Would a Data Studio Facebook Page Connector Save You Time?

Facebook Page Insights and Google Data Studio

Facebook Page Insights is part of Facebook's graph application programing interface, or Graph API for short, for the data associated with your Facebook page. Facebook's description of the Pages Insights Api states: "The Graph API is the primary way to get data into and out of the Facebook platform. It's a low-level HTTP-based API that apps can use to programmatically query data" Using our Google Data Studio connector you can query the data associated with any Facebook page you have access to. You can find out ages and genders of users along with a wide range of engagement metrics. Here are some examples of important and interesting metrics that you can extract by combined Data Relate, Google Data Studio and FAcebook ads insights.

• page_impressions - "The number of times any content from your Page or about your Page entered a person's screen. This includes posts, check-ins, ads, social information from people who interact with your Page and more."
• page_consumptions - "The number of times people clicked on any of your content."
• page_video_views - "Total number of times page's videos have been viewed for more than 3 seconds."
