Import Facebook post likes

Hi,

 

I'm using the Facebook connector to import some data from my Facebook pages such as page likes, but we would really like to import the number of post likes as well. I've already read some stuff about updates for examples and seen older items how to import them. But, when I'm using the recommended steps the table seems empty without any data or content.

 

Would be great if someone could help me how to import the number of post likes as well? Don't have to import their names or some if that's in threat with e.g. GDPR or some, just the number of post likes. You would help me a lot!

    Hi Anonymous ,

    Based on my searching, Facebook haven't provided an official API to get these data, but we can find some third party API, we can try to use Python script to get data from these API, PowerBI supports Python script.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Anonymous ,

    Based on my test, I also found that it returns a blank page to me when I'm trying to import like data.

    As mentioned by the reminder page of Facebook connector, this connector is based on a thord-party service, features may vary over time.

    Best Regards,

      Hi TeigeGao ,

       

      Thanks for your reply and understood this as well.

      But, there isn't any other solution to import them?
