No insights data returning from Ads Insights API (/insights)

Question

Graph API Explorer returning following get request

act_396592**/insights?fields=actions

AS

{
"data": [
        ]
}

I have also tried using ad id and time range

/6072038816***/insights?fields=impressions&since=2017-08-01&until=2017-08-10

Note: This account has enough ads. I have taken ads_read permission.

Answer 1

act_396592**/insights

Above Request didn't work, because Facebook by default shows last 30 days insights doc. If the ad wasn't active within last 30 days then empty data returns.

/6072038816***/insights?fields=impressions&since=2017-08-01&until=2017-08-10

Above request did't work, because parameters are wrong. I don't know why it didn't throw any error. Its indeed confusing. The one of correct ways is, using time_range

/6072038816***/insights?fields=impressions&time_range={'since':'2017-08-01','until':'2017-08-10'}

or using date_preset

/insights?fields=reach&date_preset=lifetime
