maraujo / pysocialwatcher Goto Github PK

Apologies if this is a very basic question, but I'm still learning my ropes with Python, and wanted to use this project. I carried out the installation instructions, and then initiated jupyter lab running a python 2 kernel to run the code. However, when I try to run watcherAPI, I keep running into the same error- "No Module named main". Any help would be greatly appreciated, I haven't been able to find any tutorial notebooks either, but I'm happy to write one once I'm able to do this.

I tried executing a basic query for NY ex-pats (JSON below) using utils.process_audience_from_response but the query was unable to complete because the response did not contain a JSON. Do you know if the API has changed and is now returning non-JSON responses?

query:

This isn't really an issue as much as me not understanding how "and" queries work. I'm trying to collect data for all Hispanic ex-pats from Mexico with the following query:

{   "name": "Hispanic ex-pats",
    "behavior": [
        {"and" : [6003133212372, 6003277229371], "name" : "Hispanic Mexican Ex-pats"}
    ],
     "geo_locations" : 
     [
        {
            "name" : "countries",
            "location_types" : ["home"],
            "values" : [
                "US"
            ]
        }
     ],
     "ages_ranges": [
        {"min":18, "max" : 25}
    ],
    "genders": [0]
}

But this generates an invalid query (according to Facebook). Do you know whether the query is written wrong?

Seems like when I try to make requests greater than 300 the progress halts indefinitely (with two accounts in credentials.csv). How do I make sure I continue to get data?

Hi,

first, thanks for creating this package!

I was just trying to get the MWE from the World Bank to run (https://worldbank.github.io/connectivity_mapping/intro.html), and immediately ran into this error message:

'{"error":{"message":"Invalid parameter","type":"OAuthException","code":100,"error_data":{"blame_field_specs":[["targeting"]]},"error_subcode":1870199,"is_transient":false,"error_user_title":"Update the value of the location_types field","error_user_msg":"All location targeting will now reach people living in or recently in the locations that you selected. Please remove all values from the location_types field.","fbtrace_id":"XXXXXXXX"}}'

It seems Facebook has changed how people's locations are targeted: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/365561350785642?id=176276233019487

I'd fix it myself, but am pretty much a newbie when it comes to Python. Do you maybe have a fix for this?

Thanks again in any case,
Carlo

Hi,
i've been trying to collect some data from facebook in order to learn how to use pySocialWatcher. I've setup an account with ID and Token, followed your instructions and typed command:

watcher.run_data_collection("pysocialwatcher/input_examples/jdafermos_example.json")

where my "jdafermos_example.json" file is:

{ "name": "Data in Crete",
"geo_locations": [
{ "name": "regions", "values": [{"key":"4170"}], "location_types": ["region"] }
],
"genders": [0],
"ages_ranges": [
{"min":18, "max":75}
]
}

The skeleton file is saved, but when it tries to collect the data an error message about "Param currency on field delivery_estimate" appears which includes the following lines:

FatalException: '{"error":{"message":"(#100) Param currency on field delivery_estimate: This param is not valid","type":"OAuthException","code":100,"fbtrace_id":"Ahe7jEVHUwoWhbm2wUTnMVQ"}}'

pysocialwatcher.utils.FatalException: 'FatalError: Check logging for clue. No way to proceed from here.'

Do you know if there is any solution to this?
Thank you

I've gotten the next error.

Error Message:(#2635) You are calling a deprecated version of the Ads API. Please update to the latest version: v14.0.

We should update API calls to a new version

Hello, I noticed that the process fail when the Facebook API responds with a new error. It's not a json, but a html page.

The source of the web page is always the same:

If I'm not wrong, at the moment the error is handle by the function handle_send_request_error() in utils.py. As this seems to be a temporary problem on Facebook, which can be the best way to handle it and trying to restore the process? By calling perform_collection_data_on_facebook()?

Thanks!

I can't run any example. I've got the "WARNING Facebook Error code 2" and the "WARNING Facebook Error Message: (#2) Service temporarily unavailable". In the "dataframe_skeleton_.csv" I obtained only NAs.

That happened to me if I either used my own token and application ID or one from your credential.

What should I do?

Thanks

Hey I was trying to fiddle with the SLEEP constant as per the documentation below:

"Advaced Configurations
#####Change Sleep time between requests to 10s:

from pysocialwatcher import constants
constants.SLEEP = 10"

but the correct constant seems to be 'SLEEP_TIME' rather than 'SLEEP'

Best,

Julian

Facebook updated their ads API to v8.0 in August of this year. Have you managed to make pySocialWatcher run with these changes? Changing the 3 constants as you mentioned in the readme unfortunately didn't do the trick.

Thanks!

Hello, For the below code, watcher.run_data_collection("pySocialWatcher/pysocialwatcher/quick_example.json")

Which file do you want to pass as quick_example.json? There is no such file in the folder. In the facebook credential I gave the user access token and respective user id for that app (see below), is it correct?

Please help.

Facebook changed the interests and in this case the program has been failure error code: 100. How can I skip this error and keep going for work.

I had to update REACHESTIMATE_URL in constants.py because one of the tokens that I was using was not working with the old API (recently updated from 2.11 to 3.0).

REACHESTIMATE_URL = "https://graph.facebook.com/v3.0/act_{}/delivery_estimate"
