Connector Improvement: Facebook Pages - Posts 60 second video views (daily) metric
PlannedIt would be really helpful to be able to pull the 'post_video_views_60s_excludes_shorter' metric from the Facebook Insights API. The objective being to have a count of 60 second video views for each facebook post on a page, broken down by the date the views took place. If possible, split by paid/organic, but not essential.

This metric is a key one for publishers who monetise video content on Facebook, since 60+ secs of view time = more commercially valuable content. So getting visibility on what content drives 60s+ views is really important.
Obviously there's a load of other metrics here that aren't included in the current FT connector that would also provide use, but this one is the priority for us.
From an API request perspective, practically speaking, I think you'd have to get all post IDs in an initial request, then iteratively loop through each post to request the individual video views metric for each one (with a condition that the post = video, if possible, but not essential)
Thank you!

Hi Dan, Drew from the Product Team here!
Thanks for sharing this suggestion! Video view metrics have been heavily requested on Facebook Pages and I'm planning on including them in our next quarter.
Thanks for also sharing the amazing context on the value of this particular metric.
