Current status of interaction with Facebook Insight components

fjblau — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 10:31:15 GMT

I was searching around and I saw that there was a Facebook Insights connector for Talend, but it doesn't look like there are any new posts on/about it in the last 4 years. Is it still supported by anyone? Does it still work with current versions of Talend the Facebook API? Anyone have any experience with it?

Thanks,

Frank

Hi Frank,

I have not personally tried the FB connector component. Are you telling about any custom component in Talend exchange?

You should be able to connect to the APIs using generic connectors in Talend like tRest. Another method is to write the API connectivity using SDKs through routine method. I have created sample in this way for connecting AWS APIs (link below).

If you are using Talend Cloud product, there is a brand new concept called API Designer and Tester where you can design your own APIs. So it all depends on how you want to use it. But from Talend side it is possible as long as you are having right authorizations to read the data.
