rsocialwatcher - 'Facebook Marketing API' Social Watcher
Facilitates querying data from the ‘Facebook Marketing
API', particularly for social science research
<https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-apis/>. Data
from the 'Facebook Marketing API' has been used for a variety
of social science applications, such as for poverty estimation
(Marty and Duhaut (2024) <doi:10.1038/s41598-023-49564-6>),
disease surveillance (Araujo et al. (2017)
<doi:10.48550/arXiv.1705.04045>), and measuring migration
(Alexander, Polimis, and Zagheni (2020)
<doi:10.1007/s11113-020-09599-3>). The package facilitates
querying the number of Facebook daily/monthly active users for
multiple location types (e.g., from around a specific
coordinate to an administrative region) and for a number of
attribute types (e.g., interests, behaviors, education level,
etc). The package supports making complex queries within one
API call and making multiple API calls across different
locations and/or parameters.
