Query multiple insights metrics in one API call

Question

Is it possible to query more than one insights metric in one API call?

For example to get the daily added likes for a page I executed the following call:

But I would like to have another metric, e.g., page_fan_removes_unique, included as well.

Query the insights object entirely is a possibility, but gives me too much data I don't need, thus decreases performance.

Since your question shows that you're using the Graph API, you may want to use the batch requests method: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/batch/

You can group multiple Graph API queries together so you can just query the Insights data you need in one request.

Yes, you can run a multiple FQL query in one API call and then parse the various results.

FQL is no longer supported beyond version 2.0. Also, the multiquery link is dead. – frederix May 14 '15 at 23:32
both links look dead now, would have been nice to include some info here rather than just pasting a link – tanvi Nov 11 '19 at 21:51
