facebook-graph-utils

A collection of composable utilities to make it easier to consume data from facebook graph and APIs

Getting Started

yarn add facebook-graph-utils

Prerequisites

None

Installing

import FBGraphUtilsFactory from 'facebook-graph-utils'
const FBGraphUtils = FBGraphUtilsFactory('TOKEN', 'APPSECRET')

Methods

1. FBGraphUtils.getAllFbApiData: Recursively resolve all Facebook graph data as an array. -- Note: the appsecretProof is auto generated and injected from the factory instantiation. -- Note: If the Graph returns with a next parameter this method will call fb again and concat all of the data recursively until no next is returned. -- ex:

   FBGraphUtils.getAllFbApiData('https://graph.facebook.com/v2.10/act_ACCOUNT_ID/insights')
   .then(console.log)

2. FBGraphUtils.objectToGetParamsShallow: Turn POJO into get params -- ex:

    console.log(FBGraphUtils.objectToGetParamsShallow({a:1,b:2}))
    //a=1&b=2

3. FBGraphUtils.generateAppsecretProof: return appsecret proof -- ex:

    const appSecretProof = FBGraphUtils.generateAppsecretProof('token', 'appsecret')

4. FBGraphUtils.execute: helper to get all data from endpoint w/ params. Also fixes any act_ id issues.

import FBGraphUtilsFactory from 'facebook-graph-utils'
const FBGraphUtils = FBGraphUtilsFactory('TOKEN', 'APPSECRET')

FBGraphUtils
    .setLevel('campaign')
    .setInsightsFields()
    .setBreakdowns('publisher_platform, platform_position, impression_device')
    .setInsightsEndpoint()
    .setApiId('CAMPAIGN_ID_HERE')
    .execute()
    .then(console.log)

BaseParam Helper

Returns a params object with helper methods attached for crafting FB Graph query strings. Note that using this helper module will automatically inject appsecretproof and token into your get parameters as needed for consuming data on the FB Graph API. As of v1.0.10 this is included on the base FBGraphUtils, but can be called standalone by using BaseParamFactory

Methods

1. FBGraphUtils.setActionBreakdowns: sets the action breakdowns parameter
2. FBGraphUtils.setBreakdowns: sets the breakdowns parameter
3. FBGraphUtils.setDatePreset: sets the date preset parameter (defaults lifetime)
4. FBGraphUtils.setInsightsFields: sets the fields parameter to all available insights fields
5. FBGraphUtils.setCampaignFields: sets the fields parameter to all available campaign fields
6. FBGraphUtils.setAdFields: sets the fields parameter to all available ad fields
7. FBGraphUtils.setAdSetFields: sets the fields parameter to all available ad set fields
8. FBGraphUtils.setAdCreativeFields: sets the fields parameter to all available creative fields
9. FBGraphUtils.setActivityFields: sets the fields parameter to all available activity fields
10. FBGraphUtils.setAdImageFields: sets the fields parameter to all available ad image fields
11. FBGraphUtils.setFields: explicitly sets the fields parameter
12. FBGraphUtils.setLevel: sets the level parameter
13. FBGraphUtils.setLimit: sets the limit parameter (defaults 50)
14. FBGraphUtils.toGetParams: converts this object to usable get params

apiParams Example

const campaignBreakdownInsightsParams =
    FBGraphUtils
    .setLevel('campaign')

FBGraphUtils.getAllFbApiData(`https://graph.facebook.com/v2.10/CAMPAIGN_ID_HERE/insights${campaignBreakdownInsightsParams}`)
.then(console.log)

ApiEndpointUtils Helper

Returns an endpoint object with helper methods attached for crafting FB Graph urls. Note: as of v1.0.10 this is included on the base FBGraphUtils but can be used seperately by using makeApiEndpointUtils

