facebook insights do not match with the graph api

I'm trying to replicate the facebook insights page,(on my website) using graph api.

The problem is that the metrics I get using graph api do not match with the ones displayed on facebook website(picture1) for the same period of time.

enter image description here

Let's take for example 1.reach and 2.engagement, as it is shown in the picture, facebook showsthat I have 2328 Post reach, and 516 Post engagement for the period: 16-22 May

I tried to get the same numbers using graph api so: 1. for reach I used (page_impressions_unique) metric 2. for engagement I used (page_engaged_users) metric

As I said I get wrong numbers, so I'm thinking that maybe facebook is using another metrics than I do.

Can you please help me to get the same values for reach and engagement as the ones displayed on the facebook page?

Thanks

If you are in any of the US timezones, try moving your date range back a day in Facebook Insights. We had the same problem because the API pulls in GMT.
