I am trying to fetch data from some Instagram accounts that are on Meta Business Suite, most of them I have success to retrieve using Graph API and Instagram API, but one of them I cannot find in documentation.

It is Link Clicks on Instagram Accounts.

So I need help to retrieve this metric. Can someone help me?

I have tried these metrics: website_clicks, text_message_clicks, phone_call_clicks and profile_links_taps but none of them is the number that shows on Business Suite even adding those metrics.

I have been reading all over documentation but it is so confusing and annoying.

I can retrieve insights for posts made directly on Instagram, but I face an issue with combined insights for posts shared on both Instagram and Facebook.

Here's the scenario: When I post a reel on Instagram and enable the option to automatically share it on Facebook, the combined views shown on Instagram reflect views from both platforms. For example, if the reel generates 10,000 views on Instagram and an additional 5,000 views on Facebook, Instagram's app displays a total of 15,000 views. However, when I call the API (GET /{ig-media-id}/insights), it only returns the 10,000 views from Instagram, excluding the 5,000 views from Facebook.

I've spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out how to obtain the combined insights (similar to the view shown in Instagram's app) through the API but have had no luck. I am aware that this is possible since I've seen analytics platforms display the combined numbers in their reports.

What I've Tried:

1. Using the Instagram Graph API endpoint GET /{ig-media-id}/insights to retrieve insights, but it only returns Instagram-specific data.
2. Searching through Facebook Graph API documentation for a way to aggregate insights from both platforms.
3. Experimenting with various metrics and parameters to ensure no data is left out.
4. Attempting to get insights from the Facebook page itself, but these always return empty since the page isn't being used directly.

Is there a specific API endpoint or method to retrieve the combined insights for Instagram posts shared on both Instagram and Facebook? How can I get the same combined views data that Instagram displays within its app?

For my Use case, im planning a Live demo where i start an Instagram Marketing Campaign. After launching the Ads, the goal is to present an Instagram Account where the Advertisement can be seen. So it really only needs to be visible on that specific account.

Whats the best way to do this?

• I saw that there is a sandbox mode, but it states that it doesnt actually launch ads. is that correct?
• Are the are other test environments i could use?
• If it has to be the real instagram, is it even possible to narrow the targeting down to a point it could be a guaranteed to show up on that account?

I'm developing an app using the Instagram messaging / send api and am sporadically getting this error

Request

data=f'recipient={{"id":"{reply_recipient_id}"}}&message={{"text":"{rm}"}}' r = requests.post("https://graph.facebook.com/v20.0/me/messages?access_token={}".format(access_token), data=data) 

Response

{'error': {'message': '(#100) Empty text', 'type': 'OAuthException', 'code': 100, 'error_subcode': 2534052, 'fbtrace_id': 'ABtZnf58ICsDpqWwJslG2wD'}} 

Any idea on what this is?

Thanks

We want to use the Instagram Graph API to get a list of public accounts that have used a specific tag recently (or a @). I already set the app up but before I am going to dive more deeply, I want to ask whether this is possible. Because the last post I read about it (in 2020) it wasn't possible due to privacy, but the lines that were quoted, aren't in the recent manual so I am not sure whether it is still applicable. I can't find another recent answer about it.

Does someone knows this? Thank you so much!

Post I mentioned Facebook Instagram Graph Api Get Tags with username The recent manual: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/guides/hashtag-search

I already googled it to try to find the answer
