Facebook is deprecating a number of metrics on September 14 2024 that will have an impact on analytics and reporting in Sked Insights. This impacts all API users, 3rd party analytics providers, and Facebook's own reporting tools.

The following metrics will no longer be supported, and the metrics cards will be hidden from Sked Insights. Many of these items were no longer in use with New Page Experience (NPE), or we have moved to using the newer versions where updates have been made available with the NPE rollout.

For full details on the changes, view the developer announcement or the developer changelog


We'll continue to look at new metrics added by Meta, or calculated metrics that we can add to Sked Insights​ to fill in the gaps left the by the removals.


​The following metrics are in use in Sked insights, and are being removed.
