Facebook page insights not working

Hello,

 

I am trying to get data from Facebook insights for a specific page.

I followed all the step from the one and only tutorial I found on the web:

 

https://datachant.com/2016/02/10/facebook-page-insights-with-power-bi/

 

However, I keep getting this error message:1.PNG

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know that my facebook login credentials are correct, and I've tried multiple accounts and different pages. Always the same error.

Here is what I use as parameters (I just replace PageID with the actual page ID):

Is there something I am doing wrong? Was this feature removed?

 

Thank you, and have a great day

@Anonymous,

In the comments at the bottom of the blog you post, the author said that this method is no longer supported via the Facebook connector due to Facebook API changes. You can use web connector to work around this issue.

Hi so power bi facebook connector doesn't work anymore I think the best solution for this is to use a third-party connector which is pretty easy to set up and automate, especially since they have free templates you can choose from.

You can try this one :

And here is the link to connect Facebook ads to power bi: https://windsor.ai/connect-facebook-ads-to-power-bi/
