Description: Facilitates querying data from the ‘Facebook Marketing
API', particularly for social science research
. 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) ),
disease surveillance (Araujo et al. (2017)
), and measuring migration
(Alexander, Polimis, and Zagheni (2020)
). 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.
