Facebook Page Insights

Last updated on Sep 03, 2024

From Release 2.25, Hevo has upgraded to v19.0 of the Marketing API. You may need to reauthorize Hevo for existing Pipelines. Refer to section, Configuring Facebook Pages as a Source for the authorization steps.


The new API version has removed the following Page Insights metrics:

Page Insights Category Page Insights Metrics
Page Video Views - page_video_views_10s
- page_video_views_10s_paid
- page_video_views_10s_organic
- page_video_views_10s_autoplayed
- page_video_views_10s_click_to_play
- page_video_views_10s_unique
- page_video_views_10s_repeat
Page Video Posts - post_video_views_10s
- post_video_views_10s_unique
- post_video_views_10s_autoplayed
- post_video_views_10s_clicked_to_play
- post_video_views_10s_organic
- post_video_views_10s_paid
- post_video_views_10s_sound_on


Note: Hevo does not ingest any new data for the metrics listed in the table above, so the corresponding Destination tables are also not updated.

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.
