Facebook platform update: real-time insights, Offers API

Facebook announced updates to the Insights API and Pages API this week in a post on the company’s developer blog.

Real-time insights — A number of page post metrics will now be available in “real-time.” Previously, page owners could see likes, comments and shares as they happened, but other insights, such as impressions and negative feedback, were only available two days after a post was published. Now the following insights will be refreshed every 15 minutes:

  • page_storytellers
  • post_stories
  • post_storytellers
  • post_stories_by_action_type
  • post_storytellers_by_action_type
  • post_impressions
  • post_impressions_unique
  • post_impressions_paid
  • post_impressions_paid_unique
  • post_impressions_organic
  • post_impressions_organic_unique
