How do I get all events that a user has been invited to or rsvp'd to?
I've tried doing a request to /me/events and /me/events/not_replied but I just get empty responses back.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks
It was "noreply", not "not_replied", and it is not available anymore: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog/breaking-changes#events-4-4
In order not to break any existing Apps (not dealing with errors), you don´t get an error, but just an empty response.

I have been hammering away at this problem for the last day. I really hope someone can help me out. I would be very grateful.
What I am trying to do is fetch event data from a Facebook Page. I looked over the documentation, which says this about reading Pages data:
Reading
A Facebook page
Permissions
For pages that are published, you need:
An app or user access token to view fields from fully public pages.
So what I did was I obtained an app access token via:
GET https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?
client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
&grant_type=client_credentials
which then returned
access_token=MY_APP_ID|MY_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN
After this I followed the documentation and made the following call
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/129511477069092/events?fields=id,cover,name,venue,description&access_token=MY_APP_ID|MY_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN
This returned:
{
"data": [
]
}
So after some fiddling around I was able to make the call by switching to version V2.2 and by creating an access key with Facebook API Graph explorer tool(no permissions granted).
GET https://graph.facebook.com/v2.2/129511477069092/events?
fields=id,cover,name,venue,description&
access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_FACEBOOK_API_EXPLORER_TOOL
The page I am trying to retrieve data from is public and so are the events, so I can't figure out what is going on. I know I am super close since I am able to retrieve the data with the token provided by the Facebook API Graph Explorer Tool. The thing with using this token is that it only last a few hours and I need something that is going to last longer such as an app access token. I have done some research on Stackoverflow and found similar questions, but none of them solve my problem. Any help will be appreciated to the max! Thanks.
Looks like a bug of v2.4 to me. It works with v2.3 if you remove the deprecated venue field:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/145634995501895/?method=GET&path=129511477069092%2Fevents%3Ffields%3Did%2Ccover%2Cname%2Cdescription&version=v2.3
If the version is changed to v2.4, it returns an empty result.
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/145634995501895/?method=GET&path=129511477069092%2Fevents%3Ffields%3Did%2Ccover%2Cname%2Cdescription&version=v2.4
There's no documentation about this in the changelog at
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_4
so I guess it's a bug. There's already a bug report at
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/443054055873667/
with status assigned. If you have an app that supports v2.3, I'd suggest you prefix your request like this:
GET /v2.3/129511477069092/events?fields=id,cover,name,description
Earlier, this would give back a list of events:
clubversuz/events
Now it gives back an empty array called 'data'.
Ok..they say that now you should explicitly declare the fields in a request, so I tried that too with this, but it return nothing either. The clubversuz id is used below:
8261409764/events?fields=end_time,start_time,timezone,id,name
Does anyone know how to go further?
P.S. I just started with this API and yesterday I was glad: I could get events.
Now, one day later, it has been broken by changes from fb. Is this how it's going to be with the fb API, Create something, break, repair? :)
It seems that the behaviour is still working if you explicitly provide the API version to be v2.3:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/8261409764/events?access_token=
When you use v2.4 in the above call, it's not returning any events. This might actually be a bug; can you create a bug report?
Have try to get public events data from a page, through facebook graph api explorer like
/{page-id}/events with a token that I produce from the graph. When I debug the access token I can see that I have the following permissions
public_profile, user_likes, user_activities, user_events, user_about_me
I have test it in some other pages and works fine like graph.facebook.com/cocacola/Events as a example, I get the Array of Events.
The problem come that in the page that I trying to retrieve the events I get an empty Data array and I don't know why. The thing is that if I try to get the events from groups it works but when I try to retrive the events of this page (others too) it just not work. The graph request is
348101891945454/events
Also it does not work when I try to retrieve my events.. me/events/
Some help on this please. Is something with the configuration/settings of page?
Thanks a lot.
This is because there are no current events for that page. You need to apply the since and until parameters to get a response.
e.g. 348101891945454/events?since=1325462400
as the title says, I can no longer use friends locations with the graph api explorer any more(in https://developers.facebook.com). Even if I click all access token checkboxes,(trying to get me/friends?fields=locations.fields(place)) I still get error(
{
"error": "Request failed"
}). But me/locations?fields=place works, so it must be someting with "friends" that makes it to crash.
I was able use it 2 weeks ago, and I have not done any changes, it just suddenly stoped working. if I login with my test Account I can get all the parameters I request, but not on my primary account. Is there any one that has any idea what the problem can be? or why it occurred? I have done everything that I can think of, from using diffrent web browers, deleting all history, use diffrent computer. I have compared the settings for both my test account and my main account, both have the same settings.
I am sincerely sorry if i have misspelled anything.
It happens for me as well for any of the locations methods, but the location method with out the s works. I don't know if that data is usable for you.
me/friends?fields=location,hometown
I have figured out the reason to this problem. I has to do with requests from facebook's api, if i lower the Limit per request it works. Then to save the information I use offset.
I am bit confused in using checkin api. Every time when I call "me/checkins" the response i get is empty. I have no idea how actually checkin works.
Thanks.
I believe to view checkin's of a user, your application will have to request for "user_checkins" access from the user. This is probably why it is coming back empty.
Just add "user_checkins" as another permission you will need granted.
