I've created a Facebook app, linked it with a business, submitted and passed review, the business is verified, contracts signed, the app has leads_retrieval permission, the app status is now live.
I can test it under the webhooks link in the side menu, my end point receives the test data from Facebook. The data shown below is received by my server.
When I test using the lead ads testing tool I instantly get a 102, server error, and nothing is received by my server. See below for the message.
I've spent so long getting to this stage and every step has been painful!
Can anyone suggest why using the lead ads testing tool results in an error and what I can do to resolve the issue.
Cheers
I've been struggling with this too.. Apparently you can't use it on development apps anymore. Found the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57397525/8439792
I think I found your problem! It is when you subscribe to your apps. Here is the link that shows the subscribed_fields and scope should be:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/54713182/7313872
I was going straight from the demo and the subscribed_fields is set to 'feeds' and the scope was only manage_pages. You need to change it like in the example in the above link. I will also provide the snippets I changed below:
subscribed_fields - in subscribe apps function
FB.api(
'/' + page_id + '/subscribed_apps',
'post',
{access_token: page_access_token, subscribed_fields: 'leadgen'},
function(response) {
console.log('Successfully subscribed page', response);
}
);
scope - end of facebook login function
{scope: ['manage_pages', 'leads_retrieval']});
Hope this helps!
Facebook had the problem in their startup documentation for the webhooks. I have notified them in a bug, and does look like they have fixed the documentation to now subscribe to "leadgen" and not "feeds".

So I am building a restaurant app and one of the features I want is to allow a user of the app to see photos from a particular restaurant's Instagram account.
And I want a user to be able to see this without having to login to their Instagram account, so they shouldn't even need an Instagram account for this to work.
So I have read this answer How can I get a user's media from Instagram without authenticating as a user?
And I tried what it said and used the client_id(which I recieved when I registered my app using my personal Instagram account), but I still get an error back saying :
{
meta: {
error_type: "OAuthAccessTokenException",
code: 400,
error_message: "The access_token provided is invalid."
}
}
The endpoint I am trying to hit is :
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/search?q=[USERNAME]&client_id=[CLIENT ID]
So do I absolutely need an access token for this to work(and thus have to enforce a user to log in) ?
If I do, then is there way to generate an access token somehow without forcing the user log in?
I believe there is a way around this, as the popular dating app Tinder has this desired functionality I am looking for, as it allows you to see photos from people's Instagram account without having to log in! (I have just verified this 5 minutes ago!)
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit April 2018: After facebook privacy case this endpoint is immediately put out of service. It seems we need to parse the JSON embedded in <script> tag directly within the profile page:
<script type="text/javascript">window._sharedData = {"activity_counts":...
Any better ideas are welcome.
You can use the most recent link
GET https://www.instagram.com/{username}/?__a=1
to get latest 20 posts in JSON format. Hope you put this to good use.
edit: other ways aren't valid anymore:
https://www.instagram.com/{username}/media/
Instagram used to allow most API requests with just client_id and without access_token, the apps registered back in the day still work with way, thats how some apps are able to show instagram photos without user login.
Instagram has changes the API specification, so new apps will have to get access_token, older apps will have to change before June 2016.
One way you can work around this is by using access_token generated by your account to access photos. Login locally and get access_token, use this for all API calls, it should not change, unless u change password,if it expires, regenerate and update in your server.
Since the endpoints don't exist anymore I switched to a PHP library -
https://github.com/pgrimaud/instagram-user-feed
Installed this lib with composer:
composer require pgrimaud/instagram-user-feed "^4.0"
To get a feed object -
$cache = new Instagram\Storage\CacheManager();
$api = new Instagram\Api($cache);
$api->setUserName('myvetbox');
$feed = $api->getFeed();
Example of how to use that object -
foreach ($feed->medias as $key => $value) {
echo '<li><img src="'.$value->thumbnailSrc.'"></li>';
}
I'm tearing my hair out here.
We've got a web app that is hosted on a bunch of different domains and we have a facebook login on the page. This works just peachy. Most of them run of our root domain eg newsite.ourplatform.com and we reuse the same facebook app and add a new domain in.
We've had a request to set up a new site on a different url. In the past, this hasn't really been a problem. We set up a new facebook app, add the appid to out config and voila, facebook login working. (we don't do this so often, so I've potentially broken it)
This time around. I've set up a new app id and plugged it in, but whenever I call the facebook login, it authenticates me, but I get a useless response from facebook.
eg. On a working site I call
FB.api("/me/", function(response){console.log(JSON.stringify(response));});
and get response
"{id":"12345678910","email":"my#email.com","first_name":"My Name","gender":"male","last_name":"Myname","link":"https://www.facebook.com/app_scoped_user_id/12345678910/","locale":"en_GB","name":"My Name","timezone":10,"updated_time":"2014-01-19T10:44:20+0000","verified":true}
but on the broken site I do the same call and get a response
{"name":"MyName","id":"12345678910"}
Which is sort of good, but I need their email. As far as I can tell, I'm not asking for any permissions beyond email,public_profile and user_friends
Because of the way the app setup works, we have different apps running 2.1, 2.2 and 2.4 and this new one on 2.4 doesn't work. I'm not sure if that's a red herring or if I've got a misconfigured facebook app.
