Get Facebook page post id and basic information that can be stored as strings

Find out what each of the fields effectively means in the official documentation.

Usage

cc_get_fb_page_posts(
  meta_api_version = cornucopia::cc_get_meta_api_version(),
  max_pages = NULL,
  fields = cc_fb_page_post_fields[["fields"]],
  process_json = TRUE,
  cache = TRUE,
  only_cached = FALSE,
  wait = 0,
  fb_page_id = NULL,
  fb_page_token = NULL
)

Arguments

max_pages

Posts are returned in pages of 25 posts each. How many pages should be retrieved? By default, this will try to retrieve all posts.

fields

Lists of fields which return data consistently, see `cc_fb_page_post_fields[["fields"]]` for a full list and the official documentation for more details.

Expect caching to work consistently only if you leave this value unchanged. Consider disabling caching if you customise this parameter.

process_json

Defaults to `TRUE`. If `TRUE`, fields returning objects (not strings) are returned in list columns in the output data frame. If `FALSE`, they are returned as json-formatted strings, to be further processed.

cache

Defaults to `TRUE`.

only_cached

Defaults to `FALSE`. If `TRUE`, only data cached locally will be retrieved.

Value

A data frame, with the same columns as `cc_empty_fb_page_post_df`; each column in the returned data frame is of class character.

Details

As some fields return objects that can be read as lists, rather than simple strings, the data are cached locally as json. To have them processed as lists, set `process_json` to `TRUE`.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
if (interactive) {
  fb_page_token <- cc_get_fb_page_token(
    fb_user_id = cc_get_fb_user(),
    page_name = "My example page"
  )

  cc_set(fb_page_token = fb_page_token)
  posts_df <- cc_get_fb_page_posts()
  posts_df
}
} # }
