Facebook graph api reach

I'm trying to get reach using the graph api for the previous 7 days. For this I used 

me/insights?metric=page_impressions_unique&period=day&since=1462924800&until=1463529600

The problem is that the total reach returned by the above url is not equal with the reach displayed on the facebook website/ insights tab(please see the fig1 for more details). Using the api I get Reach 2293, BUT facebook displays 494 people reached, for the same period of time.

I'm thinking that maybe i'm not using the same metric as facebook does, maybe they are displaying the reach per post and not per page, but this is only my theory.

Can you please help me out to determine the same value as facebook does?

Thanks, Catalin

The issue is with you query. You're querying for the metrics on yourself. Replace 'me' with the page id. 

<page_id>/insights?metric=page_impressions_unique&period=day&since=1462924800&until=1463529600
