You can get page insights by using this code and ask for page permissions ('manage_pages','pages_manage_cta') , and get page id first from your likes or managed pages and replace you page id in code with YOUR_PAGE_ID.
use FB php sdk version: facebook-php-sdk-v4-5.0-dev.
$fb = new Facebook\Facebook([
'app_id' => APP_ID,
'app_secret' => APP_SECRET,
'default_graph_version' => 'v2.4', // or use v2.5 latest version
]);
$helper = $fb->getRedirectLoginHelper();
$permissions = ['manage_pages','pages_manage_cta'];
$redirectUrl = 'http://localhost/fbapp.php';
$loginUrl = $helper->getLoginUrl($redirectUrl, $permissions);
echo 'Log in with Facebook!';
After generating login url implement the code for response handling and getting required data.
$helper = $fb->getRedirectLoginHelper();
try {
$accessToken = $helper->getAccessToken();
setcookie('accessToken',$accessToken);
} catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookResponseException $e) {
// When Graph returns an error
echo 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
exit;
} catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookSDKException $e) {
// When validation fails or other local issues
echo 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
$fb->setDefaultAccessToken($accessToken);
// Get user groups detail
$requestPageInsights = $fb->request('GET', '/YOUR_PAGE_ID/insights');
//Make a batch request
$batch = ['page-insights' => $requestPageInsights];
try {
$responses = $fb->sendBatchRequest($batch);
} catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookResponseException $e) {
// When Graph returns an error
echo 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
exit;
} catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookSDKException $e) {
// When validation fails or other local issues
echo 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
for a better view can use this:
foreach ($responses as $key => $response) {
if ($response->isError()) {
$e = $response->getThrownException();
echo '<p>Error! Facebook SDK Said: ' . $e->getMessage() . "\n\n";
echo '<p>Graph Said: ' . "\n\n";
var_dump($e->getResponse());
} else {
echo "<p>(" . $key . ") HTTP status code: " . $response->getHttpStatusCode() . "<br />\n";
echo "Response: " . $response->getBody() . "</p>\n\n";
echo "<hr />\n\n";
}
}
