I want to get insights data of a facebook page. I have tried with graph api with this url: 

https://graph.facebook.com/149279625121774/insights/?access_token=XXXX

but it gives empty data:

{    "data": [
          ],    "paging": {
      "previous": "https://graph.facebook.com/149279625121774/insights/...",
      "next": "https://graph.facebook.com/149279625121774/insights/..." 
     } 
}

'149279625121774' is the page id.

Is anybody help me for this.

UPDATED ANSWER:
Insights can be retrieved only as an array. To read Insights you need

  • a generic access_token for the publicly available application_active_users metric
  • a generic app access_token for all Insights for that app
  • read_insights permissions for all apps, pages and domains owned by this user

For more details on which insights are available please review the FQL Insights table

Here are my comments:

  1. Most likely you don't have the read_insights permission.
  2. The user authenticated should be the owner/admin of the page!
  3. Remove the trailing slash /

  • how can i check and enable read_insights permission in my facebook page? – Chirayu Jan 28 '11 at 06:12
  • you can check that from facebook privacy settings of your account and then applications settings. also you can ask for the extra permission from the login button/URL check this [answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4814432/facebook-sharing-graph-api), instead of `offline_access` use `read_insights` – ifaour Jan 28 '11 at 08:55
  • Is not helpful for me. Works only if I specify metric names separated by coma: /{pageId}/insights/{metric1,metric2,...,metricN} – Oleg Apr 27 '12 at 13:39

I found the solution.

You must change the order of the scope parameter:

Try

email,read_insights,manage_pages

Instead of

email,manage_pages,read_insights

  • It would help if the downvoter commented something. This solution worked for me. The Graph API started to work after I moved manage_pages before read_insights. – helpse Mar 04 '15 at 17:25
