We're currently trying to Add People to a Facebook Pixel by code instead of manually doing it. We were checking their API and it seems there's a way to create a Pixel, but we have yet to find out a way to add people into this pixel. The only thing that looks like sending a user param is this, however, I don't think we want to create an event for an external user...
Is it even possible to add people to the pixel with the current Facebook API? If so, what's the correct approach to deal with this?
We were able to solve this issue. We just needed to include the pixelId and assigned_users as shown in the following POST request:
POST REQUEST
{FB_API_PATH}/{pixelId}/assigned_users?access_token={FB_ACCESS_TOKEN}&business={FB_BUSINESS_MANAGER_ID}
BODY
{
"user": "{fbUserId}",
"tasks": ["ANALYZE", "EDIT", "UPLOAD", "ADVERTISE", "AA_ANALYZE"]
}

I'm working in a React-Native app, and I'm also allowing users to login using FBSDK.
There seems to be an issue at the moment when trying to get the profile picture URL.
There are also several reports of this, like this one but still, after a year doesn't seem to be solved.
Attempted many ways but none worked, it always tries to download the file, seems it's missing the mime-type according to what the browser says.
The URL it gives is the following:
https://platform-lookaside.fbsbx.com/platform/profilepic/?asid={{myfbid}}&height=50&width=50&ext=1583348357&hash=AeTnFpMVwBXgFy_J
Also tried using the graph url directly: http://graph.facebook.com/{myid}/picture
And if I add the &redirect=false, it returns a data object with the platform-lookaside URL.
Everything I try, it tries to download.
This is how I'm currently trying to get the image using Graph API.
new GraphRequestManager().addRequest(new GraphRequest(
'/me',
{
accessToken: fbToken,
parameters: {
fields: {
string: 'picture.type(large)'
}
}
},
graphRequestCallback
)).start();
It works, but the URL is the same.
Any idea on how can I solve this? I might be missing something or the bug is still happening?
If you just change the graph url (http://graph.facebook.com/{myid}/picture) from http to https, it should work for you. Not sure if that's a new fix in React Native or not, but that solved it for me.
After many tries, I'm not getting how we can use the Facebook API to create a simple Ad based on a Post (and it's creative) like it is possible in the Business Manager.
For example, my last attempt failed due to a problem with Instagram:
Facebook API: Instagram Account Is Missing
If there is anybody that has been able to create a basic Ad (within a given or new AdSet) based on a Post, please help me. I've seen many questons like this (especially regarding the Instagram problem) and now I'd like to have a working solution.
What exact requests have to be done or isn't it possible at all?
THe Instagram placement is added by default in the targeting, so if you want to skip it you need to specify in the targeting field when creating the adSet in the publisher field:
{
"geo_locations":{"countries":["US"]},
publisher_platforms: ['facebook'],
facebook_positions: ['feed', 'right_hand_column'],
device_platforms: ['mobile', 'desktop']
}
If you want to publish on Instagram also you should also provide an instagram actor ID: The AdsCreative should contain an extra field named instagram_actor_id also remember to add Instagram in the related targeting:
{
"geo_locations":{"countries":["US"]},
publisher_platforms: ['facebook','instagram'],
facebook_positions: ['feed', 'right_hand_column'],
instagram_positions: ['stream', 'story'],
device_platforms: ['mobile', 'desktop']
}

