Instagram Insight Metrics with Facebook Graph API – Facebook api

I am trying to use the Facebook Graph API to GET Instagram metrics such as post impressions. I was able to successfully pull my Instagram Follow Count by using this query 

{instagram_user_id}?fields=follow_count

When I try to query my post impressions with

{instagram-media-id}/insights?fields=post_impressions

nothing shows up. Am I missing something or have I possibly not requested the correct permissions?

I am trying to follow the documentation at the below link. Is it even possible to pull the impressions through the Facebook Graph API?

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/instagram-media/insights/

Thanks!

    Have you tried to specify “period” parameter? By default it might not be a “lifetime” and if you did not generate any impression recently you will see nothing (empty array i assume). In case you missing some permissions, Facebook will make you aware in response.

    I believe that it wasn’t possible to pull insights using the older version of the API.

    However now it is possible as instagram / facebook just released a new version of their Graph API that includes insights. The request would be:

    v2.10/{instagram_media_id}/insights?metric=impressions

    The new documentation can be found here
