Facebook Insights Date Error

[Human]

Whenever I try to query anything by a UNIX datetime in Python, it gives me this error: GraphAPIError: (#100) Must be a unixtime or a date/time representation parseable by strtotime()

When I do the same query in the Graph Explorer, I get the intended result.

Here is my query:  "/PAGE_NAME/insights/page_fan_adds?limit=10&until=1391848971&since=1391244171"

What is wrong?

Also, the query above works on the facepy package...but I really want it to work for this one.

Could you provide a short snippet of code that would trigger this error?

It would also help if you could provide details about what version of the SDK
and Python you are using.

Sure thing.

The SDK version is 0.4.0

Python is 2.7.5 anaconda 

import facebook # pip install facebook-sdk

import json

# Create a connection to the Graph API with your access token

g = facebook.GraphAPI("TOKEN_ACCESS")

def pp(o): 

    print json.dumps(o, indent=1)

pp(g.get_object("/PAGE_NAME/insights/page_fan_adds?since=1391244171&until=1391848971"))

Can you try:

> g.get_object(
> "/PAGE_NAME/insights/page_fan_adds",
> since=1391244171,
> until=1391848971)

If you need to add items to a query string with the SDK, you need to use *args
or **kwargs (depending on the method) - they are escaped and converted in the
"request" method.

This worked. Thanks.

Additional question: Does Facebook-SDK package have anything that handles pagination to the next page of results?

I don't think there is a canonical way of doing this with the package at the moment.
