How to further filter Facebook Graph API query on Graph API Explorer for my ad account? – Facebook api

I’m trying to get the ad spend and mobile app installs for my app using the Facebook Graph API v2.11 for marketing. In the Graph API Explorer, when I try

/act_<my account>/campaigns?fields=insights{actions,spend}&time_range={'since':'2017-07-07','until':'2017-12-12'}

In the output, under “insights”, I get an object of this type:

    "data": [
      {
        "actions": [             
          {
            "action_type": "comment",
            "value": "3"
          },
          {
            "action_type": "like",
            "value": "33"
          },
          {
            "action_type": "link_click",
            "value": "1531"
          },
          {
            "action_type": "mobile_app_install",
            "value": "1049"
          }
        ],
        "spend": "8621.03",
        "date_start": "2017-10-28",
        "date_stop": "2017-11-26"
      }
    ]

If I want it to fetch only the actions where action type is “mobile_app_install”, how can I further filter my query?

    I have gone through the documentation as well as the adsinsights.py file on github but I cannot find a way to limit the number of action_types returned. You will simply have to do the filtering after you have retrieved the data from the api.

    There is possible to filter that on Facebook side just call it like that:

    /act_<yourAdAccount>/insights
  ?level=campaign
  &fields=actions,spend
  &time_increment=all_days
  &time_range={'since':'2017-07-07','until':'2017-12-12'}
  &filtering=[{field: "action_type",operator:"IN", value: ['mobile_app_install']}]
  &use_account_attribution_setting=true
