Facebook Data limit results

Hi, I've been experimenting the Facebook data source and unfortunately, I cannot import data coming from a page that has too many posts. Is there any way to limit the query or bypass it ?

Thanks !

Go custom and put something like this:

Posts?limit=10

I'm having success with this:

   Source = Facebook.Graph("https://graph.facebook.com/FAMOUS_SITE/posts?since=2016-02-20&limit=10"),

 

I'm not sure why it works as i'm getting back more posts than "limit=10" but at least i'm not getting the "DataSource.Error: Facebook: Please reduce the amount of data you're asking for, then retry your request" error:

 

 

I believe the limit value is the number of lines of data per database call.
