_x000D_ _x000D_ I have a Google Apps script that's sending batch requests to the Facebook Marketing API (Insights). I'm fetching mobile installs, ad spend per day over several campaigns. However, the results are unexpected for large amounts of data. Each relative URL in the batch is requesting a day-wise breakdown for a single Facebook campaign as follows: {"method":"GET", "relative_url":"/insights?fields=actions,spend&time_range={'since':'yyyy-mm-dd','until':'yyyy-mm-dd'}&time_increment=1"} For a given date range, I'm creating a batch request URL for n such campaigns as follows: var fbCampaigns = [ C1, C2, C3 ... ]; var batchRequests = []; for(var i=0; i Previous Next

_x000D_ Found the issue! After looking for patterns I realised that for each campaign, a maximum of 51 dates worth of data were being fetched. Absolutely couldn't find details about this hidden limit on the web - if anyone has any further information please add to this.
