'Facebook Marketing API' Social Watcher

Facilitates querying data from the ‘Facebook Marketing API', particularly for social science research < https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-apis/>. Data from the 'Facebook Marketing API' has been used for a variety of social science applications, such as for poverty estimation (Marty and Duhaut (2024) ), disease surveillance (Araujo et al. (2017) ), and measuring migration (Alexander, Polimis, and Zagheni (2020) ). The package facilitates querying the number of Facebook daily/monthly active users for multiple location types (e.g., from around a specific coordinate to an administrative region) and for a number of attribute types (e.g., interests, behaviors, education level, etc). The package supports making complex queries within one API call and making multiple API calls across different locations and/or parameters.
