Obtain the Facebook Page ID

Enter the Facebook page ID that is linked to the Instagram Business account. When a user creates or converts an Instagram account to a business account, the user is required to link the Instagram Account to a Facebook page.

Extended User Access Token

Facebook User Access token, by default, is a short-lived Access token.

Obtain a long-lived Access token to run a scheduled job in the Treasure Data platform:

• Follow the steps in this article to obtain a long-lived User Access token via the Facebook tool
• Follow these steps to obtain a long-lived token using Facebook API

If you run a job using TD Console, the connector already exchanged a long-lived access token for you.

The following permissions (scopes) are required:

• public_profile
• email manage_pages
• pages_show_list
• instagram_basic
• instagram_manage_insights
• instagram_manage_comments
• ads_management

Use TD Console to Create Your Connection

Create a New Authentication

When you configure a data connection, you provide authentication to access the integration. In Treasure Data, you configure the authentication and then specify the source information.

1. Open TD Console.

2. Navigate to Integrations Hub > Catalog

3. Search and select Instagram User & Media Insights.

   

4. Select an existing OAuth connection for Instagram Insights or the link under OAuth connection to create a new one.

Create a new OAuth connection

Instagram OAuth uses Facebook OAuth, so you are taken to the Facebook OAuth page.

1. Log into your Facebook account:

   

2. Grant access to the Treasure Data app by selecting the Continue as button.

   

3. You will be redirected back to the Catalog. Repeat the first step (Create a new authentication) and choose your new OAuth connection.

   

4. Name your new authentication. Select Done.

Transfer Your Instagram Account Data to Treasure Data

After creating the authenticated connection, you are automatically taken to Authentications.

1. Search for the connection you created.
2. Select New Source.

Connection

1. The Connection page opens.
2. Type a name for your Source in the Data Transfer field.

Source Table

1. Select Next. The Source Table page opens.
2. Edit the following parameters in the Source Table.

Data Settings

Data Settings allows you to customize the Transfer.

1. Select Next. The Data Settings page opens.
2. Optionally, edit the data settings or skip this page of the dialog.

Data Preview

You can see a preview of your data before running the import by selecting Generate Preview. Data preview is optional and you can safely skip to the next page of the dialog if you choose to.

1. Select Next. The Data Preview page opens.
2. If you want to preview your data, select Generate Preview.
3. Verify the data.

Data Placement

For data placement, select the target database and table where you want your data placed and indicate how often the import should run.

1. Select Next. Under Storage, you will create a new or select an existing database and create a new or select an existing table for where you want to place the imported data.

2. Select a Database > Select an existing or Create New Database.

3. Optionally, type a database name.

4. Select a Table> Select an existing or Create New Table.

5. Optionally, type a table name.

6. Choose the method for importing the data.

   • Append (default)-Data import results are appended to the table. If the table does not exist, it will be created.
   • Always Replace-Replaces the entire content of an existing table with the result output of the query. If the table does not exist, a new table is created.
   • Replace on New Data-Only replace the entire content of an existing table with the result output when there is new data.

7. Select the Timestamp-based Partition Key column. If you want to set a different partition key seed than the default key, you can specify the long or timestamp column as the partitioning time. As a default time column, it uses upload_time with the add_time filter.

8. Select the Timezone for your data storage.

9. Under Schedule, you can choose when and how often you want to run this query.

Run once

1. Select Off.
2. Select Scheduling Timezone.
3. Select Create & Run Now.

Repeat Regularly

1. Select On.
2. Select the Schedule. The UI provides these four options: @hourly, @daily and @monthly or custom cron.
3. You can also select Delay Transfer and add a delay of execution time.
4. Select Scheduling Timezone.
5. Select Create & Run Now.

After your transfer has run, you can see the results of your transfer in Data Workbench > Databases.

Use the Command Line to creat' a'Connection

Install ‘td’ command

Install the newest Treasure Data Toolbelt.

Create Seed Config File (seed.yml)

in:
  access_token: EAAZAB0rX...EOdIc5YqAZDZD
  type: instagram_insight
  facebook_page_name: 172411252833693
  data_type: user
  incremental: true
  since: 2020-03-20
  until: 2020-04-10
  use_individual_metrics: true
  incremental_user_metrics:
    - value: email_contacts-day
    - value: impressions-days_28
out:
  mode: append

Configuration keys and descriptions are as follows:

For more details on available out modes, see Appendix.

Guess Fields (Generate load.yml)

Use connector:guess. This command automatically reads the target data and intelligently guesses the missing parts.

$ td connector:guess seed.yml -o load.yml

If you open the load.yml file, you see the guessed config.

---in:  access_token: EAAZA.....dIc5YqAZDZD  type: instagram_insight  facebook_page_name: '172411252833693'  data_type: user  incremental: true  since: '2020-03-20'  until: '2020-04-10'  use_individual_metrics: true  incremental_user_metrics:  - {value: email_contacts-day}  - {value: impressions-days_28}out: {mode: append}exec: {}filters:- from_value: {mode: upload_time}  to_column: {name: time}  type: add_time

Then you can preview the data by using the preview command.

$ td connector:preview load.yml

Execute Load Job

Submit the load job. It may take a couple of hours, depending on the data size. Users need to specify the database and table where their data is stored.

$ td connector:issue load.yml --database td_sample_db --table td_sample_table

The preceding command assumes that you have already created database(td_sample_db) and table(td_sample_table). If the database or the table does not exist in TD, this command will not succeed, so create the database and table manually or use --auto-create-table option with td connector:issue command to automatically create the database and table:

$ td connector:issue load.yml --database td_sample_db --table td_sample_table --time-column created_at --auto-create-table

You can assign the Time Format Column to the "Partitioning Key" by the "--time-column" option.

Scheduled Execution

You can schedule periodic data connector execution. We carefully configure our scheduler to ensure high availability. By using this feature, you no longer need a cron daemon on your local data center.

Create the Schedule

A new schedule can be created by using the td connector:create command. The name of the schedule, cron-style schedule, the database and table where their data is stored, and the data connector configuration file are required.

$ td connector:create \    daily_users_import \    "10 0 * * *" \    td_sample_db \    td_sample_table \    load.yml

The cron parameter also accepts three special options: @hourly, @daily and @monthly.

Incremental Scheduling

You can load records incrementally by settinyou're for the incremental option.

in: type: instagram_insight ... incremental: trueout: mode: append

If you’re using scheduled execution, the connector automatically saves the last import time time_created value and holds it internally. Then it is used at the next scheduled execution.

in:  type: instagram_insight  ...out:  ...Config Diff---in:  time_created: '2020-02-02T15:46:25Z'

List the Schedules

You can see the list of scheduled entries by td connector:list.

$ td connector:list

Show the Setting and History of Schedules

td connector:show shows the execution setting of a schedule entry.

$ td connector:show daily_leads_import

td connector:history shows the execution history of a schedule entry. To investigate the results of each individual execution, use td job jobid.

Delete the Schedule

td connector:delete removes the schedule.

$ td connector:delete daily_users_import

Modes for the Out Plugin

You can specify file import mode in the out section of the load.yml file.

The out: section controls how data is imported into a Treasure Data table. For example, you may choose to append data or replace data in an existing table in Treasure Data.
