QVSource (Facebook/Instagram) - How can I program a query to get post reach (I) and exact comments/likes (F)

Hi everybody! I'm building a social media model and having some trouble with a few of the limitations of QV Source.

SUMMARY & Objective

How can I program QV Source to ask new queries on top of the first one's results constantly? I need to get the estimated reach for each post, and I need the table to show the real results for comments/likes instead of the Max comments limit.

FACEBOOK

So we've all read that In order to go past the MAX comments/likes (25) limit, we have to ask another question on the post ID and we'll get the total number of comments/likes for the item. How can this be done on a full list of posts from a Facebook Page?

INSTAGRAM

My question here goes to understanding how many followers does a person who posts something with a hashtag has. I mean to be able to sum up all the users that say, for example, #Samsunglife and understand the reach per conversation. In order to do this, we have to see who posted, get the post ID, and ask it who its author is and how many followers he has. That's the best way I can imagine to establish an engagement rate and reach for each conversation...

Thanks in advance!!!!!

Hi Roberto,

We are working on a new V3 of the Facebook Fan Pages Connector which should give you the total likes and comments without making the additional request.

Email our support if you would like early access to try this.

Re the Instagram question, please also drop a note to our support email address and we will see if we can get an answer on that.
