Socialbakers API Documentation

Introduction

The Socialbakers API allows access to the data points used in Socialbakers suite. Access to the API is available on request for Socialbakers clients only.

If you are interested in the API access, please contact our support team (support@socialbakers.com).

Security and authentication

The API is secured with HTTPS. Authentication is made using Basic HTTP Authorization by token and secret. The authorization is sent in the HTTP headers.

The token and secret are linked to a specific user of a Socialbakers Suite account. Get in touch with our Support team at support@socialbakers.com to get yours.

Basic HTTP Authorization using token and secret

Basic HTTP Authorization uses a token and secret with a colon between them encoded to base64 format.

Example: if we use "Aladdin" as a token and "OpenSesame" as a secret, then "Aladdin:OpenSesame" produces "QWxhZGRpbjpPcGVuU2VzYW1l" when encoded to base64 format.

The parameter in the HTTP header would be then: Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpPcGVuU2VzYW1l

Example request

GET /1/facebook/profiles HTTPS
Host: api.socialbakers.com
Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpPcGVuU2VzYW1l
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

Limits

Rate limits are defined for account and for user:

  • Account: 1000 requests per hour
  • User: 500 requests per hour

Each metrics request is limited by maximum number of:

  • Profiles: 25
  • Metrics: 25
  • Date range: 3 months

Date range is not relative to curent date, so you are able to query historical data.

If you need to query with more profiles, metrics or date range than the limits allow, you can split it into multiple requests.

The oldest historical data you are able to request for is limited by your subscription package.

Errors

If error occurs in any endpoint, standardized error response will be returned.

You can find this endpoint useful in case you want to get the aggregated metrics data of a set of posts. The set of posts is defined by the profiles and filtering parameters.

Advanced Post Filters

Introduction

Some fields support advanced possibilities of filtering. It is possible to create filter rules as a combination of match_all and match_any clauses. A combination with simple filter definition is also possible. The filter consists of two types of clauses:

Simple filter clauses

Specifies particular field(s) and its values. Posts having these values will be part of the results. 


{
  "field": "type",
  "value": [
    "photo",
    "status"
  ]
}
Advanced filter clauses

The advanced filter is used to combine multiple filters in a logical meaning as AND, and OR.

  • match_all - Represents logical AND. Items have to match in all criteria for each clause
  • match_any - Represents logical OR. The result of this filter has to match at least in one criterion of the clause.

{
  "match_all": [
    {
      "field": "post_labels",
      "value": [
        "fa14dde7e4f041e3a646",
        "890c135d9cee4cf89b42"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Content Labeling

Add or remove labels to content in Community.

Requires labeling user permissions:

  • Edit Global Labels
  • Global Post Labeling

Currently supports the following networks: facebook, and twitter.

Caveats:

  • If the provided label does not exist, a global label will be created in the account.
  • Labeled content must exist in Community at the time of the API call.
  • The updates are immediately propagated into feeds.

Methods

PUT
Add labels to content
DELETE
Remove labels from content

Parameters

Name Description
content_ids array of network specific content IDs (status ID for Twitter, see below for Facebook content IDs). (required)
labels array of label names (strings) to add to content. (required)
Facebook Content IDs
Direct Messages
To label direct message conversation, prefix the conversation ID (e.g. t_100022491363476) with page ID and dash.
Example: Given page ID 558021681218098 and conversation ID t_100022491363476, the resulting content ID will be: 558021681218098-t_1200750755
Posts
To label specific page's post, prefix the post ID with page ID.
Example: Given page ID 164929129743 and post ID 10156439716079744, the resulting content ID is: 164929129743_10156439716079744
Post Comments
To label specific comment to a post, prefix the comment ID with post ID.
Example: Given post ID 10156439716079744 and comment ID 10156440099689744, the resulting content ID will be: 10156439716079744_10156440099689744.

Note: You can verify post and comment IDs by inserting them as path to Facebook URL. For example facebook.com/10156439716079744_10156440099689744 redirects to the comment. These composite IDs are compatible with Graph API too.
