I am trying to play a Soundcloud song on my webpage. I am just trying to test out using the API but I don't seem to be getting anywhere. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Soundcloud will authorize me and will show an object for the song, but will not play it. Not sure how to look up more information, the information for beginners is tough to find or doesn't working. Trying to do this from developers.soundcloud.com
SC.initialize({
client_id: 'entered my id from the registered app here'
});
var track_url = 'https://soundcloud.com/aviciiofficial/hope-theres-someone-1';
SC.oEmbed(track_url, { auto_play: true }).then(function(oEmbed) {
console.log('oEmbed response: ', oEmbed);
});
This is because the API does not allow you to get the track contents. Unfortunately this is not very clear from the documentation. Nor is it very clear when a track is allowed to be accessed through the API and when it's not.
Find the track id:
curl "https://api.soundcloud.com/resolve?url=https://soundcloud.com/aviciiofficial/hope-theres-someone-1&client_id=..."
{"status":"302 - Found","location":"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/255863316?client_id=..."}
wget "https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/255863316?client_id=..."

This one is allowed to be accessed without a 403 error, and I liked the title of it: https://soundcloud.com/paradoxeodstl/error-403-prod-boxinwoxin

I am running queries against Facebook Graph API to fetch OG meta information about URLs. Using a Facebook APP token, I can request most URLs and get their corresponding meta data back. But I have run into two issues that I can't find a solution for. I have one domain that refuses to pull any meta information using an APP token. Instead I get back an error 100 (Unsupported post request). But when I make the same request using a User Access Token, it works correctly. The second issue I found is that when a URL has any kind of OG error, Facebook is still scraping it, but will return a 100 error instead of returning the meta details (with both the app token and the user access token). I've even tried running the query without the scrape parameter, to no avail.
Normal Request That Returns Meta Fields of URL:
POST:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/
{
"id": "http://viralcrunch.com/articles/22325/these-guys-invented-the-anti-smart-phone-and-it-will-blow-your-mind",
"scrape": "true"
}
Request That Returns 100 Unsupported post request Error W/ App Token
POST:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/
{
"id": "http://turnthispage.com/dads-totally-winning-fatherhood/",
"scrape": "true"
}
Request That Returns 100 Invalid Object Error W/ Any Token
POST:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/
{
"id": "http://www.thesportster.com/basketball/top-20-nba-players-who-live-life-to-the-fullest/",
"scrape": "true"
}
The second URL seems to be associated with an app id of an app that has some kind of access restrictions set; so I guess it is the same here as if you tried to access information about a Facebook Page that has access restrictions set - you can not query any details about those using the app access token, you need to use a user access token for a user that is allowed to see the content, or a page access token for that page.
And that you get an error response for the third one seems only natural. After all, this is a tool intended to debug and scrape the Open Graph objects you are in control of, so if the OG meta data is not in order it should return an error.
I am trying to access the live views count of a live video that is live through a Facebook Page. I am using the ID that I am obtaining from the API request {page-id}/videos/uploaded When I am using that video id and making a GET request of {video-id}?fields='live_views its showing error code of 100 with the message as:
(#100) Tried accessing nonexisting field (live_views) on node type (Video)
I have the following permissions:
'manage_pages', 'publish_pages', 'business_management', 'read_insights', 'user_videos'
I am making the GET request using user_access_token.
I am using Graph API Version 2.8.
Please let me know if I am using the wrong ID. IF yes, then how can i get the live_video_id of a live video posted in page?
To get the live views count of a video a fan page, you need:
An app created at facebook developer
A user access token (for testing, e.g. by calling https://developers.facebook.com/tools/accesstoken/)
The fan page id
With this you can call graph API in the following format:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/<fan_page_id>/live_videos?access_token=<access_token>?fields=live_views
Of course, you may add more elements in fields parameter if you need more information. Here Facebook's Graph API explorer helps: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
When you add status to fields parameter, "LIVE" means, it's currently live, "VOD" means it has already finished.
If you try to implement a WebHook for it, let me now if it works. Thanks.
