"Facebook Analytics for Apps" documentation provides an API to export our data: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/analytics/export#faqs
They say "we don't support exporting demographic data at the device level".
I want to download my demographic data (gender, age) at a global level (no need for device one) but I found no way to get it with the API.
It is possible to download a CSV next to the charts they are displaying: did someone manage to get it programatically ?
You can get aggregated demographics such as age,gender,language,country for events via the App Insights API: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/application/app_insights/.

Does either the Instagram Basic Display API or the Instagram Graph API allow me to simply get any public user's posts/media programatically? Everywhere in the documentation it says "User data" but it feels like I can only get data of the user that got authenticated using the API. I've set up a Facebook dev account and currently spending 4th hour on calling both APIs without success. Can anyone who has used them help me clear this up?
Most likely, Instagram API Date 365, a tool I currently work for, may help you as an alternative to using Instagram Basic Display API or the Instagram Graph API because this API is created especially for scraping bulk data about posts and users.
You can get such post data as post content (text, language, list of hashtags, list of tagged users), owner ID, location ID,
engagement info, etc. Also, it is possible to download comments (selected or on a specific post) and replies to them.

I am working on facebook api. I can get total impression and clicks etc. data from facebook campaigns stats report. But my requirement is to get each impression in individual line. For example if campaign stats report shows 100 impression than I want to know 100 impression individually where they shown. Can anybody help me how I achieve this functionality of facebook marketing api.
Thanks
Hej,
You can breakdown the data by platform, device and such (check Facebook API Documentation about Breakdowns ) but as far as I am aware the API always aggregates Views that come from the same source or occurred in the same timeframe.
I've been experimenting with the Facebook Marketing API to see what I can access in terms of the user's campaigns, ad sets and ads etc. One thing I'm curious by, through the API, is it possible to get the customised columns that the user has selected when viewing metrics for their campaigns, ad sets or ads?
For example, the user has selected to see only Delivery, Cost and Budget metrics for their ad sets. Can I somehow know they've picked these columns from the API alone?
You can't. The Ads manager on Facebook is just another app using the Marketing API (same goes for Power editor, Graph API explorer and others).
Settings of the Ads manager aren't part of ad account data and are private to the app.
I would like to automatically download the facebook insights related to traffic coming from notifications (to be specific just app notifications, not users).
Obviousley i can see the data from the Insights Dashboard (under Insights -> Traffic -> Notifications). I can also export the CSV from there.
But i need to access those data autoamtically, using FQL or the graph api.
It does not seem to be possible from i can see in the documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/insights/
Did anyone manage to access those data not from the Insights Dashboard?
Thanks
I want to add the 'Log in with Facebook' option to my website, however I'm unsure how to integrate the information gained when someone logs into my website with Facebook with my current Google Analytics.
Is it possible to link up a visit in Google Analytics with a user who has logged into the site with Facebook to enable me to see things like age, gender etc?
Any help you can give me on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
you may have to do this via a redirection or possibly a frame.
Google Analytics does nolt track individual users, it provides anonymized data. So at the top level, no you cannot do this. However, there are a few more things avaiable to you. One: Facebook provides facebook insights, their own tracking suite, that will give you demographic information on the users of a facebook app or fan page. You site will effectively become a facebook app when you use their user authenication, so you will be able to get insights tracking on you site. At the present moment, facebook insights and google analyitcs do not itegrate or share data. Facebook insight also provides anonymized data, so you will not be able to identify an individual through the tracking.
The final option is, now that you are tracking users through login, you can implement your own tracking info on your site to see what individual users are doing, and attempt to track their preferences.
Its also entirely legal (in the United States at least) to buy access to marketing data and use use your registered user name pool to get additional information.
If you wanted, you could set up a "funnel" in Google.
When a user logs in through Facebook, you could send them to a specific page and then track their progress from there...
http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=55515
So using this you could get the percentage of users who log in through Facebook... etc.
But to collect information other than that, you would have to get the correct permissions documented here eg. user_birthday (to get the user's Birthday) and query the Graph API from there, thus implementing your own tracking of users.
You can query the Graph API using the various SDKs that Facebook provide explained here.
First of all you should check out this Google document. It explains, how you set a custom unique user id via google analytics.
Further you've to send an event to google analytics (e.g. 'fb_login') via the callback function of your facebook login function.
