I haven't done any programming in a while and I'm a newbie to using the FB API. Therefore, before I dive into it, I wanted to find out 1) if what's trying to be done is possible (and how) and 2) if so, could someone point me to resources that could help me get the task done?
1-Is it possible to programmatically capture all events that have happened in a group that I manage on FB (e.g., number of members, number of posts by member X, number of likes by member X, shares, views, etc.)? If so, does this require a simple script (php, python, java) that can be run at any time or a more complex FB application?
2-Are there any resources that you could suggest I refer to before starting the task (assuming this can be done)?
I would appreciate any help. Thanks!
I've addressed my own question. For others that may find this beneficial, check out the Graph API: developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference and common user scenarios: developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/common-scenarios.

New to AdMob and trying to understand compliance as it relates to providing and deleting collected user data to a user upon request from purely programming standpoint.
In my research, it appears that there is an API for the user to at least delete the data. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/userdeletion/v3/ being the most helpful so far though not specifically particularly helpful in code examples. This would probably be accomplished either by the developer using the client ID manually or via the developer's app -> user deletion API.
Assuming one of the two approaches is the proper way the industry is currently handling this, how is this typically handled in Swift (ideally via SwiftUI not UIKit but I can follow along either way)? Please note I am not asking how to set up AdMob in general, or how to use UMP to provide GDPR consent, or what anything related to legal/compliance beyond programming.
If there is some other, more preferred option, please let me know that as well.
Thus far I have researched the differences in client ID and user ID from an end user perspective. Code-wise, I am unsure where to start until understanding which approach to take as dictated by the answers above. I have also looked into exposing the client ID vs various items that might be used as a generic device ID but am unsure how best to obtain this as well.
Thanks!
I'm learning about Google Analytics for Unity and also learning about Google Analytics in general. For some games, it would be really useful to have page views:
Imagine your game has 20 levels. You want to track what level people get to before they quit because that correlates to how engaged they were and how fun the game is.
As you can see above, the Audience Overview already has a Pages / Session metric. If you could define each level in a game as a page, then the Pages / Session would give you a lot of useful information.
Unfortunately, I don't see a way to set pages in the reference documentation. Does anyone know how I could do this? Is it really easy to make something equivalent with a custom metric/dimension?
To summarize, there are two different answers that would help me and I'd accept either:
A way to use this plugin to define page views
A way to use this plugin to give me something equivalent to Pages / Session (i.e., Levels / Session). But, I'd like an answer for this to include how to view the Levels / Session, not just collect the data.
I figured this out. The mistake I made is creating a GA view of type "Website." I should have created one of type "App." The difference is explained here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2649553#WebVersusAppViews
The plugin has the ability to send ScreenName's which are effectively PageViews. But, unless my view is setup as App, GA won't really give any reports that show the ScreenNames.
So, it was a matter of creating a new view, then sending ScreenNames as described here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/unity/v4/reference#screen-basic
How does one block/ban one user from a SoundCloud group via REST API?
Logic:
Though not in the docs (but then again, lots of other wrong info is there), one would expect that this should work:
DEL api.soundecloud.com/groups/{id}/members/{member_id}
Note:
Taught by my previous experience, I did not venture into testing any of my ideas since there is probably no way to guess how developers got it implemented, if implemented at all.
Does anyone know if Facebook Connect can be set up where the pass variable can be set up so users can be segmented into different groups in advance so that insights from the app can be pulled in a way that also reflects those segmentations?
It's essentially similar to running multiple apps off of a single app ID.
If not, does anyone know if app IDs can be dynamically created? I know as of a couple years ago, this wasn't possible, but was curious if anyone knows if this has changed in recent time.
As an aside, we have a self service platform and are looking for a way to automate, but also to segment the Facebook connect insights data. So if anyone has any other ideas, have done it on the software side, or know of any plugins that may to help, that'd be really helpful.
Thanks!
When you're logged in, in the page source, there is a list called OrderedFriendsListInitialData.
According to rumour, it's a list of people that visit your profile the most, others say that it's a list of profiles you view the most, and yet other say it's the friends you interact with the most.
Can anyone shed some light on this by providing a definitive answer, or at least an educated one?
If You check the code You will notice it has something to do with right sidebar. Just before it in there is this url https://s-static.ak.facebook.com/rsrc.php/yT/r/q-Drar4Ade6.ogg
As it is JSON string obviously it has to be related, file this url is pointing at is sound notification for chat.
As You may notice it is initial data not chat list probably later chat script use this data to fill up people on list and make some extra check etc..
There is word ordered as well, Myself I'm not really active on facebook so have no way of checking it but it is known that fb analyses all Your steps and make this list based on thousands of factors to provide You with list of users You are likely to chat.
You father may be there because fb knows You are family and consider it as high possibility of conversation.
Send email to them If You want details.
Well in the time passed since you first posted this they've changed the name of the list to InitialChatFriendsList which I suppose is a little more descriptive of what it is, but as far as how they determine what to put on there I think my friends and I have come up with a very plausible explanation.
When determining who you are most likely to communicate with on their chat system, facebook will obviously use a whole number of factors weighted differently to determine who you most want to talk to and who you most need to talk to.
the most important is who you actually talk to... who on fb chat that you communicate with most frequently will obviously show up on your chat list.
who you have public interactions w/ (i.e tagging in at some location, picture tagging, actual wall comments etc.)
Now those two are two very large factors when determining who they put on your list, beyond that it is a combination of who looks at your page and whose page you look at. Based on my list and the list of my friends, we determined that if you are inclined to look at somebody else's page/posts a lot and they are likely to do the same for you, they will move up in rank even if you don't have an actual interactions on facebook. A couple of people who I would admit to "stalking" the most on fb are not even on my list (at least not on the top 50 which is where i stopped checking) while other people who I do occasionally look at and I have reason to believe they would be looking at my profile as well are fairly high on my list (around 10-15th place). And of course there are the completely random individuals who show up on the list who probably are stalkers.
Anyways, my point is there are so many factors that determine who is going to be on this list, you really can't just attribute it all to people who stalk you and people you stalk. While in for some people that would be the case, for most of the people on the list there is a whole list of reasons they're on there.
Of course this is all based on a very small pool of data, so who knows...
I think it may be the list of people who are on the top part of your chat list - the people you're statistically most likely to talk to. But! I may be wrong.
It definitely is the people who facebook considers are the most likely you are going to chat with. There are two lists of people in chat, one of the above, and the other friends who are online.
I believe the first 3 are accurate. When I checked for myself, my boyfriend was one, and my two best friends were 2 & 3. Everything after that seems to be a bit random, because #4 was a person I haven't interacted with for years.
