How to Query SharePoint online modern site page views?

Question

_{Monday, August 20, 2018 11:43 PM}

Currently i am building a SPFx web part to query social components on SP modern site pages, such as comments, likes and views.

I can successfully retrieve the comments and likes following https://www.eliostruyf.com/getting-likes-and-comments-from-modern-pages/, but cannot find a solution to retrieve view counts. After some research, i can see we might be able to use undocumented API to query this information, but this is not what i need, are there any simple ways we can query this information?

Hi,

As a workaround, we can use Search REST API and managed properties to get page views.

https://****.sharepoint.com/sites/dennis/_api/search/query?querytext='ContentType:*path:https://***.sharepoint.com/sites/dennis'&selectproperties='contenttype,Title,path,ViewsLifeTime,ViewsLifeTimeUniqueUsers'

Here is a similar thread for your reference.

Hi Dennis, don't think this approach is working for modern site page, i just tired it, both ViewsLifeTime and ViewsLifeTimeUniqueUsers are NULL.
