Recently I get temporary errors from Facebook API after user is trying to share a post through "me/feed" route.
The error message is :
"message":"Service temporarily unavailable",
"type":"FacebookApiException",
"is_transient":true, "code":2,
"error_subcode":1609010,
"error_user_title":"URL Not Found",
"error_user_msg":"We had trouble using the URL you provided. Please try again later.",
"fbtrace_id":"DgSULoXJMfK"
Anyone know what could be the reason for this?
I'm pretty confident this is a bug. We're finding that the exact same post will fail when published to some pages, but succeed on others. This sort of inconsistency along with the feedback of others (see below) suggests that this behavior is due to a bug.

I tried to get Data from Facebook Page with the graph of Facebook but I have a problem.
When I try to go on link like:
https://graph.facebook.com/ID-PAGE?access_token=MY_ACCESS_TOKEN
I always do this to have the Data from a Page but since today I have the error Message: "An unknown error has occurred".
Thanks for help.
EDIT:
The bug is fixed : https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/486654544831076/?search_id
Have a look at my answer at
How to get user email and birthday from Facebook API Version v2.4
You have to specify each field you want to query now with v2.4. If you want to explicitly use v2.3, you need to prepend your calls by /v2.3 like this:
/v2.3/{page_id}?access_token=MY_ACCESS_TOKEN
Seems like there's currently a bug regarding requests made with app access tokens instead of user access tokens:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/486654544831076/
At this moment, I pretty much figured out what is happening, and it looks like a bug in the Facebook API.
For v2.3 and lower:
The /PAGE-ID call will return an Unknown server error when you don't pass ?fields=username (for example). If you do pass the fields option, it will work. You can get it out of the docs.
For v2.4:
This will work, but you will miss a lot of data, so you'll also have to pass the fields options. But if you don't pass that, this version will give you back only the most basic of details. This is as described in the version release: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2015/07/08/graph-api-v2.4/
So the solution for now, would be to add the ?fields= everywhere you need, or to wait for Facebook to maybe ever solve it.
(And while you're at it, you might as well upgrade to v2.4 ;-)
Sometimes, when I post a reply to a comment through the graph API on a FB page (replies are enabled in the page parameters), I get generic FB "transient" errors which are not transient:
{u'error': {u'code': 2, u'message': u'An unexpected error has occurred. Please retry your request later.', u'is_transient': True, u'type': u'OAuthException'}}
A typical example is: https://www.facebook.com/VoyagesSncf.com/posts/377070219021428 where I cannot even post replies myself using the FB web interface.
I wonder if someone would know what could cause this specific FB discussion to behave this way and what I could do to detect programmatically that I need to give up on posting a reply and s
It seems to be a facebook api's bug, reported here: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/281179468741734/
I've got the same problem while creating a new (even unpublished) post. But it is transient indeed, but it may took a few ours, when facebook will behave as expected.
I'm afraid, there is no workaround for this issue for now.
I'm recently experiencing troubles with a company page at Facebook. I used to access the https://graph.facebook.com/[page alias]/feed url (providing an access token of course). It has been working for months now and it suddenly stopped.
The JSON I get is the following:
{
message: "An unexpected error has occurred. Please retry your request later.",
type: "OAuthException",
code: 2
}
It stopped working the day/night after the page posted a status containing a link (in terms of Facebook graph), and also it contained 3 bit.ly links. I have the assumption that the (whole!) feed got blocked because of this, as this could be considered spamming ... It's a serious website, though!
Any tips on this? I found this on the internet: http://support.conversocial.com/entries/23482331-Known-issue-Facebook-Shortened-URLs-such-as-bit-ly
My advice would be to remove the post containing those links and - hope - that it gets "enabled" at some time - but it would be disappointing if not, of course :)
When my app tries to post on "friends wall" sometimes i receive this error:
{"error":
{"message":"(#1) An error occured while creating the share",
"type":"OAuthException",
"code":1}
}
I'm sure to have (and to use) long access_token and publish_stream permission, in fact sometimes it works and sometimes not.
Do you have any idea about the cause of the problem?
The ability to post on a friend's wall has been deprecated and will be removed in 90 days (for the reasons described in this blog post: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2012/10/10/growing-quality-apps-with-open-graph/
Whilst that doesn't directly answer your question, it does make it moot and you should take an alternative approach (also described in the post)
I'm looking for a list of all Facebook can return when you try to fetch infos using Graph API. Can anyone help?
Facebook returns a 400 HTTP error, and a JSON content like:
{
"error": {
"type": "OAuthException",
"message": "Invalid OAuth access token signature."
}
}
I'm searching the different returns of the same kind it is possible to get.
Facebook used to have this published somewhere, but for whatever reason it was removed. But you can find the full list here:
http://www.takwing.idv.hk/tech/fb_dev/faq/general/gen_10.html
There seems to be a list now for the errors.
I posted answer for the same question here: Facebook Graph API error code list
(I found the list here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api/error-handling)
In case Takwing's copy ever comes down, here's another copy: http://fbdevwiki.com/wiki/Error_codes
These codes were primarily for the REST API, but they do also come up with the Graph API. Some of the Graph API calls have underlying FQL calls that return the FQL error codes. And the direct FQL queries are still part of the currently accepted API.
Update: I'm trying to keep this list up-to-date. Please feel free to make changes as you encounter new errors.
I am trying to keep an updated list of error codes based on previous outdated information.
You can find the repo here http://github.com/phwd/fbec and it has been updated with Test User and Credit Error codes from the Facebook Documentation.
Currently looking for the constant name for "Error Code 2500" and some error descriptions may have changed. I hope to keep on top of this.
There is an official error code page, now:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/error-reference/
It still doesn't look comprehensive...
