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:

As i understand, i need to validate my person, wait for my app review etc.
But what if i just need to post only on my page and nowhere else? Someone told me that i just have to be an app and page administrator and i even can leave app in dev mode but it didn't work for me. In all cases i just recieve
If posting to a group, requires app being installed in the group, and either publish_to_groups permission with user token, or both manage_pages and publish_pages permission with page token; If posting to a page, requires both manage_pages and publish_pages as an admin with sufficient administrative permission
Is it any way to skip all these checks and use API for posting? If not, can you tell me some free services i can use to reach this with? Much thanks for answers.
If you are posting to a page (any page) you need a token with manage_pages and publish_page.
You can generate a test token using the explorer: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ - but this token is short lived (1h)
Using the short term token in the explorer, you can get a list of your pages (endpoint: /me/accounts) that you manage and that list will contain a page_token for each page you manage.
With that page_token you can post to the page.
You can put the page_token into the Access token debugger to see it's permissions.
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/accesstoken/
You need approvals if you are putting the app live and allowing non-developers access to it.
I am trying to automate posting to my Facebook Business page. FB is forcing me to get an app review to approve the manage_pages and publish_pages permissions. I am not making an app for any other users, it is just for me.
Is there a way to avoid app review since I am not creating a public app?
When I try to use my user token (I am a page admin) in the API call it gives me the permission not available error. I can publish using the page token in Dev mode, (which makes all the posts hidden).
Sorry, this isn't a specific code question, If there is a better place to post this I will move it.
When I use my user token:
(#200) The permission(s) publish_actions are not available. It has been deprecated. If you want to provide a way for your app users to share content to Facebook, we encourage you to use our Sharing products instead.
When I use my page token:
(#200) The permission(s) manage_pages,publish_pages are not available. It could because either they are deprecated or need to be approved by App Review.
I am attempting to get events from a specific page, through a person who is administrator of the site and the host of the events. This will not work unless i make the administrator a tester on my Facebook App. Anyone who knows which permission i am missing?
I have the following permissions already:
business_management
manage_pages
public_profile
publish_pages
user_friends

Access Token Info
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/page/events:
This is a restricted edge. You cannot request access at this time.
Facebook has restricted this to specific partners; as a normal 3rd-party app developer you can not get page events at this time.
I am building my first facebook app and am facing a issue.
Task : Build a entirely server side application to be used by the admin of a facebook page to post videos/photos on the page. This should not involve having the admin to log in everytime to generate the user acess and page access token.
What I found : Based on the requirement, I found that app tokens can be used for this purpose. This line specifically hints at the usefulness.
App access tokens can also be used to publish content to Facebook on behalf of a person who has granted an open graph publishing permission to your application
I think that using this will be safe since mine is an entirely server side app.
Problem The docs say that:
GET /oauth/access_token?
client_id={app-id}
&client_secret={app-secret}
&grant_type=client_credentials
will give the app token that can be used in place of user access token.
However, I have not been able to do so. Specifically the error encountered is
Error 200 .The user must have accepted the TOS. Since I have already tried publishing content with page access token, I know this is a permission issue.
The following line
a person who has granted an open graph publishing permission to your application.
does not clarify everything. I came across a related question, but the answers seem to be a bit vague.
It would be really great if someone could give me insights about how this can be achieved.
In order to post to a page, you need at least authorize with the manage_pages permission. If you want to post "as user", you need to add publish_actions and use a "User Access Token". If you want to post "as page", you need to add publish_pages and use a "Page Access Token".
Information about how to generate those Tokens:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens
http://www.devils-heaven.com/facebook-access-tokens/
The error message with the TOS has been discussed a lot of times already, please go to those threads (or find a lot more with the search function):
(OAuthException) (#200) User must have accepted TOS on C# - Facebook
How come I get a "must have accepted TOS" error for test users with app installed?
facebook long term token "(#200) User must have accepted TOS"
Occassional (OAuthException - #200) (#200) User must have accepted TOS
You cannot post to a Page via an App Access Token. This is clearly stated in the docs at
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.3/page/feed#publish
A user access token with publish_actions permission can be used to publish new posts on behalf of that person. Posts will appear in the voice of the user.
A page access token with publish_pages permission can be used to publish new posts on behalf of that page. Posts will appear in the voice of the page.
I'd recommend to use a eternal Page Acess Token, so there's no obligation to renew the User Access Token. Have a look at my answer here:
Post to a facebook page without "manage_pages" permission using php
See
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens#pagetokens
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.
