I am having issues figuring out how to get data from the graph api insights, I dont have sufficient rights to get any data returned. In the Graph API explorer I generated a new access token with the right to read insights but I dont know how to take it into use in php. I am currently trying to get the data as follows:

FacebookSession::setDefaultApplication('app_id', 'app_secret');
$session = FacebookSession::newAppSession();
$engagement = (new FacebookRequest(
    $session, 'GET', '/page_id/insights/page_engaged_users'
))->execute()->getGraphObject();

    Rasmus, can you elaborate exact issue that you're facing. Are you facing issues with Facebook api permissions for insights. Or values in $engagement variable. You can still login with the same account that you used to set up Facebook app and check. This will fetch your accounts insight values. Hope this link helps: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.3/insights – jones Jul 01 '15 at 12:59
  • Also you could use tools such as https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ to query and fetch the details that you need. – jones Jul 01 '15 at 13:06
  • I have used the explorer and I have gotten it to work. The issue it, insights require an access token with "read_insights" permission, which I do not know how to get with the php sdk. – Rasmus Nørskov Jul 01 '15 at 14:17
