I’m running a few fql queries to try and pull insights data into my own tables where i could display them. The problem is that nothing is returned- here is a sample query

SELECT metric, value FROM insights WHERE object_id='000' AND metric='application_stream_stories' AND end_time = end_time_date('2012-04-02') AND period=period('day')

This returns a pair of empty square brackets. It doesn’t even return the column names with the zero value.

If i do another query- this time changing the metric- it returns a zero value json array

SELECT metric, value FROM insights WHERE object_id='000' AND metric='application_active_users' AND end_time = end_time_date('2012-04-02') AND period=period('month')

and the result- 

[{"metric":"application_active_users","value":0}]

i have tried these queries use php and the fql console on facebook- does this table work (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/insights/#application_content) i have cycled through most of the metrics finding nothing working.

    Yes it works, ensure you have the read_insights permission. If you don’t you will get an empty array. application_active_users does not need read_insights only a valid access token.

    Any valid access_token for the publicly available application_active_users metric
