I am using Google DFP and define ad slot like this:
googletag.defineSlot('/1234567/my-beautiful-slot', [[728, 90],[300,250],[640,400]], 'the-best-div-ever');
What I expect is googletag makes requests with all the sizes provided and its reflected in statistics. However, what I actually see in the stats for ad requests is multiple combinations of sizes, say: "728x90, 640x400", "300x250", "728x90, 300x250" etc.
Why not all sizes are present in all requests? It looks like googletag choses some subset on the client, but Im not really sure and cant find any confirmation in manuals.

Official implementation of gpt defineSlot function, states that ad unit sizes can be defined via array, like this:
googletag.defineSlot('/1234567/sports', [728, 90], 'div-1');
What is the default implementation for this beehavior? Can we define all possible sizes in advance, to be requested from the frontend on each request, but let our admanager team to define sizes on the backend?
The goal is to avoid constant code changes, as our ad unit team works and tests different sizes.
Example. If we put following line in code
googletag.defineSlot('/1234567/sports', [[728, 90],[300,250]], 'div-1');
And our adManager team defines sets for ad unit /sports/ to deliver only 300x250.
Will this be valid behavior for google, and will deliver only 300x250 demand, ignoring other requested unit sizes?
The Google Publisher Tag API allows you to define multiple ad sizes for a unique ad placement.
Regarding your defined slot sample :
googletag.defineSlot('/1234567/sports', [[728, 90],[300,250]], 'div-1');
the behavior would be the following :
Google Ad Manager will create a slot where 728x90 and 300x250 are accepted
When the slot is requested, Google Ad Manager will select any activated line item with these sizes
when rendered, the ad placement will display only 728x90 or 300x250 creatives
I'm finding that some advertisers are over-aggressively reneging on ad impressions that have low viewability. As a result, I'd like to do my own audit of viewability per ad, rendering only just as the ad scrolls into view. I'll be tracking this with MixPanel, but was wondering if there is any way to insert a callback in the GPT API to determine which creative and line item was served after the fact.
Just listing this here for future searches:
googletag.events.SlotRenderEndedEvent seems be the best way to go about this as it provides access to several parameters including creativeId and the LineItemId.

I'm trying to collect all the posts of my company page with this kind of query
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.2//feed?limit=250&fields=id,type,status_type,comments{id},likes{id},shares
Problem is that I'm not collecting all posts.
I will have a better result with limit=20 and some time with limit=100
Most of the pages (from the pagination mechanism point of view) will not have 100 items.
I know some posts may not be exposed because of privacy settings.
My issue is that a call with limit=20 is not returning once going through pagination the same amount of data as limit=250.
How could it be?
How providers of Facebook Analytics can garanty the quality of data they collect ?
The Facebook graph api only allow the max of 100 items per request, despite you specify more than that.
Afaik the limit parameter is indeed buggy. But 250 would be a very high value, there is a max value for the parameter too - i assume it depends on the API call how high it is, could be fixed too.
Better don´t use limit at all and use paging to get more results: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api/v2.2#paging
I need to compile a list of the addresses of all the CDNs used by Facebook.
Example:
fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net
fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net
...
I need these for a captive portal application that allows user to connect to WiFi with facebook. We allow facebook.com through the firewall for Graph API calls, but one of the issues we had is that the Facebook login dialog takes forever to load and loads without stylesheets/images. We fixed that by white-listing fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net, but we want to make sure we won't have surprises later.
fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net
fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net
fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net
fbcdn-creative-a.akamaihd.net
fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net
And:
fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net
fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net
fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net
fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net
fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net
fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net
fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net
Those start from character A and ends at H, if Facebook would add a new domain it must be like :
fbcdn-sphotos-i-a.akamaihd.net
So future CDN domains would be
fbcdn-sphotos-j-a.akamaihd.net
fbcdn-sphotos-k-a.akamaihd.net
fbcdn-sphotos-l-a.akamaihd.net
fbcdn-sphotos-m-a.akamaihd.net
fbcdn-sphotos-n-a.akamaihd.net
And So on.. till character Z
akamaihd is used for old photos and for special photos(cover ph. example..) only as I see...
They created new servers and there is some new logic in them as well. Example:
scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net
scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net and more but I have seen some shared photos on interesting links. Example this:
https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/v/1472407_10151814939401656_1687041676_n.jpg?oh=d92bc9af7f987c5fe298ecc8c717a4e1&oe=5287894B&__gda__=1384659513_abeb3f33223e6e737aff91419149509e
Does Google Visualization, when creating a chart , send your data (the x and y values and labels) back to Google? Or does it create the chart with Javascript in the client?
I mean the HTML5 Google API loaded with this command
google.load('visualization', '1.0', {'packages':['corechart']});
( https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/quick_start ) , not the old Chart API that created an image.
I am concerned about the security of my data, which is internal corporate data I want to present only on our intranet.
https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/security_privacy
They claim that the data is kept only a short time for debugging purposes, then deleted. However if this is legally protected data under HIPA or SEC regulations that is unlikely to be good enough.
After reading further I found these on Google saying that for many charts, no data is sent to Google (or even your own server).
"All Google-authored charts are developed with privacy and security considerations in mind. All Google chart documentation pages include a data policy section that describes whether a chart sends any chart data from the page."
Line Chart: All code and data are processed and rendered in the browser. No data is sent to any server.