Methods

1. FBGraphUtils.setEndpoint: sets the endpoint in url explicitly
2. FBGraphUtils.setInsightsEndpoint: sets the endpoint to '/insights'
3. FBGraphUtils.setCampaignsEndpoint: sets the endpoint to '/campaigns'
4. FBGraphUtils.setAdsetsEndpoint: sets the endpoint to '/adsets'
5. FBGraphUtils.setAdsEndpoint: sets the endpoint to '/ads'
6. FBGraphUtils.setActivitiesEndpoint: sets the endpoint to '/activities'
7. FBGraphUtils.setAdImagesEndpoint: sets the endpoint to '/adimages'
8. FBGraphUtils.setTransactionsEndpoint: sets the endpoint to '/transactions'
9. FBGraphUtils.setSearchEndpoint: sets the endpoint to '/search'
10. FBGraphUtils.setApiId: sets the ID to be used in the query
11. FBGraphUtils.getApiEndpoint: gets the endpoint containing base, version, id (if present), endpoint and params (if passed in)
12. FBGraphUtils.setApiVersion: sets the api version explicitly

apiEndpointUtils Example

//Note this is just an illustration, it's recomended to compose and use execute (see above example for execute)
import FBGraphUtilsFactory from 'facebook-graph-utils'
const FBGraphUtils = FBGraphUtilsFactory('TOKEN', 'APPSECRET')
const campaignBreakdownInsightsParams =
    FBGraphUtils
    .setLevel('campaign')
    .setInsightsFields()
    .setBreakdowns('publisher_platform, platform_position, impression_device')
    .toGetParams()

const campaignInsightsEndpoint =
    FBGraphUtils
    .setInsightsEndpoint()
    .setApiId('CAMPAIGN_ID_HERE')
    .getApiEndpoint(campaignBreakdownInsightsParams)

//https://graph.facebook.com/v2.10/CAMPAIGN_ID_HERE/insights?appsecret_proof=XXXXX&access_token=TOKEN&date_preset=lifetime&limit=50&level=campaign&fields=ad_id ,account_currency,account_id,account_name,action_values,actions,ad_name,adset_id,adset_name,buying_type,call_to_action_clicks,campaign_id,campaign_name,canvas_avg_view_percent,canvas_avg_view_time,canvas_component_avg_pct_view,clicks,cost_per_10_sec_video_view,cost_per_action_type,cost_per_estimated_ad_recallers,cost_per_inline_link_click,cost_per_inline_post_engagement,cost_per_outbound_click,cost_per_total_action,cost_per_unique_action_type,cost_per_unique_click,cost_per_unique_inline_link_click,cost_per_unique_outbound_click,cpc,cpm,cpp,ctr,date_start,date_stop,estimated_ad_recall_rate,estimated_ad_recallers,frequency,impressions,inline_link_click_ctr,inline_link_clicks,inline_post_engagement,mobile_app_purchase_roas,objective,outbound_clicks,outbound_clicks_ctr,place_page_name,reach,relevance_score,social_clicks,social_impressions,social_reach,social_spend,spend,total_action_value,total_actions,total_unique_actions,unique_actions,unique_clicks,unique_ctr,unique_inline_link_click_ctr,unique_inline_link_clicks,unique_link_clicks_ctr, unique_outbound_clicks,unique_outbound_clicks_ctr,unique_social_clicks,video_10_sec_watched_actions,video_15_sec_watched_actions,video_30_sec_watched_actions,video_avg_percent_watched_actions,video_avg_time_watched_actions,video_p100_watched_actions,video_p25_watched_actions, video_p50_watched_actions,video_p75_watched_actions,video_p95_watched_actions,website_ctr,website_purchase_roas&breakdowns=publisher_platform, platform_position, impression_device
FBGraphUtils.getAllFbApiData(campaignInsightsEndpoint)
.then(console.log)

Extra Configuration

The package uses request-promise, bluebird Promises and CryptoJS by default. Any of these dependencies can be overridden. For example to create the FBGraphUtils using 'request' rather than 'request-promise' you can do the following:

import request from 'request'
import Promise from 'bluebird'
import CryptoJS from 'crypto-js';
import makeFBGraphUtilsFactory from 'facebook-graph-utils/facebook-graph-utils'

const defaultServices = {
    request,
    Promise,
    CryptoJS
  }
const FBGraphUtilsFactory = makeFBGraphUtilsFactory(defaultServices)
const FBGraphUtils = FBGraphUtilsFactory('TOKEN', 'APPSECRET')

Note: the only libraries tested are the default injected services.
