Hi Ben,thanks for the good work – really helped me a lot setting up a google Dashboard for social media monitoring!For the facebook problem I could find a workaround extracting the likedata out of the meta-data of the fb page. It’s clunky (I think it gets tangled up in the fb security check), but it works in the long run. Using the following formula:=IMPORTXML(https://www.facebook.com/buzzfeed, “//meta[@name=’description’]/@content”)returns the string:“BuzzFeed. 8.189.336 likes · 1.507.877 talking about this. Worth sharing.”REGEXEXTRACT gets the value of likes/followers out of the string, here for values up to hundreds of millions:=Value(Regexextract(G59,”([0-9]\d0,3.[0-9]\d0,3.[0-9]\d0,3|[0-9]\d0,3.[0-9]\d0,3|[0-9]\d0,3).likes”))(which for sure can be optimized).Best,Jo