Forgive me I'm new to the Facebook graph concept. I've read through the documentation and am a little lost on something that I want to try and do. I have been able to query posts based on a keyword such as "sailing" like so:
http://graph.facebook.com/search?q=sailing&type=post
I see that it returns a result set containing 25 of the most recent posts with the keyword provided. My issue comes when I try to take a post id and query it directly. What I want to do is to be able to take a post id and query it after a 24hr time frame to see if it has received any comments and to see how many likes it has gained since being posted.
I can take the userID_postID and query like:
http://www.facebook.com/userID/posts/postID
I can see the post with the likes but when I try this in the graph:
http://graph.facebook.com/userID/posts/postID
I get the following error message:
{
"error":
{
"message": "Unknown path components: / postID",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 2500
}
}
I've seen where people have commented that if you want to access a post you will need to get an access_token. I'm not sure why you need an access_token to access a post that you originally obtained without one. It doesn't seem to make sense. One thing that I have noticed when trying to do this with different posts is that this seems to be related to accessing posts of an individual rather than a fan page. Whereas a public page such as a fan page seems to return the results.
I also tried querying like:
http://graph.facebook.com/userID_postID/likes
this returns the likes for a public page such as a fan page but doesn't return anything for an individual page. Can anyone help point me in the right direction or maybe give me some explanation on what the proper way to handle this would be? Requesting an access_token from the user is something I do not want to do, this is mainly for a service that we're trying to create that allows us to survey based on a keyword. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
I am trying to publish scores from my app. But unfortunately I am unable to do so. I even tried using the code snippet at http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/539/ but for some odd reason it didn't work for me. If someone can provide me with some basic guidelines I would really be helpful as that would help me build upon that system and move forward. I don't want any fancy publishing technique I am just looking forward to publishing score at the end of the game.
Using https://graph.facebook.com/user id/scores?score=10&access_token=acess_token returns
{
"data": [
]
}
Your example looks like a HTTP GET request (i.e. 'show me the scores of this user')
To update a score you either need to make a POST request, or 'fake' the POST request by adding ?method=post to your GET call
You'll also need to use an App Access Token, the instructions for obtaining this are at:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/#applogin
I've done it using javascript sdk, you can check out the source code for my game
https://apps.facebook.com/tgif-game/
you should be checking out scripts/gameui.js for the calls to posting scores and getting the list of scores.
In the FaceBook Developer Dashboard set your app category as games.
Then only you'll be able to post scores.
I am using Graph API in my application. I am fetching user's facebook wall feeds using graph API also getting details of particular post i.e (Like count,Comments etc).
but i want to allow user to Like and Comment any post from the application itself.
what is the request format for that?
Please help me or give any pointers.

Sanket
You would be well served to check out the Publishing section of the documentation. It provides information such as this.
One example is liking, which is defined as:
Method: /OBJECT_ID/likes
Description: Like the given object (if it has a /likes connection)
Arguments: none
Basically, just initiate a Graph API call to something like:
[facebookObject requestWithGraphPath:#"98423808305/likes" andDelegate:self];
That will "like" a picture from Coca-Cola (ID taken from the documentation).
Edit 1
According to the documentation:
Most write operations require extended permissions for the active user. See the authentication guide for details on how you can request extended permissions from the user during the authentication step.
Are you sure you have enough privileges? Unfortunately the documentation is very unclear as to whether it serves the dual purpose of liking the object and returning the likes already on that object.
Edit 2
I did some more research into what could be causing this and came across this question and answer that indicated that the code I posted above using requestWithGraphPath:: should work. However, it does not due to a bug on Facebook's Bug Tracker.
Unfortunately, it looks like there is no way to "like" an object via the Graph API, which seems very strange to me. Perhaps it is possible with the legacy REST API instead of the Graph API?
Edit 3
Well, it looks like your best bet is the stream.addLike method of the legacy REST API which you can still call using the Facebook iOS SDK. You should be able to use the stream.addLike method to "like" something in the "stream". Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to support photos, videos, etc. Only posts and comments.
Finally i found the solution for LIKE option
We should use following method for like option.
-(void) requestWithGraphPath:(NSString *)graphPath
andParams:(NSMutableDictionary *)params
andHttpMethod:(NSString *)httpMethod
andDelegate:(id <FBRequestDelegate>)delegate
graphPath = /OBJECT_ID/likes
Paramas = dictionary with comment ,for like option use empty dictionary
HttpMethod should be POST
you should get response = true if the LIKE request is successful.
