Facebook Posts Table Column Limited on API v2.8
Hi Jon,
That is right, we updated our Facebook API's to v2.8.
As per the facebook documentation, since v2.4, "Nodes in the Graph API will return fewer fields by default. Use the 'fields' param to explicitly ask for the set of fields you want. If you ask for an explicit set of fields, the response will not contain any extra fields that you did not ask for".
As of now, we don't pull in any additional fields. So, if you want "type", "name" fields, you could do something like
= Facebook.Graph("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/me/posts?fields=type,name")
Thanks,
Suvidha

Hi Suvidha,
Thank you for the quick reply. This makes sense. Just out of curiousity, are there any plans to expose that list of parameters in a listbox, so the user could choose which fields to add to the query? I'm guessing it takes a lot of work to keep up with the Graph API, but this would be nice to have in Power BI.
Thanks again! :-)
