To create a Facebook Post Insights API data stream, you need a valid Facebook user account with permissions to manage the page.

1. On the **Connect and Mix** tab, expand **Data Streams**.
2. Click **Add New**.
3. Select the **Facebook Post Insights** connector.
4. In the **General** section, enter your credentials, and select the page that you want to pull data for. Selecting multiple pages creates a new data steam for each page selected.
5. To add a data source authentication, click **Add New** and enter your Facebook credentials.
6. In the **Extended Properties** section, you can enter the page ID. Only one ID can be used for a single data stream.
7. To change the mapping, click **Mapping**. Otherwise, you can always access mapping by selecting **Map to Model** at the bottom of the **Create New Stream** page.
8. To define advanced settings, at the bottom of the screen, select **Advanced Settings**.
9. Click **Create**.
10. Quality check your data:
    1. Create a report for Facebook Post Insights.
    2. Process the relevant data stream in Marketing Cloud Intelligence.
    3. Create an identical report or pivot table in Marketing Cloud Intelligence with the same dimensions, and measurements.
    4. Compare the measurement totals to make sure that they’re aligned.
