Getting Reactions and Post type from Facebook Graph API

Question

For a university project I am trying to extract information present on a public page present on Facebook. I know that a permission is required, but that is not the focus of my question.

I am writing the code needed for the verification phase and I am testing it on my own page. Currently I can get all the necessary data except:

• The number/type of the various reactions (Like, Love, Hug, etc.) of each post.

• The type of post (with photo, video, text only, link, etc.).

Reading the documentation, I can't figure out how to extract that informations. I can only see the reactions selected by me, but I can see the total reactions for each post (for example, I can see that a post has 7 reactions, but they are not divided into the various types).

Finally, I really have no idea how I can get the type of post analyzed.

Below is the code I wrote. I know it's not very pretty, I'm still learning. I'm still testing a few things, eventually all the data will be put into a dataframe.

Thank you in advance for your attention and any help you can give me.

                )

Answer 1

I got total reaction type with: https://graph.facebook.com/{postid}?fields=reactions.type({reactiontype}).limit(0).summary(total_count)&access_token={accesstoken} Reaction types available are: ['LIKE', 'LOVE', 'WOW', 'HAHA', 'ANGRY', 'SAD'] There might be some more, if you input a wrong reaction type the result JSON will contain the list of existing reaction types.

For post type I used: https://graph.facebook.com/{postid}?fields=status_type&access_token={accesstoken}

I'm a noob so there might be a better way to do this, maybe with less requests, but this get the job done for now
