I am working on an old codebase which includes a few fb api calls.
One of them is hitting /posts?ids=userId1,userId2...
When searching through the facebook api reference this endpoint is nowhere seen though.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference
You can try it in the fb api explorer though, for example with:
posts?ids= 89562268312
So my question, is this still a valid endpoint and does documentation exist?
Update:
according to Retrieving public posts from multiple Facebook pages at the same time using the Graph API this was once documented under the point selection, but it seems to be gone.
answering myself here in case someone stumbles over this, its not a direct endpoint, but as stated under
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/advanced#largerequests
Multiple ID Read Requests
You can make a single GET request that retrieves multiple nodes by using the ?ids endpoint with the object IDs of those nodes. For example, to lookup the Facebook Developers page and the current session user in a single request, you could use the following Graph API call:
GET graph.facebook.com
/photos?ids={user-id-a},{user-id-b}

There're lots of events for this venue:
https://www.facebook.com/pg/ClubRoxyPrague/events/
However when requesting with Graph API we only get a few. Here's link to Graph API explorer:

Until recently this worked well for us. Maybe it's data access restrictions Facebook announced few days ago: https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/04/restricting-data-access/
Why the API returns only some events? Is there any way to fetch all public events hosted by a certain page?
Due to the breaking data access changes you mentioned, it already wasn't possible to access events directly (also see: Unsupported get request in get Facebook event).
It seems like your specific issue is a logical consequence of that decision (although the /{page-id}/events was still available up to today, I personally already found it pretty strange that events were still accessible indirectly).
When I try to use the Facebook connector in Azure logic apps I can't seem to get the "Get user timeline" to work.
I know for a fact that the User ID is valid (I checked using this URL: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=). I also know for sure that the user has posts on it's timeline. I also tried multiple user ID's.
When I open the failed request in the Logic app I get this, the response is empty every time.
Is this related to privacy settings? Why doesn't this work?
We should probably retire/remove that operation. It is not possible to retrieve the post from Facebook graph API for another user's timeline. It used to so that is why it is there. Specifically, this post might be helpful: Facebook Graph API {user-id}/feed from others empty
The connector calls the /{user-id}/feed API. You can try out the behavior in the Facebook Graph explorer as well. https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
I have a Facebook Page. I am trying to get the Non Expired 'Offers' that exist from the Pages that my Page Likes.
This is what I use to get all the offers (Including Expired):
GRAPH GET (2.5): /210111832375724/likes?fields=offers
(210111832375724 is my page ID)
I have used 'since(now)', but it failed. It seems to work for events, but not offers.
I could just get all offers and then use my software to select ones that haven't expired, but thought I would see if there is a better solution.
Following the Facebook docs, I don't see another possibility then to filter the "valid" ones from the Graph API call's response. There is currently no general way to filter results in the Graph API.
See
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/page/offers/#Reading

I am looking for a way to record user id's of a public post for a brand. If there are any resources available, any help would be appreciated.
Retrieving share data with FB API doesn't seem to be officialy supported by Facebook, but you can retrieve posts shares with Graph API, just do the following:
Get the ID of your post (eg. /me/posts query)
Split the ID on underscore character and get the second part (first part indentifies posts author)
Query the shares: [id_2nd_part]/sharedposts
Note that since it's not officialy supported it may stop working at some point in the future
You can test it with Graph explorer - to get shared posts you need read_stream permissions on your access token if I'm not mistaken
In their recent changes, Facebook now links your likes and interests with community and fan pages. How can I retrieve this information using the old rest API and Facebooker. I tried things like this to get the music preferences :
facebook_session.user.music
but I get a blank string instead of the relevant connections. Is it mandatory to use the new Graph API in order to make this work?
I believe this data can only be accessed via the Graph API.
