How To Include time range in Since..Until Criteria in Addition to date range

[upchair]

Dear Pablo,

I need to extract posts/comments everyday from facebook. Such daily data should span a period starting at 12 midnight right through to 23:59 PM at the end of the day.

My problem now is how to include the time component in addition to the date component in the following getpage() function in order to achieve my objective.

fb_page_no_nullz<-getPage(page="gtbank", token=fb_oauth,n=1, since='2017/05/21', until='2017/05/21',feed=TRUE)

Thank you

Richard

Hi @upchair -- You can add the times in the since and until parameters. For example:

fb_page_no_nullz<-getPage(page="gtbank", token=fb_oauth,n=1, since='2017/05/21 00:00:00', until='2017/05/21 23:59:59',feed=TRUE)

Pablo Hi, Thanks for your mail. I included the time in exactly the same way you advised  even before I sent you the mail but I kept getting the following error..... "  Error in rjson::fromJSON(rawToChar(url.data$content)) :   unexpected character '<'  " Could you please help me out with what I need to correct based on this error. Thank You Richard

@upchair I honestly have no idea why this could be happening. Everything works for me:

All I can think of is that maybe it's an authentication error? maybe try with a temporary token to see if that fixes the issue?
