I'm trying to obtain impressions of my ads between two dates
I'm using Graph API Explorer with this path:
act_0123456789/ads?fields=insights{ad_id,ad_name,impressions}
I want to use 'time_range' attribute that we can find it in Marketing API reference but I don't know the syntax. Anyone can help me?
You can access Page Insights by typing /insights after the name of your page in the URL field. This command will retrieve all of the Insights associated with your Page. Type "/insights" after your company name. Click the Submit button.
You can choose up to three individual parameters like a channel, age, or a traffic source. First, you need to choose an event from which you want to see a data breakdown. And then select the relevant parameters you desire. Using breakdowns, you can more easily understand the relationship between users and events.
What can the Facebook Marketing API do? The Marketing API is an HTTP-based API that you can use to query data, create and manage ads, and perform a wide variety of other tasks. The Marketing API can programmatically access Facebook's advertising platform and optimize your business operations.
I can't comment on the approach you're using as I have not used it myself. However, here is an alternative approach which I have used with success:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/act_xyz/insights?level=<yourLevel>&fields=ad_id,ad_name,impressions&time_range[since]=2016-02-15&time_range[until]=2016-02-16&limit=25
where <yourLevel>
can be one of: ad
, adset
, campaign
Also note that I am using straight up http requests in java which is why I show you the request itself. Hopefully you can extrapolate to your own solution.
Using the same endpoint you've shown in your question
act_0123456789/ads?fields=insights{ad_id,ad_name,impressions}
The way to specify a time range would be
act_0123456789/ads?fields=insights.time_range({"since":"2017-08-07","until":"2017-08-14"}){ad_id,ad_name,impressions}
(of course, those two dates are provided just as an example)
