socialRinsight is a tool for analytics professionals to quickly scrape social insights data as cleaned data frames for analysis in R. For example, you might want to:
- Pull a report on multiple brands from Facebook Insights instead of manually pulling each brand
- Set the script to automatically run for fixed-cadence reporting on your managed brands
- Analyze your competitors' activity on social media
Examples:
Pull page level data from Facebook for March 2014:
fbPage("examplebrand", "2014-03-01", "2014-04-01", access_token)
Pull post level data for the first 2 weeks of March 2014:
fbPost("examplebrand", "2014-03-01", "2014-03-15", access_token)
Note:
- you must have the correct admin rights for your brand's Facebook page to execute any queries
- access_token is your access token available at http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
- please consult http://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api for more information
Currently socialRinsight only supports Facebook with Twitter support coming soon
