values if the person requesting the metric is the Page video post creator.
  • If you reshare a video post of another Page and retrieve its insights, the metrics return a value of 0. Metrics that return 0 for resharers are denoted with "Returns 0 for reshared videos" in their description.
  • If you neglect to indicate a specific metric or metrics for the endpoint, you will receive an error response with code 3001, with subcode 1504028 and an error message that states: "No metric was specified to be fetched. Please specify one or more metrics to be fetched and try again."
  • Interactions on Reels are not included.

Metrics

Metric names indicate whether a metric is for a Page or a Page post.

SuffixDescription

_unique

Indicates that the metric shows the number of unique users who performed a specific action, for example page_impressions_unique. Metrics generated with the _unique suffix are approximate and may not be 100% accurate.

_login

Indicates whether a person was logged into Facebook, for example, page_tab_views_login_top.

_logout

Indicates whether a person is logged out of Facebook, for example page_views_logout.

_source

Indicates that the metric will be broken down into a list of referral sources, for example page_fans_by_like_source. External referrals are broken down by domain. Internal referrals are broken down by Facebook-specific features such as Profile, Search, Requests, Suggestions, Stream, etc. In these cases the value returned will be an object containing a series of key-value pairs where the key is the source name and the value is the metric for that source.

*

Indicates that a metric is refreshed several times during the day, for example page_impressions_unique*.
