Social Media Analytics (Facebook Page Insights)
Web application that pulls Insights from a Facebook Page and displays them. [update in progress]
I forked this from another user. In theory, this is an application which logs you in to Facebook, grabs a list of the Pages you manage, and then display certain Insights based off of set metrics. ***
Hello Hacktoberfest contributors! I have here a web application that needs some work, and I wanted some help! This will be a great opportunity for you guys to receive the shirt and stickers for this event!
Allow me to explain a little about the app:
Last year, I was working on a web application project that needed to use the Facebook Graph API to grab Insights from a user’s Page that they manage. Particularly, in this case, the Page’s follower count. I wanted to be able to pull the Insights, display the data from the API, and be able to save that to a database, and eventually display it in a nice graph.
After tons of searching through repos here on GitHub, I was able to fork an old project from three years ago called SMA. I wanted to be able to build on this so that developers in the future could benefit as well.
I have a list of things that I would like to be able to fix/implement, all outlined here at –> #1
-
[ ] Updating to the current API version
-
[x] Request authentication from user to show a list of their Pages they manage
-
[x] Show those Pages in a list to select which they want their Insights from
-
[ ] Display Insights on the web page in the form of a list
-
[ ] Save the data to a database [any type of database works at the moment]
-
[ ] Display the data in an analytics-style graph
If you are a beginner contributor: On #1, ask any questions that you may have! These can be about the project as a whole, how to find issues, how to create well-organized merge requests, etc.
If you are a veteran contributor: Please comment any issues you think would be a good project for beginners!
Thank you to everyone who is willing to support me in this project! Happy Hacktoberfest!
