How to get most popular Facebook page posts using graph API Insights (JavaScript) -

i'm trying list of top performing facebook posts belong page using javascript insights api. however, can't seem find way 1 api call. i've poured through documentation here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.4/insights

unless missing something, there doesn't seem way retrieve list of popular posts , include engagement/likes/shares/comments/etc in results. can generic stats total engagement posts on page, nothing breaks down post.

the thing can think of using graph api list of page's posts.

/[page-id]/posts 

and use post-id results retrieve insights particular post.

/[post-id]/insights 

this potentially result in me making ton of api calls i'm looking for.

i'm hoping there better way. suggestions?

i figured out solution issue using batched graph api calls documented here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/making-multiple-requests

in case needed impressions, engagement, likes, comments, , shares each post facebook page. achieve made call similar this.

var pagename = 'yourfacebookpage',     yourtoken = 'youraccesstoken';  fb.api('/', 'post', {     access_token: yourtoken,     batch:          [             {                  method: 'get',                 name: 'get-posts',                 relative_url: pagename + '/posts'             },             {                 method: 'get',                 relative_url: '?ids={result=get-posts:$.data.*.id}'             },             {                 method: 'get',                 relative_url: pagename + '/insights/post_impressions/lifetime?ids={result=get-posts:$.data.*.id}'             },             {                 method: 'get',                 relative_url: pagename + '/insights/post_engaged_users/lifetime?ids={result=get-posts:$.data.*.id}'             },             {                 method: 'get',                 relative_url: 'likes?ids={result=get-posts:$.data.*.id}'             },             {                 method: 'get',                 relative_url: 'comments?ids={result=get-posts:$.data.*.id}'             },             {                 method: 'get',                 relative_url: 'sharedposts?ids={result=get-posts:$.data.*.id}'             }         ]     }, function (response) {         console.log(json.parse(response[1].body), 'post details');         console.log(json.parse(response[2].body), 'impressions');         console.log(json.parse(response[3].body), 'engagement');         console.log(json.parse(response[4].body), 'likes');         console.log(json.parse(response[5].body), 'comments');         console.log(json.parse(response[6].body), 'shares');     } ); 

unfortunately, facebook not combine responses. each call comes separate property of response, you'll need combine different metrics in 1 object before displaying in ui.

this worked me, helps others same issue.

cheers.
