    Hi pawelj795,

    I'd like to suggest you use a web connector with Facebook API instead. Below is a link with some sample code to use web connector to get data from rest API with authorizations, you can take a look at it if helps.

Fb Connector is gone, but there are services like Windsor.ai to offer to collect and organize your data from various marketing platforms like Facebook Ads and Google Ads, Linked In Twitter, and CRM software like HubSpot, Salesforce, and even Amazon. But, how to do it?

There are two ways you can use your data. You can select the data you want to see in your visualization tool (or use one that the service provides), or you can decide that it is easier to start with the pre-made template. Both approaches are equally good, and it all depends on your preference and expertise level. For beginners, it is always easier to use the templates.
