I am trying get the metric Applications Submitted seen in the image. I am using v18 of the Graph API directly with HTTP. I am using the Ad Account node with the Insights edge, but no matter what combination of parameters I use, it never returns the Applications Submitted (submit_application_total) metric. I created a report (see image) and that works correctly. I've been trying for over a week to get the same values with the Graph API with no breakthrough in sight (no pun intended).
These are examples of that I've used so far:
Simple
act_[acct_id]/insights?level=ad&fields=action_values&time_range={"since":"2023-10-01","until":"2023-10-31"}&limit=100&access_token=[token]
Complex
act_[acct_id]/insights?level=ad&fields=spend,reach,frequency,cost_per_unique_click,cpp,cpc,impressions,actions,action_values{"submit_application_total"}&action_breakdowns=action_type&action_report_time=impression&action_attribution_window=['1d_click','1d_view']&time_range={"since":"2023-10-01","until":"2023-10-01"}&limit=100&access_token=[token]
Each one works, but the result never contains the Total Applications Submitted or even a matching action_type.
The payload I'm getting looks like this:
{
"data": [
{
"spend": "21.28",
"reach": "316",
"frequency": "1.120253",
"cost_per_unique_click": "2.128",
"cpp": "67.341772",
"cpc": "1.52",
"impressions": "354",
"actions": [
{
"action_type": "onsite_conversion.post_save",
"value": "1"
},
{
"action_type": "page_engagement",
"value": "6"
},
{
"action_type": "post_engagement",
"value": "6"
},
{
"action_type": "link_click",
"value": "5"
}
],
"date_start": "2023-10-01",
"date_stop": "2023-10-01"
}
],
"paging": {
"cursors": {
"before": "MAZDZD",
"after": "NQZDZD"
}
}
}
What am I doing wrong? If this is not possible, please let me know if there is a workaround.
