I am trying to get to get clicks and spend data for ad campaigns.
I am currently getting all ad campaign ID's with a curl request which returns about 260 ID's.
I want to make a batch request and get the clicks, spend, start and end dates for each ID.
I have found the PHP SDK FacebookRequest() function very confusing so have been trying to make cURL requests.
Would really appreciate some help because I am just stumped at the moment. Is it best to use to FacebookRequest() function or can I continue using the cURL requests?
Not sure if I am on the right track but essentially what I have at the moment is all the campaign ID's which I group with a method, relative_url and body and then pass to a requestHandler function. The code is as follows:
$ad_account_ids = <ad_account_id>;
$ad_campaign_ids = FbAdCampaign::all()->lists('ad_campaign_id')->toArray();
foreach ($ad_campaign_ids as $key => $value) {
$ad_campaign_ids[$key] = array(
"method" => "GET",
"relative_url" => "v2.4/act_".$ad_account_ids."/adgroups",
"body" => "campaign_id=".$value."&redownload=1&bid_type=CPC&bid_info={\"clicks\":150}&creative={\"creative_id\":\"{result=create_creative:$.id}\"}&targeting={\"countries\":[\"US\"]}&name=test1"
);
$fields[] = array(
'access_token' => $access_token,
'batch' => $ad_campaign_ids[$key]
);
// $url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/act_'.$ad_campaign_ids.'/adcampaign_groups?access_token='.$access_token;
$url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/';
$data = RequestHandler::curlRequest($url);
Ok got it.
Had to prepend the /GET data to the end of the URL to pass to the request handler.
as follows:
$url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/act_'.$ad_account_ids.'/adcampaign_groups?access_token='.$access_token;

I'm trying out the ActiveCollab API for my first time. I had to use StackOveflow to figure out how to get the API token since the docs don't tell me this.
Below is my code:
/* GET INTENT */
$url = 'https://my.activecollab.com/api/v1/external/login';
$fields = array(
'email' => "email#email.com",
'password' => "****"
);
$intent = curl_post_connector($url, $fields);
$intent = $intent->user->intent;
/* GET TOKEN */
$url = 'https://app.activecollab.com/my_app_id/api/v1/issue-token-intent';
$fields = array(
'intent' => $intent,
'client_name' => 'My App Name',
'client_vendor' => 'My Company Name'
);
$token = curl_post_connector($url, $fields);
$token = $token->token;
Everything above works and get's the token properly. What I find really weird is that I have to use API v1 to get this, and the docs on ActiveCollab's site don't mention any URL for API v5. It seems like this is the approach everything is taking here on StackOverflow.
Now with the token, I try to get my list of projects:
/* GET PROJECT */
$url = 'https://app.activecollab.com/my_app_id/api/v1/users';
$headers = array (
"X-Angie-AuthApiToken" => $token
);
$projects = curl_get_connector($url, $headers);
var_dump($projects);
But this does not work. There is no error returned - it instead returns an array of languages for some reason! I don't want to paste the massive json object here, so instead I'll link you to a photo of it: https://www.screencast.com/t/7p5JuFB4Gu
UPDATE:
When attempting to use the SDK, it works up until I try getting the token (which is just as far as I got without the SDK). I'm getting Server Error 500, and when looking at the logs, it says:
/home/working/public_html/ac/index.php(21): ActiveCollab\SDK\Authenticator\Cloud->issueToken(123456789)
#1 {main}
thrown in /home/working/public_html/ac/SDK/Authenticator/Cloud.php on line 115
This is line 115 of Cloud.php:
throw new InvalidArgumentException("Account #{$account_id} not loaded");
I honestly don't think I did anything wrong... there must be something wrong with my account ID.
Just for kicks, I commented out that line, and the error disappears and the page loads fine - except now I have no token...
Does anyone know how to fetch all facebook ads statistics and display on webpage using Facebook Ads Api-PHP SDK. I am using this API and I am getting campaign details like name of campaign, id, status. but not able to get impressions,clicks, spent.
What I am doing let me share with you:
1) I am getting access token by authorizing user
2) After getting access token, I am using below code
$account = new AdAccount('act_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX');
$account->read();
$fields = array(
AdCampaignFields::ID,
AdCampaignFields::NAME,
AdCampaignFields::OBJECTIVE,
);
$params = array(AdCampaignFields::STATUS => array(AdCampaign::STATUS_ACTIVE,AdCampaign::STATUS_PAUSED,),);
$campaigns = $account->getAdCampaigns($fields, $params);
/* Added By Jigar */
$campaign = new AdCampaign('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX');
$compainDetails = $campaign->read($fields);
3) then printing the array
echo "<pre>";
print_r($compainDetails);
exit;
If anyone know any suggestion in above code, please share. All code is in PHP. Dose anyone have any tutorial that fetch all above required data then share it
You could try to use the facebook insights api instead of $campaign->read. Here's an example:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/insights/v2.5#create-async-jobs
What you have to do to get impressions, click and spent is to add these fields to the $fields param. In your case, the complete code should look like the following:
use FacebookAds\Object\Campaign;
use FacebookAds\Object\Values\InsightsLevels;
use FacebookAds\Object\Values\InsightsFields;
$campaign = new Campaign();
$fields = array(
InsightsFields::IMPRESSIONS,
InsightsFields::UNIQUE_CLICKS,
InsightsFields::CALL_TO_ACTION_CLICKS,
InsightsFields::INLINE_LINK_CLICKS,
InsightsFields::SOCIAL_CLICKS,
InsightsFields::UNIQUE_SOCIAL_CLICKS,
InsightsFields::SPEND,
);
$params = array(
'level' => InsightsLevels::CAMPAIGN,
);
$async_job = $campaign->getInsightsAsync($fields, $params);
$async_job->read();
I don't know what exactly the "click" param means for you, but if you take a look at all these click params, I'm sure you'll find it or you'll know how to calculate it.
For a complete list of fields available on insights objects, have a look at: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-php-ads-sdk/blob/master/src/FacebookAds/Object/Fields/InsightsFields.php
Hope that helps.

