Facebook statistics

JesperNyholm — Wed, 25 May 2016 14:06:10 GMT

I want to create statistics regarding the use of our company Facebook profile.

Using Facebook as source, in SASA VA, doesn’t provide us with much information compared what I can see with my own eyes.

I can’t see how many followers that we have or how many likes a certain post receives.

Do any of you know a way to gather more statistics from Facebook, using SAS VA SAS Enterprise guide or base SAS?

Best regards

Jesper

Hi Jesper, SAS VA gathers text primarily for text analysis in this case, although some statistics are included. For more statistics, you may want to export csv from your Facebook Insights or use the Facebook Insights Pages API (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/platforminsights/page https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.6/insights)

Best,
