Graph API Version

Insights Metric /{object-id}/insights/{metric}

Facebook Insights is a product available to all Pages and Apps on Facebook using the Insights dashboard. This object represents a single Insights metric that is tied to another particular Graph API object (Page, Post, etc.). This object is returned by the following edges:

Insights are only generated for a Facebook Page that has more than 30 people that like it.

App Insights are now returned by a separate /app/app_insights edge and will no longer work with this edge in v2.1.

Note:

  • The Graph API object {post-id} needs to be specified in the same format returned by the API call to fetch a list of page posts - do not attempt to split or combine other IDs to form a post ID.
  • The Insights API only offers two years retention. Insights data older than two years is subject to removal.
  • If you neglect to indicate a specific metric or metrics for the endpoint, you will receive an error response such as:
{
  "error": {
    "message": "Invalid query",
    "type": "OAuthException",
    "code": 3001,
    "error_subcode": 1504028,
    "is_transient": false,
    "error_user_title": "No Metric Specified",
    "error_user_msg": "No metric was specified to be fetched. Please specify one or more metrics to be fetched and try again.",
    "fbtrace_id": "GpdspOgqUHT"
  }
}

Reading

The endpoint used is determined both by the object (Page, Post) being queried and the metric that is being looked up. All available metrics are listed below.

Permissions

  • Any valid access token can be used for publicly available metrics (currently page_fans_country or page_storytellers_by_country).
  • A user access token with read_insights permission can retrieve metrics for all pages owned by this user.
  • A page access token with read_insights permission can retrieve all metrics for that Page.

Page Storytellers by Country

The data for page_storytellers_by_country contains data for the top 45 countries overall, not the top 45 countries for your page. This means:

  • If your page has no data for the overall top 45 countries, they will not appear in the list
  • If you have users that are not from the top 45 countries, they will not appear in the list

Therefore the sum of all breakdwon values returned by page_storytellers_by_country may not be the same value returned by page_storytellers.

Examples

There are two different ways to access the metrics of the Insights edge -- a single metric or a list of several metrics.

Available Metrics

All available metrics are shown below. Some of these metrics are available only to Pages, some only to Apps, and some to Posts, but the naming of each should indicate this. We have grouped the metrics into different categories.

Also, several video-related metrics will only return accurate values if you are the page video post creator. If you reshare another page's video post and retrieve its insights, these metric will instead return a value of 0. Metrics that return 0 for resharers are denoted with "Returns 0 for reshared videos" in their description.

Naming Patterns for Metrics

  • The _unique suffix indicates that this metric shows the number of unique users who performed a specific action. Metrics generated with the _unique suffix are approximate and may not be 100% accurate.
  • The _login and _logout suffixes indicate whether someone was logged into or out of Facebook.
  • The _source suffix indicates that the metric will be broken down into a list of referral sources. 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 case 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.
  • Metrics that are marked with * are available in real-time, i.e., they are refreshed approximately every 15 minutes. Most other metrics will update once every 24 hours.