I'm trying to get user details via Mixpanel analytics but I am having difficulties to properly grasp how i should do this… data has been set using
mixpanel.people.identify()
Events and Segmentation requests seem to be ok; but I can't figure out how to query a request on the Engage endpoint.
as it turns out—there might be other ways to find this out but this one works for me:
you need to get engagement data this way
$data = $mp->request(array('engage'));
foreach($data->results as $user) {
$email = $user->{'$properties'}->{'$email'};
$last_seen_date = $user->{'$properties'}->{'$last_seen'};
$distinct_id = $user->{'$distinct_id'};
}
the distinct_id can then be used within the foreach() loop above to get events registered with this user:
$endpoint = array('stream', 'query');
$parameters = array(
'distinct_ids' => json_encode(array($distinct_id)),
'from_date' => '2014-02-10',
'to_date' => '2014-02-25',
);
I have a project where I need to do the following: retrieve some data from a form, fill the database, create a response for the user and post the data to a third party. To give an example, it's like booking a ticket to a concert.The ajax call: You buy the ticket, you receive a response (whether the purchase was successful), a php script sends data to the database, and someone may be announced that a new ticket was bought. Now, I need to pass data to that "someone". Which is what I don't know how to do.
Or, like when someone posts a comment to my question on stackoverflow, I get a notification.
In my particular case, the user creates an event, receives a response and I will need to have certain parameters posted by the user on a calendar. It is important that I could hardly integrate the calendar with the script retrieving the data. I would rather need to "forward" the data to the calendar- quite like pushing notifications.
Can anyone please give me a clue what should I use, or what should I need in order to do the above?
The process will go like this:
AJAX
user----> php script->database
|_ calendar
So if i get you right, you could post your data to the calendar via curl:
$url = "http://www.your-url-to-the-calendar.com";
$postData = array(
"prop1" => "value1",
"prop2" => "value2",
"prop3" => "value3"
);
//urlify the data for the post
$data_string = "";
foreach ($postData as $key => $value)
$data_string .= urlencode($key) . '=' . urlencode($value) . '&';
$data_string = rtrim($data_string, '&');
//will output --> prop1=value1&prop2=value2=prop3=value3
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_HEADER => false,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => false,
CURLOPT_POST => count($postData),
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $data_string
));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
If your third party calendar does not require authentication than this would be the best way to post it, if you can not write to the database yourself.
When it requires authentication you would have to first login via curl (send credentials via curl-post, receive cookies, send cookies with your data)
Hope this helps.

How to issue HTTP POST request?
I've created a script that intercepts a regular post, and based on the username does one thing or another.
In one of the conditional branches, I want to move the user along and POST what he wrote down in the login form to another PHP script.
How can I easily make a POST request to a URL?
Is there something like:
$data = array("username" => "admin", "password" => "hunter2");
http_post("foo.com", "POST", $data);
Any suggestions?
Like this:
// Create map with request parameters
$params = array ('surname' => 'Filip', 'lastname' => 'Czaja');
// Build Http query using params
$query = http_build_query ($params);
// Create Http context details
$contextData = array (
'method' => 'POST',
'header' => "Connection: close\r\n".
"Content-Length: ".strlen($query)."\r\n",
'content'=> $query );
// Create context resource for our request
$context = stream_context_create (array ( 'http' => $contextData ));
// Read page rendered as result of your POST request
$result = file_get_contents (
'http://www.sample-post-page.com', // page url
false,
$context);
// Server response is now stored in $result variable so you can process it

That's what the curl functions exist for. See, for example: http://davidwalsh.name/curl-post
