Are Uber's API's still accessible? I have seen endless posts all over the internet about people trying to access them, but never any answers. I am able to authorize however I am limited by scopes. I am unable to request limited access to scopes through the uber developer dashboard as that section is completely blank for me. I am also unable to add scopes through the authorize API shown below as it just returns invalid_scope
https://login.uber.com/oauth/v2/authorize?client_id=<Client ID>&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost&scope=request
I am just curious, are these even still available? If so, how were you able to add scopes to your account. All I want to do is estimate the price of a ride from one location to another.

I have a question about Graph Api from Facebook. We want to create tool to management accounts in facebook and groups releated with them.
Basic functionality of tool is possibility to add acounts to the system, and then add you can add multiple facebook accounts to each of them. Then, system get all posts from groups releated with facebook accounts.
I did research, and I know quite what is possible and what no, but many endpoints of API requires app review. My question is about this review - wheater app like that, when one user can add multiple facebook accouns and use data (like posts, comments) from them is allowed by facebook and will pass the review?
That depends on what exactly you mean by “accounts” …
Facebook pages? Sure, you can let your app user add as many of those as they like, for the purpose of managing them, reading feed data, etc.
User profiles? That would not really make sense, because every person is only allowed to have one personal profile on the platform to begin with. And adding other people’s profiles (by having them authorize your app, using their access tokens on behalf of someone else) is likely not going to fly in review either.
when one user can add multiple facebook accouns and use data (like posts, comments) from them is allowed by facebook
“Using data” is rather vague as well; what you can and can’t do with user data is outlined in the Platform Policy: https://developers.facebook.com/policy
I'm working on a project where an app displays events in the near surrounding based on the personal preferences of the user. We plan on getting the events from the Facebook Graph API using this approach. Due to Facebook's API changes it is much more complicated to search for events in a particular city. Therefore it requires much more API calls than before and i'm worried about FB rate limit.
We want to get the information about events by calling the Graph API with our app access token from our server and then store the data temporarily in our own database. So every time a user searches for events in our app, the client gets the information from our database. Moreover the user can (but don't has to) log-in with his Facebook account in order to provide us more information about him. We want to use the user's access token to call the API in order to get the user's likes.
I've read the FB documentation about the rate limits and some posts here on the site. Apparently FB calculates the number of calls based on the active users (200 calls per user every hour). It says that
"These limits apply to calls made using any access token other than a
page access token"
ergo they also apply to the app access token. Additionally in the FB policy it says something about 100M calls per day.
So my questions are:
How does the rate limit work on a per user basis if I am using my App Access Token?
To what token does the "100M" number belong? Is it an overall number for all tokens used by the app?
A similiar question has been posted here some time ago but didn't receive any answers. I hope maybe someone got new information since then. An answer to these questions is crucial to our project, so bear with me if you've read that question before.
Thanks in advance!

I'm spinning my wheels over here and could use some help.
For our internal app analytics system, I have a script that currently uses the FB App Insights Reporting API to get basic Fb Audience Network ad metric data (requests, impressions, revenue, etc.):
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.6/application/app_insights
It only reports data by day though (even though it misleadingly returns a Timestamp with the response), and we now have a business need to collect this data by hour, so we can accurately generate reports for any time zone.
I came across another part of the Graph API that seems built for this specific reporting purpose, and, according to the documentation, does support hourly granularity:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.6/user/adnetworkanalytics
I am moderately familiar/comfortable with FB API security and design, but for the life of me I cannot get anything but an empty data list back from this API edge. Sample request:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/<user_id>/adnetworkanalytics?since=1467176400&until=1467262800&event_name=fb_ad_network_request&aggregateBy=COUNT&breakdowns[0]=country&breakdowns[1]=placement&breakdowns[2]=app&period=hourly&access_token=<user_token>
From what I can tell this means that the 'User' (me, or technically the dummy app I have set up to access Insight API data through) does not have correct permissions to access this data, and indeed when I check my permissions I do not see the associated permission, read_audience_network_insights listed.
I have tried to add the permission to the app I am accessing this through by adding the permission through the Graph API Explorer in the dialog that pops up when you select 'Get User Access Token.' However, even after adding there I still do not have the associated permission granted, even though it shows in the dialog if I go through the process again:
I think this is because I have to submit this App to FB Review for that specific permission, but when I try that, I do not see the permission available to be selected for review.
SUMMARY:
Like my title says, my goal is just to get my FB Audience Network data by hour. I'm open to any programmatic way of doing this (preferably something I can implement in a python script). If that means someone helping me get permission and successfully use the adnetworkanalytics edge that is great. If it is through other means I am not aware of yet, that is great too. Thank you!
I want to pull ad data (campaigns, ad sets, & metrics like clicks/impressions/ctr) from Facebook using their API and put it into a database. Facebook's documentation says I need to create an app on their site in order to access the API, but that doesn't seem right. I'm not trying to create an app for my fb page, just want to extract data.
My first choice was to use an ODBC driver from
CData
, which does allowed me to successfully pull data from AdAccounts but threw an error when trying to get AdSets or AdStatistics:
OAuthException Code 10: You do not have sufficient permissions to perform this action.
I made sure to add in a target='act_{myAdAccountId}' parameter to the query, as per their documentation, but it didn't help. I figured this meant I didn't configure the driver properly, so maybe I'd have better luck just coding up a solution in python or php.
Next, I tried to run similar API calls using the Graph API Explorer and got the same error message. I created an access token that had all the extended permissions and then made a request to
GET /v2.4/act_{myAdAccountId}/adcampaigns.
This gave me the exact same OAuthException Code 10 error that I was getting through the ODBC Driver.
Can someone confirm whether it's possible to pull data from the API without building an app? If so, what permissions do I need to enable for my account? I'm already an Ad Account Admin in the "Ads Manager", and couldn't find anywhere else to set permissions.
Thanks!
Apps have no direct relation to Pages. You need to create an App for any API access. I did not use the Ads API yet, but i assume you need to use the ads_management permission with your App.
How to create Apps and authorize with the required permissions is explained in the docs: https://developers.facebook.com/docs
Since you asked about Login Review, all the information you need about that can be found in the docs too: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/review
I understand this is an old post, but in case if anyone was looking at a similar situation, I was able to call the Facebook Marketing API without building an app.
I posted a similar answer on another more recent question (Do I need a publicly accessible webserver in order to user Facebook's marketing API?), and was curious if this situation puzzled anyone else, which led me to here.
I wrote my API calls using Python 2.7 on Juypter notebook, and I just followed Facebook's Marketing API documentation and examples, modifying with my access tokens and account information.
I am still new to Facebook Graph API, and trying to start using facebook places search. (search places by location)
https://graph.facebook.com/search?type=place¢er=37.76,122.427&distance=1000
One thing i have noticed is user have to login to their Facebook account to do the search, otherwise the search will be rejected.
Could anyone shine me some light pointing a direction to work around this?
Any links or articles will be appreciated.
Thank you
Yeah, unfortunately I think this is a design flaw (or feature?). By this design, only Facebook authentication users can search for places. Others cannot. It seems more like a capability designed to serve end users than actual apps.
The flaw I see is that many applications out there are trying to offer optional Facebook integration but don't make it obligatory. Unfortunately, as it stands now, the places API can't be used as a service for apps just additional functionality for FB users.
What you are trying to do is not possible. Per the error message: "An access token is required to request this resource." Most of the graph api requires an authenticated user (ie an access token) to make requests. There are only a few calls that can be made without the access token and this is not one of them.
