Hi,
Did anyone ever tried to import facebook data to SQL with SSIS? I know that I have to use API. Can anybody share a sample?
Thanks

You can query Facebook with PowerBI and then once it's there, probably import that using SSIS.

Yes.That was my though. But there is no direct link between Power BI (Power Query) and SQL.

I was thinking (beside using API) to:

1. Import in Power Query

2. Load to Excel

3. Load Excel to SQL

You could have PowerQuery load a table in excel, create macro to refresh upon open, use windows events to schedule the book to open and refresh, have SSIS read from excel. Kinda wonky but would work.
