I am using the Facebook Graph Api for get posts from my public group. It worked, but suddenly next link doesn't work now. I didn't change anything.
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/{groupID}/feed?access_token=myUserToken show me first ten posts in my group, but the link in paging -> next show empty data. There's another ~ 30 posts
{
"data": [
]
}
Parameter Limit work only in interval 1 - 10 for me.
Any idea please? Thanks :-)
It's a bug on facebook side, they are currently resolving it:

https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=sharma&fields=name&type=user&access_token=
I was this URL along with access token and it was giving me user name list that i was using in my project. Only names are my requirement but when today i started to use it i am not getting any data nor any error.
Its only returning this
{
"data": [
]
}
Recently a month ago it was working for me.
Can anyone tell me if they have the same issue or if something has changed?
Is there any other was of getting users name mainly first + last name from fb?
I have found answer of my question which is Fb is no more giving user results for graph search api.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog/breaking-changes#search-4-4
Search API
You can no longer use the /search endpoint with the following object types:
event
group
page
user
I dont know whether its a permanent revoke or temporary but it has something to do with Cambridge analytica data leak issue
https://www.google.co.in/search?biw=1360&bih=662&tbm=nws&ei=-iTXWrrkCYrxvgTTy5GgCw&q=cambridge+analytica+data+leak&oq=cambridge+analytica+data+leak
I hope it will help others to find out why their API is not working anymore.
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
I wanted to get the events for a closed group (which has tons of events) via the facebook graph api, but I only got
{
"data": [
]
}
in the Graph API Explorer even though I was using an auth token with user_events enabled. Just to be sure, I enabled every single permission for the token but got the same result.
what am I doing wrong?
I think I just found the answer to my problem; there was nothing wrong!
What I thought were events coming up were actually events that happened in the past, shown in the group/events page; I guess those aren`t aren't accessible.
I think I'll settle with using FQL as offered as a solution in this question.
Forgive me I'm new to the Facebook graph concept. I've read through the documentation and am a little lost on something that I want to try and do. I have been able to query posts based on a keyword such as "sailing" like so:
http://graph.facebook.com/search?q=sailing&type=post
I see that it returns a result set containing 25 of the most recent posts with the keyword provided. My issue comes when I try to take a post id and query it directly. What I want to do is to be able to take a post id and query it after a 24hr time frame to see if it has received any comments and to see how many likes it has gained since being posted.
I can take the userID_postID and query like:
http://www.facebook.com/userID/posts/postID
I can see the post with the likes but when I try this in the graph:
http://graph.facebook.com/userID/posts/postID
I get the following error message:
{
"error":
{
"message": "Unknown path components: / postID",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 2500
}
}
I've seen where people have commented that if you want to access a post you will need to get an access_token. I'm not sure why you need an access_token to access a post that you originally obtained without one. It doesn't seem to make sense. One thing that I have noticed when trying to do this with different posts is that this seems to be related to accessing posts of an individual rather than a fan page. Whereas a public page such as a fan page seems to return the results.
I also tried querying like:
http://graph.facebook.com/userID_postID/likes
this returns the likes for a public page such as a fan page but doesn't return anything for an individual page. Can anyone help point me in the right direction or maybe give me some explanation on what the proper way to handle this would be? Requesting an access_token from the user is something I do not want to do, this is mainly for a service that we're trying to create that allows us to survey based on a keyword. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
Facebook search API returning empty data set since last couple of days. This worked fine for me till 2-3 days back.
The repro is consistent, even with the sample on Graph API developers page:
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=watermelon&type=post
{
"data": [
]
}
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks!
This looks like working now. Might be a temp issue.
