Facebook going over the 100 limit on posts

Hello community. First post here so please bare with me.

 

I'm using the facebook for developers page to get the URL for the Facebook Graph and then using that to gather information to Power BI. Using the Get Data - Facebook doesn't provide all the information needed so I used this method instead.

 

The problem I've been having is that i cannot get over 100 posts, the limit is 100. Is there a way to get all of the posts? I really need information on a facebook page (for wich I have administrator clearence) since the page was created.

 

Thanks in advance.

    The limit is set by facebook API.

    In this case, instead of choose "Posts" or any other connection, Choose a blank connection instead.

     

    Then in the advanced Editor, append the extra url

    You don't worry about limit=100, it would finally retrieve all posts information from facebook.

    The limit only affect how many records the API returns in each call.

     

     

    Best Regards