(edit - removed the sites affected to protect the innocent)
As #CBroe said you really need to checkout the v2.4 changelog for the API. In version 2.4 of the API Facebook introduced 'declarative fields'. This means that when you make a base request, like to /me you will only get a small amount of info back, e.g. 'name' and 'id'.
You have two options to get more fields:
Option One
FB.api('/me?fields=first_name,last_name,gender', function(response) {
console.log(response)
});
Option Two
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
console.log(response)
}, {'fields': 'first_name, last_name, gender'})
This will return a response that looks like the following:
{"first_name":"First", "last_name":"Last", "gender":"gender", "id":"ID"}
The key in the request above is specifying the fields URL parameter in your request and is documented in the link #CBroe linked and I have linked above.
Before I ask my question here are a few details of my setup and the problem I am facing.
This is my first post on StackOverflow :).
Platform :
Unity3d engine + Prime31 plugin for Facebook
Context :
I am trying to integrate Facebook into our Mobile iOS app, developed using Unity3d (still in development), and I am trying to post to the user's friend's wall using a plugin called Prime31.
Problem :
I keep getting a 403 forbidden error when I post to the friends wall
Code :
I am using the following piece of code
var token = FacebookBinding.getAccessToken();
Debug.Log( "access token: " + token );
var param = new Dictionary<string,object>
{
{"message", "Test message for dragons "},
{"access_token" , token},
{"name", "School of Dragons"},
{"caption", "Join the world of Dragons"},
};
Facebook.instance.post(id+"/feed",param, OnPostComplete);
Where id is retrieved from another piece of code.
Additional Info :
With the same setup, publishing on my own wall works. (me/feed instead of id/feed)
The friend I am trying to post to and myself both are listed as developers in the account for the app.
I have the the info.plist additions according to the steps provided by Prime31.
I have done extensive googling on this problem and most of the replies indicate a high number of posts being made from the server / app as a possible reason.
Questions :
Is filling in the Native IOS App setting in the developer console a must for publishing ?
Is the number of posts made by a developer application in Facebook restricted ? Because I can post to the same friends wall with the same content outside of the app. This seems to be the least likely scenario.
Why could this problem be happening ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as we have a deadline approaching in three days and this feature should be done and ready in a couple of days.
Thanks

When I use me/photo to share a picture I have meet 403 error.My case is because of my Facebook app not approve the publish_actions permission,and I use a normal user for test,just test user can use not approved permissions.You can use app manage page's menu "Status & Review" -> "Submission" to request permission.
Well, I'm using unity3D I had the same FBResult::Error (res.Error.Text) text (403 forbidden)
You need to see what the res.ToString() says.
For example mine is
""message":"(#200) Requires extended permission: publish_actions","type":"OAuthException","code":200,"fbtrace_id":"C3X4jSCm7or"
I am trying to use Explicit Sharing with built in watch action. Here is my code
$post_action = $facebook->api(
'me/video.watches',
'POST',
array(
'video' => "$post-link",
'fb:explicitly_shared'=>true
)
);
When I set fb:explicitly_shared to false the activity is shown on both recent activity and activity log. But when i set it to true the activity is only shown on activity log, not to the recent activity, not to the users timeline.
I have read all the documentation on Facebook about Explicit Sharing but i cant find out why is this happening.
All the results I mentioned are made with Test Users of this app.
Maybe I have first to submit it on Facebook for approval before I will be able to test it?
After some days of work i found out that Application testers have a bug with explicit share. I tried to post with my developers account and works good!
I have an application that integrates with Facebook using Oauth 2.
I can authorize with FB and query their REST and Graph APIs perfectly well, but when I authorize an active browser session is created with FB. I can then log-out of my application just fine, but the session with FB persists, so if anyone else uses the browser they will see the previous users FB account (unless the previous user manually logs out of FB also).
The steps I take to authorize are:
Call [LINK: graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id...]
This step opens a Facebook login/connect window if the user's browser doesn't already have an active FB session. Once they log-in to facebook they redirect to my site with a code I can exchange for an oauth token.
Call [LINK: graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id..] with the code from (1)
Now I have an Oauth Token, and the user's browser is logged into my site, and into FB.
I call a bunch of APIs to do stuff: i.e. [LINK: graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=..]
Lets say my user wants to log out of my site. The FB terms and conditions demand that I perform Single Sign Off, so when the user logs out of my site, they also are logged out of Facebook. There are arguments that this is a bit daft, but I'm happy to comply if there is any way of actually achieving that.
