Facebook Page Likes

Try to use the field since as a parameter in the URL. More details here.

Procyon82, try to use the field since as a parameter in the URL. More details here.

I tried that using unix timestamp, but it just gives me today's total page likes. How do others answer questions regarding page like growth? It can't be that hard...

Did you try using the Web connector and Insights/page_fans directly?

As in using https://www.facebook.com/XXX/insights/page_fans_count ? It tells me not a valid URL.

procyon82, I used a wrong metric name. I meant page_fans as I shown above.

That's better...how can I get it to spit out monthly values?

      "values": [
        {
          "value": 7215,
          "end_time": "2016-08-25T07:00:00+0000"
        },
        {
          "value": 7220,
          "end_time": "2016-08-26T07:00:00+0000"
        },
        {
          "value": 7221,
          "end_time": "2016-08-27T07:00:00+0000"
        }

I'm having trouble getting the since function to work in conjunction with the access token... can you provide how you would modify the below to include a since period? 

let
    YourFacebookObjectName = "datachantblog",
    YourAccessToken = "Get the token from Facebook Graph Explorer, or APIGEE",
    Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.7/" & YourFacebookObjectName & "/insights/page_fans?access_token=" & YourAccessToken)),
    data = Source[data],
    #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(data, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
    #"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"values"}, {"values"}),
    #"Expanded values" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Expanded Column1", "values"),
    #"Expanded values1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded values", "values", {"value", "end_time"}, {"value", "end_time"})
in
    #"Expanded values1"

Dear sarafenwick

You can modify the line below and add the "since=2016-12-31" as a URL parameter after the question mark:

 Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.7/" & YourFacebookObjectName & "/insights/page_fans?since=2016-12-31&access_token=" & YourAccessToken)),
