Facebook Page Insights

Last updated on Aug 29, 2025

From Release 2.39.3, Hevo uses v23.0 of the Marketing API to fetch data from Facebook Pages. The upgrade process was seamless, with no downtime for your Pipelines. However, you may need to reauthorize Hevo for existing Pipelines. Refer to section, Configuring Facebook Pages as a Source for the authorization steps.


This change applies to all new and existing Pipelines created with this Source.

Facebook Pages uses Facebook’s Marketing API to fetch insights data for a Facebook page as a whole (such as followers and impressions), and for page posts (such as likes, shares, comments, and video plays). You can replicate the data of one or multiple Facebook pages, including details such as posting and activity history, page insights including page views, post impressions, and insights on posted stories or Ads to a Destination database or data warehouse using Hevo Pipelines.

The Facebook Pages admin user must authorize Hevo to access the Facebook Pages APIs for reading the page and posts-related insights data for the selected pages.

Note: The data is ingested only for posts made by the page owner.


Limitations

  • All page data is limited to the past two years due to Facebook Pages API limitations.

    Note: To fetch data for daily_page or unique_page metrics for a period more than three months, change the position of the object to any past date up till two years from the current date, in the Pipeline Overview page.

  • Hevo does not load data from a column into the Destination table if its size exceeds 16 MB, and skips the Event if it exceeds 40 MB. If the Event contains a column larger than 16 MB, Hevo attempts to load the Event after dropping that column’s data. However, if the Event size still exceeds 40 MB, then the Event is also dropped. As a result, you may see discrepancies between your Source and Destination data. To avoid such a scenario, ensure that each Event contains less than 40 MB of data.
