I want to know how facebook gets live updates from the server. Did some analysis and found it use some sort of channels which keeps on dying and generating like
0-143.channel.facebook.com
Please give your ideas what it could be.
Thanks

Facebook uses javascript to pitch an ajax request to their servers at a specified time frame say like every 60 seconds or so and updates your UI accordingly if there's been updates.
get started http://jquery.com/ and more specifically http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

I'm using React and Firebase, and when I check the usage on Firestore, I see a lot of request being made. The problem is that I'm not the only one using it, so I don't know if most of them are mine or not. Is there anyway (using console maybe?) to know how many request I'm doing?
There is currently no way to track the source of reads and write happening in Firestore. You can only see the total volume of those requests in the console.
I have to create script to create adsets and ads for a facebook campaign and I have to do it for a lot of items. For now, i can create every needed entity but there is a big problem, the rate limit. I reach it pretty quick (I can create like 15 items before getting a rate limit exception) and this is very limitating, creating eveything by hand is actually much faster... I want to apply to the next level of rate limitation but I can't. One of my coworker contacted someone from facebook and we were told we did not make any API call using my app ID. Since I am able to create a campaigns, adsets, ads... and we can see those in power editor I don't understand what is going on.
What my dashboard looks like
We will need to be able to create everything using the API really soon so, after some research, I try asking the question here. Did I miss something when creating my app ?
You probably want to go through the official request to promote your app from a Basic level to a Standard level. The level for your app determines how heavily it is rate limited. Details here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/access
It sounds as if you have not make your official request in app dashboard. It's possible we evaluated your number of API calls before you reached the threshold, or the data we are able to see on your API calls was from an earlier time period when you did not consistently reach the boundary.
You could also be hitting rate limits due to your error rates.
You can apply here, and if needed, reapply: https://www.facebook.com/business/standardadsapi?attachment_canonical_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fbusiness%2Fstandardadsapi
I'm having a problem with the events I'm sending to Facebook Insights. I've got about 15 custom events I'm sending, and they all carry a data object that is pretty consistent between all the events. 10 of the events show up with the data object working fine (see graphic User Logged In/Out events), and for the rest, I'm getting "No data is available for the current selection." (see graphic Story Played/Selected events).
I believe with one event I shortened the Event Type, and the data started displaying properly. I tried this with other events, and that didn't fix the problem. Has anyone had this sort of problem before, and could you please comment about your solution?
I'm using Adobe AIR for mobile, running on Android, using the Milkman Games GoViral ANE. Another important factor here is that I'm sending these exact same events to a different analytics service - Mixpanel. All the events look correct on Mixpanel, so I'm pretty sure I'm sending them out properly. My assumption at the moment is that Facebook doesn't like something specific about some of my events.
I'm interested in any comments about this general kind of issue, regardless of platform or implementation, to see if I can figure out what's going wrong. I know my app setup is not so common, so for the sake of this question I'd like to ignore that for the time being.
Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.
I answered my own question. It turns out Facebook Insights events have a limit of 10 properties per event. Once I reduced the data being sent, the other events started tracking properly.
I am developing an app with unity using parse. Now, I know I can increase the req/s limit but I wouldn't like to make it in advance. The question is : how can I get notified (email maybe) if the limit is reached at some point.
I first tried to get the 155 code and call a url from unity that than notifies my via script. Later I found out in Unity can only get error code -1 (Other cause); So i am looking for another solution, cloud code, parse sends me email.
I know I can access the data and see if the limit was reached in the dashboard but I cannot be watching that 24h a day (maybe there is any way to query that data?)
Thanks in Advance
not sure but you can use robot like script may be written in such a way which will keep hitting your dashboard and a check a specific parameter in the dashboard. Once the parameter excides some value it will trigger an automated email to you.
This is how we check the health of our application in terms of App up\App down\App usages.

I recently developed an app using the Instagram API, But I faced some problems with it. (I got struck)
This app is not calling the api and getting images in the real-time. Instead, it calls the api once a week and store images in the database based on a specific hashtag. I see that their api is designed in a way to call it in real time and pull images, because it has this "recent" in its url, and it only provides 20 results. So every time a user reaches the end, it will load the next 20, until u reach the end.
However, in my case, When I pull the images every week, at one point, I will reach to the oldest image, and from that point I will be stopped, because Im going from Newest to the oldest. So I want to get data as from oldest to newest.( Actually I want to get the opposite of what's offered by instagram.) They have not provided any option to sort them in their docs.
Im thinking of a solution for this, but I can't wrap my head around it. So I will be much thankful if you guys can direct me in the right path.
I searched Google, viewed old questions in SO, but I didn't find the answer.
Edit : Im planning to fetch data starting from the Oldest one like this. (Since I know the min_tag_id, because I ran this once completely).
https://api.instagram.com/v1/tags/my_tag/media/recent?&client_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&min_tag_id=1408983759354183
where min_tag_id is of the oldest image. So everytime I will be calling to the min_tag_id. Is it a good solution?
Yes, using the min_tag_id and max_tag_id is the solution.
Have a look at this answer: Instagram Search for a tag within particular date range
