I am sending various events from my Unity iOS game to Facebook analytics and logging them. I can see all the events being registered properly. Till few days back I was able to see breakdown of events into sections like country, gender, region,etc. But now in place of details like how many downloads per country the breakdown is showing Redacted.
Has anyone faced this problem? What can be the cause of this?
This is most likely because the user count for the date range you're querying has dropped below 100 users. Demographic data is redacted below that level to protect user identity. For some reports (page likes, household income etc) the redaction level is slightly higher at 1000 users.

Is it possible to get Share Count as well the actions count for likes, ahah, dislike etc via the Facebook API / Marketing insights?
So far I'm able to get this data for posts(which are related to ads if promoted), but this is a lifetime metric I can't have the numbers in a daily basis, unless I calculate it by doing the difference once I have the data.
Also, I would never now, if the likes are being made by someone who saw my post somewhere because its promoted, or if that person went directly to my page.
Is there any way to achieve this results?
If you look at the actions field in insights, you should see a field called post_reaction which is the total number of reactions for your ad in the requested timeframe.
To get a daily breakdown, use time_increment=1 and time_range to specify the date range.
I don't believe we provide breakdowns on the different reaction types however.

I'm not one of the Facebook Developer, but I need some data for my thesis, regarding one group in Facebook which I'm currently observing.
The problem is, I must collect the data within the last 6 months of:
how many members have joined in the last 6 months, if possible, can be split by monthly.
how many postings in the group in the last 6 months, also.. if possible split by monthly
how many active users within the last 6 months.
Can somebody give me some hints of how to collect those information?
You're going to have a hard time doing this. Groups aren't very API friendly, and they don't have their own insights information.
You can try browsing the group's feed using the Graph API Explorer using the /GROUP_NAME_OR_ID/feed edge, and adding since and until filters to look at monthly data.
However, you won't see all the posts because of Facebook privacy filtering. To get the most reliable data, you'll need to manually count the entries of interest from within the Facebook webapp.
I need your expert advice on this one.
I have been asked to analyse a potential Facebook application.
This application is a parental monitoring for kids accounts. Basically it will search a kid status message for specific keywords amongst others things. And this application will alert the parents when it finds something.
Of course this application will have a valid token to access the kid's data. This is not a tool to spy on the kid.
I am using the Graph API coupled with the 'since' keyword to get the last updates. It's working fine with a single user.
My question is about scalability.
How should I get updates of a huge number of kids to monitor? (between 10,000 and 100,000 accounts)
And for each kids I have to monitor status messages, videos, images, friend, friends' status messages...
Here are some numbers:
~2.1M requests each day to get hourly updates of 10,000 kids' account.
~57.8M requests each day to get hourly updates of 10,000 kids'account plus their friends', with an average of 40 friends each.
And as I read here, it would be limited.
So what do you reckon?
ps: Maybe with real-time updates I won't have this problem or would it be worse?
Yes I would subscribe to real-time updates so as an account gets updated you get a callback and then you get the latest updates. This would avoid the overhead of constantly polling accounts for updates. You will need to get an offline_access token for this to work as well.
I want to find out how many app users I have from a specific country. I know insights will show me how many users I have in each of my top twenty countries, but does anyone know how to find out your total number of app users from a country that is not in your application's top twenty?
Your options are basically:
Check the user's current IP with something like GeoIP
... I did some testing with GeoIP in the past, but the results didn't really convince me
Implement analytics code (I'm currently using Google Analytics)
If, and only IF this information is absolutely critical then you should look into the "user_location" and "user_hometown" permissions.
PS: Remember to update your Privacy Policy if you are going to do anything with the user's IP
We are building a system that seeks to calculate and score the value of information and users of information - based on the interaction between the two.
To do this, we need to track and measure these interactions. We are working on different ways - from connecting your social services and monitoring them (hard to scale and requires very patient users happy to connect services) to explicit tracking having a bookmarklet ala digg that user can trigger whenever she is on a piece of information (basically, content) that she wants included in her score.
What we'd really like is a tool that could do something like;
monitor all activity of a person across all networks (read, watch, comment, post, tweet, author, etc) and actively sit in the users browser and 'listen and report' back to HQ anytime a defined activity takes place.
Suggestions?
If you want to monitor the Social network activities for ex. Facebook, you need to take the authentication from the user like read/friends list etc. and fetch the updates from facebook with in specific interval of time and report same to HQ.
The same thing you need to report for other networking sites.
Each network sites may have different APIs you need collect and take the permission of the users (like signin).
Hope it helps.
