Getting Metrics
Problem
I want to retrieve my app’s daily metrics for yesterday.
Solution
The Admin.getMetrics()
method will return metrics for daily, weekly, or monthly
periods:
$targetMetrics = array('active_users'); $monthAgo = strtotime('yesterday') - 24*60*60*29; $yesterday = strtotime('yesterday'); $oneDay = $facebook->api_client->admin_getMetrics($monthAgo, $yesterday, 86400, $targetMetrics); $sevenDays = $facebook->api_client->admin_getMetrics($monthAgo, $yesterday, 604800, $targetMetrics); $thirtyDays = $facebook->api_client->admin_getMetrics($monthAgo, $yesterday, 2592000, $targetMetrics);

the specific metrics you’re looking for (you have to use an array,
even if you only want one back, or you’ll get a long error message
about needing an array). The period
parameter, also expressed in epoch seconds, defines the period
you want to receive metrics for: one day (86400 seconds), seven days
(604800 seconds), or 30 days (2592000 seconds). See Formatting Relative Time for more information about epoch
time. Your return value will always be a multidimensional array (which
makes sense, since you’re requesting an array), with each item
containing a date and the specified metric. If you requested a one-day
period of active_users
and did a
PHP print_r
on that array, you
might see:
Array ( [0] => Array ( [active_users] => 1234340 ) )
There are quite a few metrics you ...
