I'm trying to make a GET request from the Facebook Graph API, graph.facebook.com (using Postman, a Chrome application) to get all events containing the key word as below:
graph.facebook.com/v2.8/search?pretty=0&q=<MY_CITY>&type=event&accessToken=<MY_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN>
I'm having this response from Facebook:
{
"error": {
"message": "An access token is required to request this resource.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 104,
"fbtrace_id": "B5KWVqr7ajK"
}
}
I've rechecked my app_access_Token, and it's fine and works for other requests. How can I fix this problem?
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api/#search:
All Graph API search queries require an access token included in the request. You need a user access token to execute a search.

I am trying to implement the jobs API by facebook on my webpage and while trying to get the recruiting managers on the Graphs API get an error as below :
Request : me/recruiting_managers
Response :
{
"error": {
"message": "(#3) Application does not have the capability to make this API call.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 3,
"fbtrace_id": "Ae0HxroItowuqypeuULh2J0"
}
}
I submitted the associated form thrice and sent them emails but haven't got any replies. Can anyone help me with this error, please?
It seems you have not authenticated, and therefore do not have an active token, which would then be passed with this request in order to authorize it.
Am testing this method via Facebook graph api explorer
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explore
i chose my user and give him access to pages_messaging read_page_mailboxes manage_pages
then choose certain page and method {conversatio_id}/messages with POST request
and send parameter
message: "test test"
I got this response
{
"error": {
"message": "(#210) This call requires a Page access token.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 210,
"fbtrace_id": "C+Xo8LCuuLW"
}
}

This is issue reported in Facebook API and fixed now!
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/261578841015508/
When I try to use the already generated access token, on this https://graph.facebook.com/4921782178422?fields=id&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN, it gives me this in response:
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request. Object with ID '4921782178422' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100,
"fbtrace_id": "F2ot2MGcBBM"
}
}
Facebook writes that all access tokens have permissions to public_profile, but i can't use the link above.
4921782178422 is a user id.
It works fine, when I use my own user access token, but that's only valid for 1 hour, and I need it longer than that.
I have followed these steps:
facebook: permanent Page Access Token?
What do I do wrong?
On Graph API Explorer I can do this search: search?q=Barcelona&type=event
But when I try the same with my app access token I get this error:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#200) Must have a valid access_token to access this endpoint",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200
}
}
The other searches work well.
UPDATE 2017-11-27:
As Facebook doesn't allow an event search based on location anymore, I'd recommend to use https://github.com/tobilg/facebook-events-by-location-core
Original answer:
Please refer to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/search/#access_tokens
There, it's stated that all searches except for pages and places require an user access token.
I wanted to publish a link on the given profile on Facebook via the app. Post to https://graph.facebook.com/PROFILE_ID/links with access_token and other necessary parameters.
For testing purpose, I got the access_token with Graph API Explorer and had the publish_stream and share_item extended permission.
Then I got the error
{
"error": {
"message": "An access token is required to request this resource.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 104
}
}
I tried fb_id and fb_username for the PROFILE_ID but got the same error. Anything wrong?
Thanks
Yes. /links is read only. To create a link, you need to POST to /USER_ID/feed.
