I saw a post in FB developer's help forum. Looks like the closest one got closed unresolved :(

I never heard back from Power BI devs neither...

    I think the problem is with Power BI, because I have no trouble pulling the data from R

     

    library(Rfacebook)
    getInsights(object_id="Put your object id here"
    ,token = "Put your token here"
    ,metric = 'page_impressions'
    ,period = "day"
    , parms = "&since=2016-05-01"
    , version = 2.6
    )

      Yes, with token there is no problem, but there was a possibility to get insights from Facebook just by passing the metric you want to analyse. Of course, you have to be an admin of Facebook page. 

       

      problem with token is that token expires, and you have to get new token. But my customer doesn't want to check for new tokens. She just want to get insights from the page.
