I have an element on my website which shows facebook posts from a page and the amount of views/likes/comments. This stopped working all of a sudden and I have no idea why.
If I make the request with the graph api tester tool I get:
{
"error": {
"message": "An unknown error has occurred.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 1,
"fbtrace_id": "CIHVxFhXIv/"
}
}
This is the request link I use with file_get_contents:
https://graph.facebook.com/v3.0/idofmypage/posts?fields=comments,full_picture,likes,message,picture,story,permalink_url,updated_time,from,insights.metric(post_impressions)&access_token=myaccesstoken
Did something change again with permissions or maybe a field is deprecated?
According to this fb new the Pages API and others have changed, and now you can only access the data if it's a page of your own.
Pages API: Until today, any app could use the Pages API to read posts or comments from any Page. This let developers create tools for Page owners to help them do things like schedule posts and reply to comments or messages. But it also let apps access more data than necessary. We want to make sure Page information is only available to apps providing useful services to our community. So starting today, all future access to the Pages API will need to be approved by Facebook.
Today I've started a project wich, in the begging, I need to recollect data and that's what I've found about it..

I'm using the Graph API Explorer to reply the comments on fan page via my app.
It works only the page is published. However, it bothers me so much.
How do I to test the app before publishing the page?
What I'm trying to do is the app will listen to the webhook from Facebook and then reply to the comment as long as got a comment.
I've been search for a while, there's very few questions related to this. Any suggestion would be thankful. ;)
// POST
https://graph.facebook.com/{comment-id}/comments
// response when the page is unpublished
{
"error": {
"message": "(#200) Cannot access object_id: {comment-id}",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200,
"fbtrace_id": "{fbtrace_id}"
}
}
Confirmed that you can't access the comments while unpublished as the page id prepends the comment id. I would say quickest and easiest way to test is to just create a separate test page and keep that published.
searched around on a way to unlike facebook fan page but no success
the only way i figure out is :
https://graph.facebook.com/me/likes?method=delete&url=http://www.facebook.com/FNAPAGE&access_token=
error :
{
"error": {
"message": "(#200) App does not have permission to make this call",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200
}
}
so is there a way to unlike facebook fan page ? whatever if its through php or java api .
In the User object documentation, under the Likes connection there's nothing about changing/deleting or even adding likes, it just has a way of reading the user likes.
So as it looks, currently you have no way of automating this, and you'll have to manually go to each page you want to remove the like.
Facebook API v2, released April 30th, 2014, includes an end point for deleting a like.

I am having some unusual errors while fetching some data for some users via graph API.
As for example w all know we can get basic user info via graph.facebook.com/username
And it works. But it is not working for some users. Like the user www.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum is a valid facebook user. So, we should get her basic info via graph.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum. But when you will try that, you will get the error
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request.",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100
}
}
And it is not a permission issue because use user herself gets the same error when she try to retrive her own data via graph API. Actually the user sanzida.tanzum is invisible to graph API. For example user sanzida.tanzum is on my friend list. You can check here. my friendlist.(it is public). But when I retrive my friendlist via graph API, my friendlist is shown excluding the user sanzida.tanzum ! But she is in my friendlist!
I have tried to contact facebook for this matter because I did not find any doccument related to this matter. They replied it is usual. (probably they did not read my mail at all. I am including the email conversation with facebook)
Hi তৌফিক,
They are getting errors because they are not you... they dont have
permissions to see the same things you do. They might also be missing
an access token. Either way: no bug here.
Thanks,

Authentication Vulnerability Scope: Platform Developer API Title:
Unusual bug in facebook graph API Product / URL:
https://graph.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum Description and Impact: I
was doing some graph API calls for testing purpose. Mostly I was doing
mostly user profile calls. (https://graph.facebook.com/exampleuser)
Somehow I realized facebook is giving following errors for some users
even they are on my friendlist. Same thing occurs when they try by
themselves.
As for eample the user "https://www.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum" is on
my friendlist. (My friendlist is public.You can check if you want.)
So, according to facebook graph API, I can request the user's basic
info using (https://graph.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum) But it returns
this error:
"{ "error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request.",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100 } }"
Actually graph API can't access nothing of this user. Another
example.. When I request my friendlist via graph API , All friends of
my friendlist is shown except the user (sanzida.tanzum). But she is in
my friendlist! check here (my friendlist is public)
"https://www.facebook.com/toufiqueimam/friends". So why is this
happening only for few users?
Just now I got confirmation that the user herself gets the same error
if she tries to access (https://graph.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum)
{ "error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request.",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100 } }
Reproduction Instructions / Proof of Concept: Reproduction: first go
to https://www.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum You will see it is a valid
profile. Now try https://graph.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum You will
get following error
{ "error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request.",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100 } }
This isn't a bug, the error means that the data you're trying to access is not accessible to you, does not exist, has been deleted, is not available because you haven't provided an access token from a user who can see it, etc.
See this answer for an example of this error message in relation to Facebook pages: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6847088/21062 - the same is true when trying to access user profiles if that user has blocked you, blocked your app, disabled their account or disabled all apps from accessing their information.
Just an FYI, I ran into this problem, and it wasn't because the user had blocked all applications. In my scenario, my application was attempting to force-convert Facebook's 64 bit integers into a 53 bit JavaScript integer (Node application). It was mangling the value, so when I was making the Facebook GET Request later on in my application lifecycle, I was doing so with the mangled value, and Facebook was trying to tell me "Um, this UserId doesn't exist".
So in my application, I had to use the Node Big-integer add-on, along with the Mongoose mongoose-long plugin for my Mongodb.
Long story short, if you are converting the UserId to it's native 64 bit integer, don't do so unless the intger type in your application is at least 64 bits.
I am trying to fetch a Facebook page's events. I have before, but it doesnt work any more. I used this scriptto fetch the events.
$string = file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/?$pageids&fields=events.limit($fblimit)&access_token=$token&method=GET");
$json_a=json_decode($string,true);
$pageids was a lot of different facebook ids (id1,id2,id2 ...)
I get this error message:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#100) Unknown fields: events.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 100
}
}
Does anyone know what is wrong with my script? Is there a another way to fetch Facebook events?
The actual URL to get a page's events is something like this :
https://graph.facebook.com/PAGE_ID/events
I'm not sure how old the code is that you are fixing, but this is the correct method as stated in the documentation. events is a connection of the page object.
Reference: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/#connections
Facebook has had restricted access of Events in API recently.
You have to do app review to have access to Pages API, Events API.
Please check section "Apps that Require App Review, Business Verification, and Supplemental Terms" of this url: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review
Yesterday I started a new app on Facebook. Today I got the message that when people copy the link to Twitter they get an error. This is what you get:
{
"error": {
"message": "Unknown path components: /your_namespace:your_action",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 2500
}
}
What does this mean? What could be the problem?
Are you actually sending the POST action link to Twitter? Why?
I think you misunderstood how Open Graph works. Basically, you should be the one publishing actions when users take an action using your service. You can use a server-side or a client-side language to POST request (when you click a link, your browser actually makes a GET request, not a POST) to https://graph.facebook.com/me/namespace:action?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN&OBJECT_PATH=OBJECT_URL
Note that you need to create an app, use it to authenticate users to get the access token and also set your custom actions / objects. These will need to be approved before you can actually use them.
You should start by taking a look at the sample apps to see how they work: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/samples/