I have seen suggestions that:
A. I use the Javascript API to logout: FB.Connect.logout(). Well I tried using that, but it didn't work, and I'm not sure exactly how it could, as I don't use the Javascript API in any way on my site. The session isn't maintained or created by the Javascript API so I'm not sure how it's supposed to expire it either.
B. Use [LINK: facebook.com/logout.php]. This was suggested by an admin in the Facebook forums some time ago. The example given related to the old way of getting FB sessions (non-oauth) so I don't think I can apply it in my case.
C. Use the old REST api expireSession or revokeAuthorization. I tried both of these and while they do expire the Oauth token they don't invalidate the session that the browser is currently using so it has no effect, the user is not logged out of Facebook.
I'm really at a bit of a loose end, the Facebook documentation is patchy, ambiguous and pretty poor. The support on the forums is non-existant, at the moment I can't even log in to the facebook forum, and aside from that, their own FB Connect integration doesn't even work on the forum itself. Doesn't inspire much confidence.
Ta for any help you can offer.

ps. Had to change HTTPS to LINK, not enough karma to post links which is probably fair enough.
I was having the same problem. I also login using oauth (I am using RubyOnRails), but for logout, I do it with JavaScript using a link like this:
Logout
This first calls the onclick function and performs a logout on facebook, and then the normal /logout function of my site is called.
Though I would prefer a serverside solution as well, but at least it does what I want, it logs me out on both sites.
I am also quite new to the Facebook integration stuff and played around the first time with it, but my general feeling is that the documentation is pretty spread all over the place with lots of outdated stuff.
This works as of now - and is documented on facebook's site # http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/. Not sure how recently it was added to the documentation, pretty sure it wasn't there when I checked Feb-2012
You can programmatically log the user our of Facebook by redirecting
the user to
https://www.facebook.com/logout.php?next=YOUR_REDIRECT_URL&access_token=USER_ACCESS_TOKEN
This solution no longer works with FaceBook's current API (seems it was unintended to begin with)
http://m.facebook.com/logout.php?confirm=1&next=http://yoursitename.com;
Try to give this link on you signout link or button where "yoursitename.com"
is where u want to redirect back after signout may be ur home page.
It works..
I can programmatically log user out Facebook by redirecting user to
https://www.facebook.com/logout.php?next=YOUR_REDIRECT_URL&access_token=USER_ACCESS_TOKEN
The URL supplied in the next parameter must be a URL with the same base domain as your application as defined in your app's settings.
More details: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication
You can do this with the access_token:
$access_array = split("\|", $access_token);
$session_key = $access_array[1];
You can use that $session key in the PHP SDK to generate a functional logout URL.
$logoutUrl = $facebook->getLogoutUrl(array('next' => $logoutUrl, 'session_key' => $session_key));
This ends the browser's facebook session.
With PHP I'm doing:
logout.
if(isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] === 'logout'){
$facebook->destroySession();
header(WHERE YOU WANT TO REDIRECT TO);
exit();
}
Works and is nice and easy am just trying to find a logout button graphic now!
Here's an alternative to the accepted answer that works in the current (2.12) version of the API.
Logout
<script>
FB.init({
appId: '{your-app-id}',
cookie: true,
xfbml: true,
version: 'v2.12'
});
function logoutFromFacebookAndRedirect(redirectUrl) {
FB.getLoginStatus(function (response) {
if (response.status == 'connected')
FB.logout(function (response) {
window.location.href = redirectUrl;
});
else
window.location.href = redirectUrl;
});
}
</script>
the mobile solution suggested by Sumit works perfectly for AS3 Air:
html.location = "http://m.facebook.com/logout.php?confirm=1&next=http://yoursitename.com"
For Python developers that want to log user out straight from the backend
At the moment I'm writing this, the trick with m.facebook.com no longer works (at least for me) and user is redirected to the mobile FB login page which obviously is not good for UX.
Fortunately, FB PHP SDK has a semi-documented solution (in case the link doesn't lead to getLogoutUrl() function, just search look for it on that page). This is also mentioned in at least one other on StackOverflow: Facebook php SDK getLogoutUrl() problem.
BTW I've just noticed that Zach Greenberg got it right in this question, but I'm adding my answer as a summary for Python developers.
A note for Christoph's answer:
Facebook Oauth Logout
The logout function requires a callback function to be specified and will fail without
it, at least on Firefox. Chrome works without the callback.
FB.logout(function(response) {});
#Christoph: just adding someting . i dont think so this is a correct way.to logout at both places at the same time.(Logout).
Just add id to the anchor tag . <a id='fbLogOut' href="/logout" onclick="FB.logout();">Logout</a>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#fbLogOut').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
FB.logout(function(response) {
// user is now logged out
var url = $(this).attr('href');
window.location= url;
});
});});
Update: This solution works and just a call to 'FB.logout()' doesn't work because browser wants a user interaction to actually call this function, so that it knows - it is a user not a script.
Logout
it's simple just type : $facebook->setSession(null); for logout
