Is there a way to debug Facebook Instant Articles? - facebook

As the title says, is there any way to debug (view elements, CSS, console, etc) a Facebook Instant Article? I need to verify if a CSS affects on of my elements.
I am just looking for a tool to debug or troubleshoot FB Instant Articles.

You may install Pages Manager app for Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.pages.app&hl=en
After install and Login to the App you need to find a section Instant Articles, where you can see articles from your page under development and productions.
Hopefully it will be helpful for your testing before to publish and live them.

How do facebook ads spy tools scrape the data?

How do these websites like BigSpy get the latest ads from Facebook?
Do you need to scrape all the pages on FB to a database and then use Puppeteer or Selenium to click through the Facebook page UI and look at the ads?
Or is it somehow done through Facebook Ad library?
Could someone share the process by which one could code it up themselves?
Thanks.
Example website:
https://bigspy.com/adspy/facebook/
You can do with scraping tools puppeteer with searching special items on facebook or instagram.
Adspy tools collect ads from Facebook in two different ways:
They get their data from Facebook’s “Ad Library” archive, which does not give detailed information and is outdated. Some adspy tools use this feature to collect ads like Spytex. They do this by utilizing add-ons and similar techniques.
Another method is a bit advanced: Getting data directly from Facebook Graph API itself. There are some adspy tools, like AdFlex, that collect ads in a direct matter, without any intermediary. AdFlex uses its own developed crawlers to scrape ads from FB.

Facebook аpp approval for social plugin

I want to get approval for my app id only for the like and share buttons of facebook but it seems that it got more complicated then before.
When I go to my app then javascript sdk to create the code of javascript for my site it shows
This app is in Development Mode and not available publicly.
Modo público can be enabled in the App Dashboard.
So then I go to the app dashboard and it is asking a lot of information I don't have because it's only to have the like button in my site I don't want to read more likes of users.
So anyone can help me to find the right way to do this.
The only thing you should have to fill in to make the app public is the Contact Email on the main Settings page:
(source: infused.org)
Found this thread whilst having the same problem. In addition to infused's post, you have to go to "status and review" and turn "Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?" to Yes.
Furthermore, I noticed that removing the app id (as per the code you get if you are not logged in and go to the plugin generator page), then the code does not work at all.
Also, if the app is not set as live, then it will still sometimes work - just to make things harder to debug.

Install app to user profile

I have an application in facebook. And I want to add the ability for installing this app on the user's personal timeline.
What is to be done in the application?
I tried to found any answer in the documentation (for example http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs/ ). I found a way to install an app to the fan page only.
But I need the ability to install app to the user's personal profile.
"Tabs" (in the way you can build them for pages) are not supported on user-profiles since more than 2 years!
The only way to have an application-tile on a users profile (like shown on the screenshot below) is by publishing Open Graph-actions through the app.
However, these are not "Tabs" in the sense that you have an iframe which you can build to your needs. They simply display the Open Grap-aggregations defined in the app-dashboard:
Also, these Timeline-aggregations seem to be quite buggy since quite a while, so I wouldn't recommend relying to much on them:

Facebook Application - Like Button

I'd like to develop a Flash/Flex based application that I'll integrate withing my Page on Facebook.
I've seen on many applications that in order for a user too see more stuff on the application, user first of all has to click LIKE button on my page.
I've searched but couldn't find right thing I've been looking for, probably I don't know how to search for it correctly.
Maybe you could help me out to find right source for that.
I don't think Liking the app really matter.
What you might be looking for is authorization from the facebook users. For instance if your app need to post status update on the user's wall, you'll need to get authorisation from him/her first.
You should probably read this (rather generic) intro on facebook's developer website:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/
This might be a helpful read too:
http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/116/
Finally, haven't done it in AS3 but apparently Adobe has an as3 version of the facebook sdk available:
http://www.adobe.com/newsletters/inspire/november2010/articles/article6/index.html
http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/
what you are reffering to is liking a page beofore being able to interact with an application that has been embedded into a page. A page tab app.
You need to parse the signed_request that facebook passes to your application and once you have parsed it you will be able to see if the user has liked your page or not.
Here is a link to some more information about singed_requests

How to develop app for Facebook Pages?

I want to develop a customized shopping cart. I have tried to install 2 shopping carts on my page.
VendorShop
Payvment E-Commerce
But these aren't serving my purpose. So i am thinking to develop my own. Could you give me a head start?
My most important question is, is App development for Facebook Pages is different or its the same?
A quick start guide?
basically app dev for fb pages is pretty much the same as std fb app.
so, to get started, you can just refer to those community generated tutorials / start guide, or refer to fb docs.
I am sorry that I cannot provide the direct link here (as it seems to me that SO does not like it... I tried to do that before but my answer just get banned and down-graded from moderator). If you want to get community generated tutorials, refer to my profile and you can get the link.
