    token: "Replace with your facebook access token",
    period: "day",
    metrics: ["page_views"],

var pageStream = new FacebookInsightStream( options )
    //  return list of insights  e.g [ { name: "mypage", views: "10" } ]
    .on( "data", console.log )
    // "oAuth error"
    .on( "error", console.log )

    .on( "progress", console.log )

Item list

The itemList parameter can have be passed in two forms:

1. An array of page ids. Eg: ["PAGE_ID1", "PAGE_ID2", "PAGE_ID3"]. This can be used when fetching nodes of type post or app.
2. An array of page objects including id and page access_tokens. Eg: [{id: "PAGE_ID1", token: "ABC"}, {id: "PAGE_ID2", token: "DEF"}] When an access_token is passed with each object - it is used for the requests instead of the top level user token. This can be used when fetching nodes of type page.
