# Get Page Insights



This guide explains how to get [metrics](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/insights) for your Facebook Pages. Get the total number of people who liked your Page or the number of people who shared stories about your Page.

**Warning:** By June 15, 2026, a [number of the Page Insights metrics](https://developers.facebook.com/documentation/pages-api/platforminsights/page/deprecated-metrics) will be deprecated for all API versions. The API returns an invalid metric error when calling any of these metrics. [Read our blog to learn more.](  https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2026/02/18/introducing-graph-api-v25-and-marketing-api-v25/)

#### Limitations

* Metric data of public Pages is stored by Facebook for 2 years.
* Metric data of unpublished Pages is stored for only 5 days.
* When viewing daily metrics with `since` and `until`, the first `end_time` value will be the date specified by `since` plus 1 so that it includes the `since` date data. For example, if you set `since` to January 1, 2018, the `end_time` will be January 2, 2018 at 8:00 GMT.

## Before You Start

* [`pages_read_engagement` permission](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/login-permissions#manage-pages)
* [`read_insights` permission](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/login-permissions#read-insights)
* A [Page Access Token](https://developers.facebook.com/documentation/facebook-login/guides/access-tokens) - The person requesting the token must be able to perform the [analyze](https://developers.facebook.com/documentation/pages-api/overview#tasks) task on the Page.

## Get a Single Metric

Send a `GET` request to the `/{page-id}/insights/{metric-name}` endpoint:

```
curl -i -X GET "https://graph.facebook.com/{page-id}/insights/page_impressions_unique
  ?access_token={page-access-token}"
```

On success your app receives the following response:
