I have a Facebook page of my own. What I would like is to access the posts in that page as a JSON by sending an API call. I do not need to return the content as a embedded web page like we get in the oEmbed. What is the approach to that?
In the Facebook developer dashboard I have created an application, which means, I have Client Token and App ID incase I need to have access_token to pass.
I know the Page ID of the Facebook page that I need to access
Is that a must Facebook Login integrated to retrieve such public page content?
When I run following command (True values of page_id, app_id & client_access removed here)
curl -i -X GET "https://graph.facebook.com/page_id?access_token=app_id|client_access"
I'm getting following error
{
"error":{
"message":"(#100) Object does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permission or reviewable feature, or does not support this operation.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v9.0/page/feed
This documentation explains how to access the posts.
You will need to navigate to this URL ( https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
) and add the required permissions for page access. Then choose the Page Token on the right side where it says "User or Page"
You will need page token to access anything page related

I need to create a Meta application that posts scheduled content on the Instagram page of the company. The app is now in dev mode, and used through the Graph API and cURL.
After getting an Instagram user token on the Graph Explorer with all the required permissions (email, pages_show_list, ads_management, business_management, instagram_basic, instagram_content_publish, publish_to_groups, pages_read_engagement, pages_manage_posts, public_profile) and getting the ig-user-id through the GET /v13.0/me?fields=id,name API call, i make the container generation call, as described in the docs:
curl -i -X POST https://graph.facebook.com/{{ig-user-id}}/media?
image_url=https://{{image-url}}&caption={{text}}&access_token={{token}}
To which I get as a response:
Unsupported post request. Object with ID '{{ig-user-id}}' does not exist, cannot be
loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation.
I tried to generate a Page token in spite of an User token, to use the Page ID in spite of the Used scoped app ID provided by the Graph API but the result has always been the same. One thing I noticed is, trying to get the IG user ID as described on the getting started page, point 5, to my request:
curl -i -X GET "https://graph.facebook.com/v13.0/{{page-id}}?
fields=instagram_business_account&access_token={{token}}"
The response is just {"id":"{{page-id}}"} in spite of the expected
{
"instagram_business_account": {
"id": "17841405822304914" // Connected IG User ID
},
"id": "134895793791914" // Facebook Page ID
}
So it appears it might be a permissions issue. Now, on the Business Settings for the business the app is related:
I'm listed under Users -> People as Administrator and Developer
I'm listed under Account -> Instagram Account -> People with all the permissions (Content, Community Activity, etc.) granted but messages (Impossible to assign - Available only on Instagram)
I'm listed onder Account -> Apps -> {{App Name}} -> People twice with all permissions granted.
Could anyone help me solve the issue? Thanks in advance.
This is my code:
var getPageToken = 'https://graph.facebook.com/v3.3/'+pageid+'…;
request(getPageToken, function(errorPageToken, responsePageToken) {
console.log(errorPageToken);
console.log(responsePageToken);
});
For few pages I'm getting the Page Token. Whereas, with few pages I'm getting the below error.
Error:
Page Public Content Access\', your use of this endpoint must be reviewed and approved by Facebook
Few pages have access via Business Manager, few pages have access via personal account. In both cases I'm facing the issue, its very random and I'm unable to identify the cause, any help would be appreciated.
Finally figured out that the problem was with the access_token I was passing to retrieve the pageid.
I had multiple accounts set up to fetch data. While linking the page with access_token I made a mistake.
That was the cause for the error.
So I have been watching some tutorials about the facebook graph API, and one of the things in the video is to simply navigate to http://graph.facebook.com/youtube
and it should display a json response of their facebook likes etc. This is said to work without an access token?
But this doesn't seem to work, i get the following response -
{
"error": {
"message": "An access token is required to request this resource.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 104,
"fbtrace_id": "DoY144sSuti"
}
}
Has something changed that you will need to always need an access token just to see peoples data, eg how many likes a page has?

