Display Facebook ADs Statistics on webpage using Facebook Ads API in PHP - php

Question

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.
