This article outlines recommendations and notes certain limitations imposed by the data source API, which you may need to consider when building your queries.
If you are connecting to this data source, please follow the instructions in our <connection guide>, and the available fields for this connector are listed in the <metrics and dimensions documentation>.
Request limits and recommended refresh rate
Request limit: For shared URLs, 10 GET requests per URL, per app, per hour.
Historical range
With the Facebook Public Data data source connector, the data is available for approximately 600 ranked, published posts per year. This is due to the page feed limitation from the data source API
Accounts in Facebook Public Data
The Facebook Public Data data source connector supports fetching data from an unlimited number of accounts.
Things to consider
Post comment count
The data source API only returns top-level comments, not sub-level comments. What is reported in the data source UI is a total of all comments, and may not match if the post includes many sub-level comments.
Time Zone
By default, queries are run in Helsinki time. You will need to set the time zone of your query to match the time zone of the account you are fetching data from in Google Sheets or Excel. Looker Studio does not support manual time zone settings.
