Permission issue when publish comment with Facebook Graph API v2.12 - facebook

I am testing the facebook graph API comments
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.12/object/comments
I checked my permission for the access token it contains the permission, which required by API. see the screenshot
I test my object-id (1797963943566411_1975256375837166) which is correct see me screenshot
Change the request method to POST and adding post data {"message": "haha"}
I get the error message shows:
"(#3) Publishing comments through the API is only available for page access tokens" see my screenshot
As you can see the first step checking, I have all the permission that the
API required.
Can any one see any sort of error in this process?

Try another way still not work.
I have a user who post a photo on his own facebook page.
I logged in with this user and give this user all permissions see the screenshot
enter image description here
call /me/accounts to get page access token
enter image description here
copy the page access token into the Graph API Explorer's access token field
call
GET: 1797963943566411_1975256375837166/likes
is working fine
But call POST: 1797963943566411_1975256375837166/likes
Get error response:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#200) Permissions error",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200,
"fbtrace_id": "GtEaBfyXrUD"
}
}
The reason is Facebook changed the API behaviour. We are no longer to use api to like any POST on our time line. API can only like or comments on facebook page. Sad face !!!!

How to get the result in Facebook Graph Api Explorer.? Getting error message (#15) This method must be called with an app access_token

I was Unable to get the search result in Facebook Graph Api Explorer For Topic search API. I am getting the following error. I also have the access token included.
{
"error": {
"message": "(#15) This method must be called with an app access_token.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 15,
"fbtrace_id": "CJiZqVSATXu"
}
}
Well, the error message actually contains the problem. You're not using an App Access Token, but seemingly an User Access Token (from the Access Token structure in your screenshot).
You must select an app of yours in the upper right Applications dropdown, and then select Get App Token in the dropdown below.
Still, that will probably not help much in this case. Are you aware that only whitelisted apps can use the Topic Search API?

Facebook Graph API | Page feed

I am having a problem with the facebook graph API, when I try to read a Page feed using graph../{pageId}/feed it works only for some pages. On other pages I get the following error:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#200) Requires extended permission: ads_management or manage_pages",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200
}
}
The Page is restricted by location, as we found out in the comments. If it works for one user, most likely the other one is not allowed to view the page - which means that you can´t grab the feed with his User Token. The Page could also be unpublished, but i guess that´s not the case.
If you are unsure, try lifting the restriction and test it.
If that does not work, you should file a bug.

Post photo to facebook page with graph API

I will upload a photo to my page as a page admin. If I use graph explorer it post photo with my account. For example I'm masterweblab on facebook and a page called PAGEMWL. I want upload photo on PAGEMWL's timeline as PAGEMWL. Can you help me?
Update:
When i try to use my app token and get access token to post field facebook return me an error like this:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#200) User must have accepted TOS",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200
}
}
You need to make sure you are uploading the photo with a page token rather than a user token.
Please refer to the documentation for more information.

Facebook access token extending - "The access token does not belong to application xxx"

I went to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET, set up there ID of my Facebook page, set up there the correct permission for posting statuses on my FB timeline and generated access token.
Then I wanted to extend this short-live token on the long-term (60 days long valid token). So I did following - I put this URL to the browser:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=APP_ID_OF_MY_FB_APP&client_secret=SECRET_ID_OF_MY_APP&grant_type=fb_exchange_token&fb_exchange_token=GENERATED_ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_THE_FIRST_STEP
and in the browser I saw this error message:
{
"error": {
"message": "The access token does not belong to application APP_ID_OF_MY_FB_APP",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 1
}
}
Which is weird, because the APP_ID of my Facebook app is correct, I've tried to post on the wall of the Facebook page and it was working.
But when I try to get extended access token, I am getting the error above.
What's wrong with the access?
Thank you
This almost certainly means what the error says, which is that GENERATED_ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_THE_FIRST_STEP is not actually from the app ID that you're using in the APP_ID_OF_MY_FB_APP parameter
Check the access token you're trying to extend in Facebook's Debug Tooland ensure it was actually generated for your app
Your AppID param is not the same to the AppID in developers.facebook.com

Posting on user's timeline on the behalf of the user

I created and APP on the Facebook.
Now I am trying to post a comment on the user's timeline using the Graph API but I cannot undestand what I need to do.
I already authorized the Application (I authorized this permissions: 'user_status,publish_stream,user_photos,email').
If I look on my profile -> privacy I can see that the APP can:
This app can: Post on your behalf
This app may post on your behalf, including status updates, photos and more.
Last data access:
Basic InformationToday
See details · Learn more
Posts on your behalf:
Who can see posts this app makes for you on your Facebook timeline?
Public
Notifications:
When to notify you?
The app sends you a notification
So this part seems OK.
On my application I do the following to try to post somenthing on my timeline (I need to post it when I am off line).
1) GET : https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=APPID&client_secret=*APP_SECRET*&grant_type=client_credentials
RESPONSE:
access_token = 422828347771671|UdQELQIf0N7krF4JUo7VwtPLTkk
2) GET: https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=myemail&type=user
RESPONSE:
_"error":_{
______"message":_"A_user_access_token_is_required_to_request_this_resource_",
______"type":_"OAuthException",
______"code":_102
___}
But reading the documentation (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/#searching) it seems that this request does not need any kind of access token.
I also tried to add the access token, but the result is still the same.
3) I know my facebookid so I tried to use it directly:
POST: https://graph.facebook.com/100001139132403/feed
ARGUMENT:
access_token=422828347771671|UdQELQIf0N7krF4JUo7VwtPLTkk,
message=Hello
RESPONSE:
"error": {
"message": "(#200) This API call requires a valid app_id.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200
}
}
So I tried to add client_id=APPID and app_id=APPID, I tried to put one, the other and also both arguments as GET or POST but nothing changed.
I checked the APPId ad it is correct.
Do someone have any idea?
Thank you!
You cant simply generate a user access_token by querying to a URL. What you did gives the App access token and as the error say, you are trying to do something, that needs user access_token.
Refer and implement this : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/login/server-side-login/
And use that access_token for the rest of the processes.
