Facebook has funny thing about their API. They require timestamps used in their report to be on midnight boundary in your local timezone.
Originally I wrote this code:
facebook_time = DateTime.parse(@run_date.to_s).utc.in_time_zone('America/Los_Angeles').midnight.to_i time_interval="{time_start:#{facebook_time}, time_stop:#{facebook_time+24*3600}}"
That worked great until daylight savings kicked in, and failed with "All time ranges must be midnights", so after a bit of debugging I changed it to this one:
facebook_time = DateTime.parse(@run_date.to_s).utc.in_time_zone('US/Pacific-New').midnight.to_i facebook_time_end = DateTime.parse((@run_date+1).to_s).utc.in_time_zone('US/Pacific-New').midnight.to_i time_interval="{time_start:#{facebook_time}, time_stop:#{facebook_time_end}}"I hope this will help someone spend less time debugging.