To get live views you need to call the api with the live video id, which you get from calling, page id can initially be either the page-id or name
"https://graph.facebook.com/v10.0/${page_id}/live_videos?access_token=${access_token}
Sample response:
{
"title": "hello world 2",
"status": "LIVE",
"embed_html": "...,
"id": "123123" // this is the live video id
},
After you have retrieved the live video id you can call this endpoint to get the live_views edge
https://graph.facebook.com/v10.0/${live_id}fields=live_views&access_token=${access_token}
sample response:
{
"live_views": 1,
"id": "123123"
}
Docs for endpoint 1: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/live-video/
Docs for endpoint 2: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/live-video/reactions#Reading
However I understand the confusion since live_views is not listed under the second endpoint as a reaction nor even is it a reaction, so either it a mistake in facebook docs or a mistake in the graph API, either the solution provided works.
Yes you do need to go through an app review to get the permission for tracking streams
I have setup the facebook javascript sdk to initialize a friend invite dialog to send requests to friends. Clicking on the invite in Facebook, brings the user back to the site.
The query string has any and all request_ids that have not been handled (deleted).
I am following the documenation listed at the FB developers site here which states:
JavaScript SDK:
FB.api(requestId, 'delete', function(response) {
When they are returned to my site, the querystring has a request_ids parameter:
example: www.mysite.com/somepage?request_ids=0493834050
my Javascript code looks like this:
FB.api(requestIds[i], 'delete', function (response) {
console.log(response);
});
But the error I get is:
ERROR
code: 104
message: "An access token is required to request this resource."
type: "OAuthException"
All I want to do is delete the request ID. before I was even running the above code, the querystring was building up with every submitted request. It does appear they have been removed, because the querystring is reduced down to a single request id. But I am still uncertain it has been handled properly.
NOTE I am not using the Graph version - as I have not setup Graph on the app settings in Facebook.
I have the Facebook C# sdk - if someone has an easy way to do this here. I have tried the following with the same results.
var fbClient = new FacebookClient(accessToken)
fbClient.Delete(requestId);
I don’t see what’s possibly unclear about the error message – you need a valid access token to be able to delete requests, but by the looks of it you don’t have one.
So you’ll either have to have the user connect to your app in order to get an active access token for him; or you have to do it using your own app access token (but that’d have to be done server-side then, because you don’t want to transfer your app access token to the client side).
I'm fairly new to Facebook's Graph API.
I'm trying to use their Graph API Explorer to post a message to my Fan Page wall. I have the paramters setup like below:-
Req Type: POST
Post URI: https://graph.facebook.com/MY_APP_ID/feed
Name Value: { message : 'This is a test message' }
Obviously the access token is set-up automatically in the Explorer.
But for some reason I get the error (#200) The user hasn't authorized the application to perform this action when I try to make the request.
I assume I've got to set something up somewhere, but can't find anything? Any ideas?
See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions/ - you likely don't have the correct permissions in your access token - most likely to be missing is publish_stream
I'm developing an iPhone app with Appcelerator Titanium SDK 1.6.2
I am upload an photo to a users facebook album with the Titanium Facebook module, graph api.
The upload goes just fine and returns the items unique ID.
When I try to parse the JSON from the unique id I'm told i need to pass an access token, which makes sense.
How do I get the access token to be passed to the graph request url?
When I do a XHR GET request while passing Ti.Facebook.accessToken I get the following error
URL: https://graph.facebook.com/10150527948301195?access_token=t4CqzHallahfy4d7RnERrJb4ffOkQfJvrYrGEBoZ4so.epdiI6IjJGR2ZFY1ZTMHh6RlR6ZmNIcVctMHcifQ.NBRMth0vb7pXKcd8lHNz9aremoyNpvrbhz2P3zkgWJU4eHdfewOp1WruBNZS_lSDy0XM0Xu0ACry8aEmSckGJVQJxEioykrNZhT7S9mJG2OKWqMdk6ucg5IMhXMfndF9sdKwWrWb7uPKI57LzIOf5lvA
{
error = {
message = "Unsupported post request.";
type = GraphMethodException;
};
}
And if I don't pass Ti.Facebook.accessToken I'm asked for it.
I'm bound to be missing something, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you should be using Titanium.Facebook.requestWithGraphPath(...)
