When i test my app on the Graph Explorer the instagram_business_account id doesn't appear in my list...
We manage several facebook pages, and some others work fine with same parameters.
I have all the permissions needed, manage_pages business_management and instagram_basic.
I already tried to to go back to personal instagram account and then business again but it doesn't change anything...
Any new solution for this known issue?

Try to add pages_read_engagement permission to your auth request. You don't need manage_pages just to get Instagram ID, its overkill.

I have an app that programmatically make post on a configured Facebook Page.
My app obviously have both the manage_pages and publish_pages permissions approved and I'm using pages access token
Everything work well since now, but recently when I POST on page feed
https://graph.facebook.com/v3.1/234002440799692/feed
I get this error:
{"error": {
"message":"(#200) Requires either publish_to_groups permission and app being installed in the group, or manage_pages and publish_pages as an admin with sufficient administrative permission",
"type":"OAuthException",
"code":200,
"fbtrace_id":"HEVcI\/Tq3fW"
}}
I know that Facebook has deprecated publish_actions scope, so that it's not possible anymore to post programmatically on the personal feed, but I can't find out why the post on a page return this kind of error.
Some further infos:
posting with a developer account actually work
the user by which the page access token is obtained, created the page on Facebook (so I think it's an admin for the page)
i recently migrated from graph_api v2.12 to v.3.1
Any suggestion will be appreciated
Thanks
I figured it out what the problem with some pages is.
It seem that now, if the user grant the manage_pages and publish_pages permission, that will be valid only for already existing pages!
New pages haven't the permission granted by default.
The only way I can fix the problem was to remove my app from the user profile (Facebook Settings > Business Integrations > Select the app > Remove) and then prompt the user again with the Facebook OAuth permission dialog.
I don't know if there is a way to force the app removal programmatically, but I can't find out.
You can use the following URL:
https://graph.facebook.com/v7.0/234002440799692/feed?&access_token={access_token}
I'm using v2.5 of the Facebook Graph API.
What's the difference between manage_pages and pages_show_list permissions?
From the docs it seems that you need manage_pages to get a page access token. But I tried and I was able to get it with just the pages_show_list permission.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
The docs are vague und not complete on this subject. Facebook says they grant pages_show_list to all apps (I can't confirm this, see this question), while manage_pages requires review by Facebook.
One import difference is the way the app is presented to the user. If you request manage_pages, the user will be told that your app wants to manage his/her pages before the user approves.
Besides that, the only difference I found in the docs is the fact that manage_pages combined with publish_pagesallows apps to, well, publish pages.
pages_show_list simply allows you to receive a list of the pages that the requesting user is an admin of.
I have authorized my app for several Facebook permissions using my own user account. If I look at the UI, I can see those permissions granted.
If I pull the permissions from the API, it shows many of these same permissions as declined for my user.
That's an API call through the Graph API Explorer using my app's token. I get the same results using cURL.
Some of these permissions require approval from FB, but they have all been approved.
It feels like I'm missing something here. Why does the API return different results than what is shown in the UI? I'm hoping to use the API to see which permissions a user has granted for my app and to ask for a new one if they haven't already granted it. If I can't get accurate results from the API, this won't work.
This happened because I had the wrong Facebook user ID. I used a web site to find my ID which gave me the wrong ID. I found my ID in my app's database, and this returned the correct results from the API.
I have an app & user_status permission is obtained from facebook after its submitted for review. I can get the v2.2/me?fields=statuses data for the App's admin. No other fb accounts are able to get this data. When I login with facebook from my portal, the permissions requested are not shown to the users.
Is the issue related to FB API. I can use the obtained permissions only for the App's admin alone?
Is this issue related to not obtaining consent from the account while logging in from my portal. If yes, what is the method to get this done.
Anyone kindly help me regarding this.
It's all in the docs:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/login#do-you-need-review
...your app's developers will be able to see, and grant, any permission without requiring review by Facebook.
and
People who are listed in your app's Roles tab will have access to extended permissions without going through review (e.g. publish_actions or manage_pages). For example, if you use the Facebook Plugin for Wordpress to publish your blog posts to your Facebook Page or Profile, you do not need to submit for review so long as all your publishers are listed in your app's Roles tab.
Which permission would allow me to access the users Contact info on Facebook so that I can get the users Twitter account?
I'm pretty sure this information isn't available through the graph. To check, I used the Graph Explorer, granted every permission possible, and checked the resulting object for /me and that was not there.
