I could successfully able to push users into custom audience in facebook in this endpoint - https://graph.facebook.com/v5.0/audienceid_goes_here/users
Now I need to delete the user from the custom audience. I tried with the same endpoint but am getting OAuth "Facebook Platform" "invalid_request" "Permissions error"
Have provided all admin permissions under business settings to systems users and granted all access. Still not sure how to make this work. Am I missing anything?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Below is the code that I tried
Endpoint - https://graph.facebook.com/v5.0/audience_id_goes_here/users
Method - DELETE
payload={
"schema": [
"EMAIL_SHA256"
],
"data": [
[
"hashed_email_goes_here"
]
]
}
Incase anyone is facing the same issue, below is some of the workaround I did.
Tried the delete users from audience using facebook explorer - https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
This gives clear error of why it failed. In my case it was due to this message You cannot remove users from this audience because it will result in a low audience size. but the error from API in my code was still giving me Permissions error.
After checking from fb explorer i got the clear error message.
So there is no resolution for this and its a valid error message as mentioned here - https://developers.facebook.com/support/bugs/2093728693993530
Custom Audiences must maintain a certain minimum size, though the
specific number is not actually documented. I believe the required
minimum is approximately 100 unique users. If you need to remove so
many users that you're going under this limit, I'd recommend deleting
the custom audience entirely.
Hope it helps someone

I am using Facebook PHP SDK, and trying to create Audience of Custom TYPE from Marketing API, and I am getting following Error:
You'll need to agree to the Custom Audience terms before you can
create or edit an audience of CUSTOM type. To accept, go to
https://business.facebook.com/ads/manage/customaudiences/tos/?act=129260934125705.
Even though I have already accepted the term, I am still getting the error for accepting the terms.
Please find attached screenshot for Terms Acceptance.. Terms & Condition Accepted Screenshot
I would recommend checking the status of tos_accepted via Graph API explorer. You can also use it to debug your Audience Creation calls.
You can check if a Business has signed their Custom Audience terms of service, by making a GET call to an ad account owned by that Business. The ad account can’t be acting on behalf of another business, or be shared. The GET call is:
GET act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>?fields=tos_accepted
A sample response looks like this:
{
"tos_accepted": {
"custom_audience_tos": 1 // this means the terms were signed
},
"id": "act_<AD_ACCOUNT>"
}
Check full docs about TOS here
A bit more info on Custom Audiences
Thanks Artyom Kovalyov.. I have checked the graph API explorer, and this is what I get.
{
"tos_accepted": {
"web_custom_audience_tos": 1,
"custom_audience_tos": 1,
"value_based_custom_audience_tos": 1
},
"id": "act_129260934125705"
}
Please check and let me know if I can do something else to fix the error that I am getting..
It seems ok Vishal. Have you tried to create this same Audience via graph explorer? The ways to go from here are either filing an FB direct support case for your app, they are not usually fast to reply and not every customer is whitelisted for that.
Another assumption is if you try to do it on behalf of your customer with their account, it might be that they have to accept TOS, not you.
FB has a huge amount of setting and from the info, you provide it's pretty hard to tell what exactly fails.
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=sharma&fields=name&type=user&access_token=
I was this URL along with access token and it was giving me user name list that i was using in my project. Only names are my requirement but when today i started to use it i am not getting any data nor any error.
Its only returning this
{
"data": [
]
}
Recently a month ago it was working for me.
Can anyone tell me if they have the same issue or if something has changed?
Is there any other was of getting users name mainly first + last name from fb?
I have found answer of my question which is Fb is no more giving user results for graph search api.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog/breaking-changes#search-4-4
Search API
You can no longer use the /search endpoint with the following object types:
event
group
page
user
I dont know whether its a permanent revoke or temporary but it has something to do with Cambridge analytica data leak issue
https://www.google.co.in/search?biw=1360&bih=662&tbm=nws&ei=-iTXWrrkCYrxvgTTy5GgCw&q=cambridge+analytica+data+leak&oq=cambridge+analytica+data+leak
I hope it will help others to find out why their API is not working anymore.
I am trying to get the campaigns list from the Graph API Explorer. I'm using the request found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/reference/ad-account/campaigns/.
GET /v2.8/{ad-account-id}/campaigns HTTP/1.1
Host: graph.facebook.com
I'm' business manager and admin of the page used for ads. I found the AD_ACCOUNT_IDs using the following request on the Graph API Explorer.
GET /v2.8/me/businesses HTTP/1.1
Host: graph.facebook.com
I choosed the one which had the higher privileges.
