Insights Example

[Samir Issa]

Hi ,

how could I reproduce this, 

https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/999577163512356/insights/?metric=page_fan_adds_unique%2Cpage_fan_adds&access_token=MY ACCESS TOKEN

I always get error :

Exception in thread "main" com.restfb.exception.FacebookOAuthException: Received Facebook error response of type OAuthException: An access token is required to request this resource. (code 104, subcode null)

My code  :

   public void getInsights() {

       

     

     facebookClient29 = new DefaultFacebookClient("ACCESS_KEY", Version.VERSION_2_9);

                Connection<Insight> insights = facebookClient29.fetchConnection(

                        "999577163512356/insights/?metric=page_fan_adds_unique,page_fan_adds", 

                        Insight.class);

                int count = 0;

                for (List<Insight> insight : insights) {

                  for (Insight insight1 : insight) {

                      //id,created_time,message,from

                        LOG.info("Insight Id: " + insight1.getPeriod() );

                        LOG.info("Insight Title: " + insight1.getName());

                        

                        count++;

                    }

                }

                LOG.info("Total Attachments: " + count);

    }

Hi Samir,

please try this code:

facebookClient29 = new DefaultFacebookClient("ACCESS_KEY"

, Version.VERSION_2_9);

Connection<Insight> insights = facebookClient29.fetchConnection(
                        "999577163512356/insights", 
                        Insight.class, 
                        Parameter.with("metric", "page_fan_adds_unique,page_fan_adds"));

int count = 0;
for (List<Insight> insightList : insights) {
    for (Insight insight : insightList) {
        LOG.info("Insight Id: " + insight.getPeriod());
        LOG.info("Insight Title: " + insight.getName());

        count++;
     }
}
LOG.info("Total Insights: " + count);

This is not tested, but gives an idea how it should work. BTW if this is the solution (and I think so :)) you can drop a short note, because I add this important information to our documentation for other developers running in this problem.

Cheers
Norbert

hi , 

It works fine , just change to this data :

                    LOG.info("Insight Name: " + insight.getName());

                    LOG.info("Insight Period: " + insight.getPeriod());

                    List<JsonObject> json = insight.getValues();

                    LOG.info("value :"+json.get(0).get("value"));

                    LOG.info("end_time :"+json.get(0).get("end_time"));

                    LOG.info("value :"+json.get(1).get("value"));

                    LOG.info("end_time :"+json.get(1).get("end_time"));

                    LOG.info("Insight Tittle: " + insight.getTitle());

Are these insights not yet mapped in the API?

thank you

Hi Samir, 

There is no description of the "InsightResult" in the Graph API reference, so we have to reverse engineer the structure. Therefore we used the less error-prone way and return JsonObject lists.

Feel free to provide some example and we can built types for these, too.

Cheers,

Norbert
