Extracting Facebook post data - is it possible to define a date range?

Hi all,

I want to extract date from the Facebook API, specifically link clicks from page posts:

This query gives me the most recent 100 posts -
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/<pageid>/posts?fields=insights.metric(post_consumptions_by_type_unique),link&limit=100

However, when I try to define a date range, I still only get the most recent posts -
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/<pageid>/posts?fields=insights.metric(post_consumptions_by_type_unique),link&limit=100?since={date.addMonths(-2).startOfMonth.format()}&until={date.today}

First - is it even possible to make such a query or is there a restriction on this type of query.
Second - any suggestions as to how to extract this data, so I can make 7, 30, or longer day comparisons.
best,
John.

 

Some times it is not possible to do such type of things in a manner of working

 

Yes actually you can. Instead of using "post" use the "message" handle after the userid. You should then add the handle _timecreated_. It will then let you scroll through a list of time created message events. Of course you would need an access token. Hope this works for you.