The error reported when submitting the first request for campaigns is:
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request. Object with ID '1015359838XXXXXX' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100,
"fbtrace_id": "DLyfwGbM8fi"
}
}
What's wrong?
Thanks in advance,

#Ryan's answer saved my day. It may sound stupid/silly but I was doing this mistake and I was just stuck at it.
Going through the FB docs for using the Marketing Apis.
I was trying to build the custom audience, this is how the curl request looks like -
One of the basic things to keep in mind while using the Marketing API is, almost all the APIs ask for these two things -
1) ACCESS_TOKEN
2) AD_ACCOUNT_ID
For people who are just starting with the FB Marketing API or somehow stuck in finding these values, I will just tell you how to get these values, so that you don't have to waste your time as I did.
So for getting the ACCESS_TOKEN, go to your app dashboard then click Add Product and then select Marketing API. Once you added the product, this is how the screen should look like -
Now just check the permissions and click on the Get Token button, a token would be generated. Just copy the token in some file and save it.
Now for getting the AD_ACCOUNT_ID value, just go to the Adverts Manager page -
The number that is written inside the red box in you Adverts Manager page is your AD_ACCOUNT_ID.
The final step would be to go back to you app dashboard again, Settings > Advanced
Click on Ads API and then enter the AD_ACCOUNT_ID here. Thats it, you have finished the Access and Authentication process for using the marketing API via your App.
Now comes the part where I was doing the silly mistake. The curls request looks like this -
curl \
-F 'name=My new CA' \
-F 'subtype=CUSTOM' \
-F 'description=People who bought from my website' \
-F 'access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/customaudiences
First I replaced ACCESS_TOKEN with its value.
Then instead of replacing only the <AD_ACCOUNT_ID> I replaced the whole string act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>, with the AD_ACCOUNT_ID value.
So I was getting this error while making request to the API which was -
{"error":{"message":"Unsupported post request. Object with ID '120574219' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/graph-api","type":"GraphMethodException","code":100,"fbtrace_id":"YsSvKKwgLMQ"}}
I don't know why I made this mistake but I am sure this is one of the common mistake others are doing too. Since the response from FB was misleading, I wasted a lot of my time in understanding and reading on the API permissions and authentications.
Hope this article was helpful and save your time.
I similarly was having problems trying to retrieve a list of all campaign IDs within an ad account.
I already am able to retrieve campaign data by ID, so I obviously have permissions already.
But the Facebook error message is misleading.
When retrieving an ad account (in order to then display its campaigns or whatever you want within it), you need to retrieve by its ID prepended with 'act_'.
E.g you could request /act_123456789000001234/campaigns instead of /123456789000001234/campaigns.
Thanks so much to #Jan Sommer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/39974857/470749.
As you might know, for loading images from Facebook in our application (in my case AS3) we have to load following policy file:
Security.loadPolicyFile('https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/crossdomain.xml');
otherwise we get following error:
SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: Loader.content: http://test cannot access http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v22941/254/15/q652310588_2173.jpg A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded.
you can find related question here.
I have a Facebook application that is running for long time without problem, but what I am facing today which is bizarre, is that the application gives the same security error message while loading NEW PROFILE PICTURE, and for the profile pictures that have been uploaded about 2-3 weeks ago or earlier, there is no problem.
My question is that did Facebook change its policy? Is it a problem form my side or something is wrong from Facebook? I have googled to see if the Facebook's policy or something else has been changed, but I did not found any clue.
If you go to https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/crossdomain.xml you will see that it returns an error (403 Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /36477/crossdomain/pics-crossdomain.xml on this server) so Flash never gets a valid crossdomain file.
This is an issue that Facebook needs to address.
I know of no way to have Flash ignore crossdomain errors.
as the title says, I can no longer use friends locations with the graph api explorer any more(in https://developers.facebook.com). Even if I click all access token checkboxes,(trying to get me/friends?fields=locations.fields(place)) I still get error(
{
"error": "Request failed"
}). But me/locations?fields=place works, so it must be someting with "friends" that makes it to crash.
I was able use it 2 weeks ago, and I have not done any changes, it just suddenly stoped working. if I login with my test Account I can get all the parameters I request, but not on my primary account. Is there any one that has any idea what the problem can be? or why it occurred? I have done everything that I can think of, from using diffrent web browers, deleting all history, use diffrent computer. I have compared the settings for both my test account and my main account, both have the same settings.
I am sincerely sorry if i have misspelled anything.
It happens for me as well for any of the locations methods, but the location method with out the s works. I don't know if that data is usable for you.
me/friends?fields=location,hometown
I have figured out the reason to this problem. I has to do with requests from facebook's api, if i lower the Limit per request it works. Then to save the information I use offset.
