is there any way to explore the Facebook Graph API by date range? Ex. to find all events on February?
I use following code, but I’m not sure, that’s correct request:
since=2015-01-28T00:00:00%2B0000&until=2015-01-30T00:00:00%2B00000
In this way, I get records for defined date range - ok, but there is missing events – a set is incomplete (despite it doesn’t exceed a limit of API). Why I can’t get all of results for given query?
Maybe do you know another method of filtering results by date?
thanks
There's no way to restrict the search results by since and until as far as I know.
For searching events, you can use the /search endpoint as described at
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api/v2.2#search
but I guess there's no further way to filter the results other than specifying the q parameter.

I'm trying to consume JIRA 2 API and trying to get custom fields. I want to further filter by passing appropriate criteria in URI itself. Current query I'm using is something similar to this:
http://localhost:8522/jira522/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?expand=projects.issuetypes.fields
The result I'm getting from above request is about 2000 lines.. How can I further filter to get only Custom_fields and also under custom fields I need to only the ones which are required?
I'm pretty new to REST API. Please guide me If anything is wrong... TIA. I spent a lot of time browsing but don't know what exactly I need to search for or where exactly I need to get started.
You can use another queryParam just like expand and add further filtering or pagination.
http://localhost:8522/jira522/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?expand=projects.issuetypes.fields&limit=1000
I'm trying to obtain impressions of my ads between two dates
I'm using Graph API Explorer with this path:
act_0123456789/ads?fields=insights{ad_id,ad_name,impressions}
I want to use 'time_range' attribute that we can find it in Marketing API reference but I don't know the syntax. Anyone can help me?
I can't comment on the approach you're using as I have not used it myself. However, here is an alternative approach which I have used with success:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/act_xyz/insights?level=<yourLevel>&fields=ad_id,ad_name,impressions&time_range[since]=2016-02-15&time_range[until]=2016-02-16&limit=25
where <yourLevel> can be one of: ad, adset, campaign
Also note that I am using straight up http requests in java which is why I show you the request itself. Hopefully you can extrapolate to your own solution.
Using the same endpoint you've shown in your question
act_0123456789/ads?fields=insights{ad_id,ad_name,impressions}
The way to specify a time range would be
act_0123456789/ads?fields=insights.time_range({"since":"2017-08-07","until":"2017-08-14"}){ad_id,ad_name,impressions}
(of course, those two dates are provided just as an example)
Easiest way of doing this is
act_0123456789?fields=ads{insights.time_range({"since":"2019-03-03","until":"2019-03-03"}).time_increment(1){impressions}}
Remove .time_increment(1) if you don't want day by day data
you can use {} for subfields like
act_0123456789?fields=campaigns{ads{name,insights,adcreatives{image_url}}}
you can use . and () for parameters like; always make sure you use you use fields only after parameters like this order .(){}
act_0123456789?fields=campaigns.limit(1).time_range({"since":"2019-03-03","until":"2019-03-03"}).time_increment(1).breakdowns(country){ads{name,insights.time_range({"since":"2019-03-03","until":"2019-03-03"}).time_increment(1).breakdowns(country),adcreatives{image_url}}}
For the Marketing API, I know that I'm able to make one call to retrieve all of the adsets from a certain account along with their insights, but am I able to specify the date_preset for the insights edge in that same call?
For example, the following gives me lifetime insights stats:
/v2.4/{accountID}/adcampaigns?fields=insights
To be clear - I know this is possible to retrieve by making separate calls for each adset id (where I know I can specify the date_preset); instead, I'd like to do this via the call where I get a long list of the ad sets plus their insights details in one go.
Yes this is possible using query expansion, however you probably should not do it in this anyway.
Using query expansion results in multiple requests being executed in one HTTP call, in this case one to get all the adcampaigns, and then N requests where N is the number of adcampaigns returned. This will in turn affect your rate limiting.
The most efficient way to request all insights for all adcampaigns (ad sets) is instead to request them at the account level, specifying aggregation level:
/v2.4/act_{ADACCOUNT_ID}/insights?date_preset=last_7_days&level=campaign
This requires just 1 request, or the number of requests to retrieve the total number of pages.
If you really want to achieve this with query expansion, you can do the following for example:
/v2.4/act_{ADACCOUNT_ID}/adcampaigns?fields=insights.date_preset(last_30_days).time_increment(all_days)
You can see the parameters to insights that would normally be query parameters of the form param_name=param_value are now in the form of param_name(param_value).
To specify the date_preset , here is the correct format . Its important to use insights as edge to get the date_preset filtering .
/v2.10/act_{ADACCOUNT_ID}/insights?fields=impressions,clicks,ctr,unique_clicks,unique_ctr,spend,cpc&date_preset=last_3d
The above one is tested with latest Graph Api version(2.10) as of now . FOr more info related to the date_preset values refer to there api docs .

Explanation:
I am able to query the Google Core reporting APIv3 using the client library to get data on pageviews for specific URLs of a website I am working on. I want to get data(pageviews) for each day within a specified range. So far I am simply looping through the range, sending individual request to the API. in each request I am setting the same value for the start date and the end date.
Problem:
Obviously this gets the job done, BUT it is certainly not the best way to go about it. Because, assumming I want to get data for the past 3 months for each of about 2000 URIs. Then I will need 360000 number of requests and that value is well over the limit quota defined by Google.
Potential solution: So one way I thought of solving this issue is probably to send a request setting start-date and end-date to be a week apart but the API will return a sum of the values rather than the individual values.
main question: So is there a way to insist that these values should not be added up and returned as a sum but rather returned (as associative array or something like that) separately for each.
I hope the question is clear and that there is a solution! Thank you!
Very straightforward:
Metric: ga:pageview, Dimension: ga:date, Set a filter for your pagepath, and set a start-date and end-date.
Example:
https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%3Axxyyzz&dimensions=ga%3Adate&metrics=ga%3Apageviews&filters=ga%3Apagepath%3D%3D%2Ffaq.html&start-date=2013-06-27&end-date=2013-07-11&max-results=50
This will return the pageviews for that the faq.html& page for each day in the time-frame.
You should check out the QueryExplorer. Great tool to find out how to structure queries.
I am performing a rest call to facebooks search API using type=event
e.x.
search?fields=id,name,picture,owner,description,start_time,end_time,location,venue,updated_time,ticket_uri&q=concert&type=event
I have looked through the documentation and still have a few questions about specific pagination behavior of the event search API.
If I used a broad search term like "ma" and keep querying the pagination ['next'] URL would I cycle through all facebook events starting with "ma"? Does the pagination array give any indication when there are no more results to return?.
Do these searches include past events? If so is it possible to eliminate past events using the "since" parameter?
What is the maximum for the limit parameter?
Update:
As far as I can tell the number of pages you can get from a facebook search is limited to 500. This includes pages that can be accessed via pagination. In other words a query with limit >=500 will not return a pagination url, likewise a query with limit 250 will only return one pages worth of pagination.
You will "next page" until the count of results comes less then the limit
I'm not sure if that is possible using a simple Graph Request. Maybe using FQL
I don't know exactly. But i used a 2000 limit one day. And it worked.
Other doubts you can get answers testing your resquests with this tool

I am also doing the same thing like you. I am collecting public post using graph search api.
When there are no results available or you reach max limit pagination section will not be there in response. So you can always check for paging is there in json response or not something like this.
NextResult = DeserJsonFBResponce.paging != null ? DeserJsonFBResponce.paging.next : string.Empty;
I am not so sure about this with events but for public post i am able to eliminate post using science and until parameters.
Maximum for the limit parameter is 2000 per get request.