Yes. Since API v2.0, all API calls (with the profile picture redirect being the exception) need to use an access token.
Public data about public pages can be accessed using an app access token; if the page is not public it needs a user access token for a user that can see the page, or a page access token. (More about the different types of token here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens)

Then that tutorial is simply outdated.
Yes you will need the access token in order to view that Jason data in URL .
try this Instead :
https://graph.facebook.com/page-id/posts?access_token={your-access- token}
You will be able to see the posts now.Hope this would help you .
I am not the owner of some page but i want access the pages reviews and ratings,Each access time i am getting empty data set
> http="https://graph.facebook.com/102227700571/tabs/reviews?access_token=fb_oauth"
> content=callAPIInfo(http,fb_oauth)
> content
$data
list()
I saw some of the similar12 question but didnt get my answer,I dont wanna collect page access tokens from the admin of each pages,Is it possible to fetch review and rating.thanks.
EDIT
Finally i find a very detailed answer by ifaour for access pages token by admin and its necessary to take page access token so here is how to get page access token and review and rating
Go to the Graph API Explorer
Choose your app from the dropdown menu
Click "Get Access Token"
Choose the manage_pages permission (you may need the user_events permission too, not sure)
Now access the me/accounts connection and copy your page's access_token Click on
your page's id Add the page's access_token to the GET fields Call
the connection you want (e.g.: PAGE_ID/events)
access_token="xxx" #[what u find above]
> content=callAPIInfo(http,access_token)
> content
$data
$data[[1]]
$data[[1]]$created_time
[1] "2014-04-13T11:37:26+0000"
$data[[1]]$reviewer
$data[[1]]$reviewer$name
[1] "abc"
$data[[1]]$reviewer$id
[1] "100000579606903"
$data[[1]]$rating
[1] 4
$data[[1]]$review_text
[1] "Enjoy having coffee here...:)"
See, all-most all the graph API calls needs an access token for access else you'll not get the result.
The different APIs require different kinds of access tokens, some required current user's access token, some requires page access token and some require app access token. And there are also some APIs that can use either of these tokens.
You want to get the rating/reviews of a page. If you read the official documentation for the same (/{page-id}/ratings), it clearly says-
A page access token is required to retrieve this data.
So you have to have the page access token to get the ratings/reviews of that page. (and for that you should add manage_pages permission and get the page access token with /{page-id}?fields=access_token)
I am working on a Joomla site and using myApi to handle most facebook integrations. The like button is working fine and picking up information from the og meta tags inserted by myApi.
On the website, the user can login using facebook - I have added the publish_actions permission to the myApi code, and I know this is being requested because when authorising the app, the oauth dialog says that actions like ordering from restaurants (the action i added to my fb app) will be posted to the timeline.
now, while ordering, I check whether the user has an entry in the myApi user table and if so, I provide a checkbox that lets the customer choose whether she wants the order action posted to her timeline. if ticked, I then use curl to try and post the order action to facebook. I have been using my account to test - I have authorised the app with all permissions requested. I use the myApi interface to get my user access token. I am adding the access_token and object url to the url as querystring parameters and then posting to it through curl.
The curl response I get is:
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>400 Bad Request</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Method Not Implemented</H1>
Invalid method in request<P>
</BODY></HTML>
the response I get when going to the generated url in my browser is
{
"data": [
],
"paging":{
"next": "https://graph.facebook.com/me/og_collegekhana:order_from?restaurant=http\u00253A\u00252F\u00252Fwww.collegekhana.com\u00252Fstates\u00252Ftamil-nadu\u00252Fcampus-1\u00252Feat-1&access_token=[the token I got]&offset=25&limit=25"
}
}
I checked the object id of the url using
https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://www.collegekhana.com/states/tamil-nadu/campus-1/eat-1
I am not getting an object id. instead I get
{
"http://www.collegekhana.com/states/tamil-nadu/campus-1/eat-1": {
"id": "http://www.collegekhana.com/states/tamil-nadu/campus-1/eat-1"
}
}
I am completely lost and hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong.
The problem was that instead of doing a cURL POST, one has to add the querystring parameter
method=post to the URL.
