## What changed

Since 2025-11-15, on all API versions, requesting the Page and post impressions metrics (page_impressions, page_impressions_paid, page_impressions_viral, page_impressions_nonviral, post_impressions, post_impressions_paid, post_impressions_fan, post_impressions_organic, post_impressions_viral, post_impressions_nonviral) or the fans metrics (page_fans, page_fans_locale, page_fans_city, page_fans_country, page_fan_adds, page_fan_adds_unique, page_fan_removes, page_fan_removes_unique) returns an invalid metric error. SHAPI flags calls that request one of these metrics.

## What to do

Replace page_impressions with page_media_view and post_impressions with post_media_view (use the is_from_ads or is_from_followers breakdowns for the paid, organic and fan splits), and replace page_fans/page_fans_city/page_fans_country with page_follows/page_follows_city/page_follows_country. Remove the other listed metrics; one invalid metric fails the whole insights request.
