I have an App that needs to query a users's profile post.
For any post, I'm trying to figure out:
the number of people (profiles) mentioned and
the names of the people (profiles) mentioned
Assume the user has already given the App access to view their profile data.
See here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.3/post
According to the documentation, if a user mentions 2 profiles, say "Friend1" and "Friend2" then I should be able to get back a response that includes the field:
which has some profile information for "Friend1" and "Friend2".
The problem I'm having is given the GET query
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/10207722160149556_10207755501343065
I get the response:
{:created_time "2015-11-08T09:29:54+0000", :message "Friend1 Friend2 testing again sorry just ignore", :id "10207722160149556_10207755501343065"}
I don't get a to field or for that matter a bunch of other information?
Does anyone know how I can get back what is listed in the documentation as what I should be getting?
Any help would be appreciated
In case this helps, these are the permissions I'm currently requesting:
["user_photos" "user_friends" "publish_actions"
"user_posts" "user_likes" "user_relationships"
"user_about_me" "email" "public_profile"
"user_tagged_places"]
Kind regards,
Jason.
Sorry, bad case of not reading the documentation and a library that I was using that got in the way.
I have to include a "field" query param to specify what I want returned.
After that and validating with a curl call I can get the information I need.

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.
Im building an application that manages comments for instagram business profiles, and i'm a little surprised that there doesn't seem to be a way to get info of the user who made the comment.
The docs seem to point this way too:
Reading a Comment
To read an individual comment's metadata, send a GET request to the /{instagram_comment_id} node and include any of the following fields:
...
user (only returned if the user making the query also made the comment)
So, am i to understand that there is no way to get the info of a user which made a comment on a media of the profile i manage or is there something i am missing? any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
This url worked for me:
v3.0/{comment_id}?fields=id,timestamp,username,text
somehow I was able to get the username from graph API, but I'm not getting the fields name, profile_picture_url, etc. this is my URL for getting the username.
GET https://graph.facebook.com/v2.11
/123?fields=mentioned_comment.comment_id(456){user{id, username}, text}
123 - instagram_business_account id
456 - comment id
You can get full user details from username by Calling Instagram API(Maybe it's against there privacy policy). suppose stackoverflow is the username, by calling this API you will get full data.

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
The API documented here - http://developer.yammer.com/restapi/#rest-users clearly states:
"4) Alias to /api/v1/users/current user’s id.format. Supports include_followed_users, include_followed_tags, and include_group_memberships parameters.
GET https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/users/by_email.json?email=user#domain.com`
Yet, when we try this, it does not return any followed user information at all! The request we're using is like so:
https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/users/by_email.json?email=me#company.com&include_followed_users=true
However, this request DOES return followed users, but only for the current user:
https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/users/current.json?include_followed_users=true
Am I missing something completely obvious and being stupid or is there a real issue here? If this was taken out for whatever reason, then you'd have thought that the API documentation would have been updated.
The Yammer Team did eventually get back to me on this. Their response below:
(I've removed https://www.yammer.com from URLs because I don't have enough rep' to post more links)
Hey Jason Dunbar looks like the documentation here is wrong.
I looked in to this and had some conversations with a few engineers this week and have the following (albeit more arduous workaround):
1) Call get user by email endpoint and retrieve the id attribute from here: /api/v1/users/by_email.json?email=user…
2) To grab following users, take that id and:
GET /api/v1/users/following/[:id].json
3) To grab group memberships for that user you'll need to impersonate him/her (verified admin only) and
GET /api/v1/users/current.json
We'll get the documentation updated ASAP with this. Also happy to keep the conversation going to help if needed.
Make sure you are setting the email parameter to the user's email that they are registered with.
E.G. if your company has multiple domains but the Yammer network is under bigco.com and the user is registered with an email under bigcosubsidiary.com you'll need to make a request to the API with user#bigcosubsidiary.com.
-as mentioned - it looks like its only for current.json - you can check it here http://yammer-dev.herokuapp.com/endpoints/4 - hope it helps.

I found a good tutorial for building Facebook membership Authentication website which demo file is here > http://niftyandcrackerjack.com/sites/default/files/Test.zip
I wonder this example does not use access token to retrieve Facebook User Info. It use classes inherits from the masterpage. As I am new to ASP.NET, I don't know how to retrieve Facebook user info. Can someone give me and suggestion or explain...... Thanks,
My finding so far indicate that basic information cannot be accessed unless one has either 'userid' or 'username' as in this post.
If one has to try and fetch basic information using following url, then access_token is needed
http://graph.facebook.com/me
Perform an HTTP GET to https://graph.facebook.com/{userid} or HTTP GET to https://graph.facebook.com/{username}
Examples: Click the link below to see the JSON response.
https://graph.facebook.com/4
https://graph.facebook.com/zuck
Pretty cool, eh? And no token needed to get at this public info.
You can get more info on this here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api
