Error: This link is blocked, or you have triggered an excessive amount of scrapes. If you think you're seeing this by mistake, please let us know.
I am hoping someone out there can help me. Things I have done in efforts to correct this:
Clicked the "let us know" link
Talked to one of Facebook's sales representatives, she said she see's no obvious reason why this is happening
Perfected our open graph html tags
Registered and monitor for all major blacklisting companies, we have a good status on all I can find
Changed our IP address, for the record you can use the IP as the URL (http://54.68.7.197/) and the error changes to: Failed to get composer template data.
Opened Bug Ticket with Facebook was told to put this on this site: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/460783617337306/
If anyone has anything that can help, please help a fellow frustrated programmer out!
I solved it! Since the time of my question I have:
Wrote a letter pleading to Facebook
Deleted an old hacked account
Asked 20 people to click the "let us know" link that appears when
banned
Final solution that worked....
I started paying for post advertising on my page, nothing that went to the website. One of the posts I really wanted to promote our new blog post so when I posted it I put the IP address in the URL instead of the TLD. Posted it, advertised it for $5, 10 minutes later we were unbanned!
Hopefully this answer helps someone else that is going through this hell!

I need to use the member profile plugin from LinkedIn for a project. So I generated my personal "code" at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins/member-profile . Which gives me the following standard code sample
<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="IN/MemberProfile" data-id="https://www.linkedin.com/in/myname" data-format="inline"></script>
Where "myname" is obviously replaced with the name at which my public LinkedIn profile is found.
My problem is that there is nothing showing, after inspecting the resulting html at a couple of frames deep there is only a hidden div with the following content:
<h2>
Your Request Could not be Completed.
</h2>
I have checked all my privacy settings on LinkedIn and they are configured to make sure all information is publicly available and there should be no reason to let this plugin fail. I even checked with a colleague and we compared settings, the settings were the same but his plugin worked and mine did not.
Does anyone know what is causing this problem? Is there a setting we are missing, which is detrimental to this plugin?
(fyi, the plugin is running from a server so there is no problem to actually get the script)
The question was asked several times here (as the LinkedIn support is unwilling to help and redirect here where developers seldom answer questions)
See this question
Linkedin Member Profile Plugin not working for some profiles
One month after it was asked (yes one month!!!), a LinkedIn dev answered:
"The problem is under investigation. Several profiles still work fine, so there isn't a systemic issue with the plugin itself, but rather with certain profiles in particular."
Note that the number of particular profiles seem to be huge, because 9 out of 10 profiles I try fail.
Nothing has changed since then...
This is not the only bug in LinkedIn which is litteraly ruining my experience with it.
I used to love LinkedIn, but the way their support is treating customers (yes I am not only a user but also a customer because I pay for ads...) + the fact that they just can't seem to detect/fix their bug is making me become very bitter about them.
So all you can do is to cross fingers and hope that somewhere, someone will finally care about this and fix the bug...
Humbly asking for any assistance people have time to give me on this one. Let me start by saying that I am aware there are previous questions about this on this site and elsewhere on the web; I have read a lot of them, and they are either unanswered/resolved, had a particular cause that doesn't apply to me, or suggests things I have already done.
Over the past few days, Facebook has suddenly stopped scraping my website posts successfully, so when I paste a link into Facebook it pulls nothing through - no thumb or description. I run the links through the FB lint/debugger, and it alternates between 403 and 503 response codes, but mainly 403. Previous links that Facebook has cached/successfully scraped still display with thumbs and desc, but still present as a 403 or 503 response.
My site is http://21stcenturyburlesque.com
One of the new URLs I have been testing is : http://21stcenturyburlesque.com/the-burlesque-top-50-2013/
I have checked with the server/host people. Nothing has changed, everything fine.
I have tried with the default wordpress theme. No change.
I have read threads about Bullet Proof Security causing issues, although why it suddenly would I don't know. It was deactivated on my site anyway, but I went through the removal process to remove the htaccess file with the BPS code in it. I have then run debug without an htaccess file present, and with a very basic htaccess present. No change.
Hotlinking protection is disabled in my cpanel.
I have experimented with adding/removing www. and / when I paste the link into lint as someone suggested. No change.
I use Facebook OGP Wordpress plugin. I spoke to the creator and he says the plugin is working as it should and to contact my host/server. See bullet one.
I tried creating a new FB App and using the new App Id number with the OGP plugin. No change.
Checked the cpanel error log. This came up three times tonight:
[Fri Nov 01 21:47:53 2013] [error] [client 193.242.149.35] File does not exist: /home/**/public_html/403.shtml
There are a few other things I ruled out but I've been at this for so long I can't remember all of them, so if someone suggests something else I've tried then I apologise for not mentioning it here in advance.
If anyone can suggest anything else, I would really appreciate it. I manage to fix most technical problems I come up against, but this has stumped me and my much more experienced colleague and it is really affecting my clickthrough rates and site traffic. If it comes down to adding things to my htaccess file, I would appreciate guidance on what to add/remove. Many thanks in advance.
I had the same problem. Drove me crazy for hours (maybe days). In your FB app settings make sure that the top Facebook url has http://
I am having a go at trying to get the Facebook API SDK for ColdFusion working.
https://github.com/affinitiz/facebook-cf-sdk
I have followed all the steps and it seems to work well (using only server-side login).
However, if I leave the page for say, an hour, when I return and refresh the page (which was showing my profile name and friends list) it shows up with an error that I am unable to get rid of, unless I clear the cookies.
Is there something I am missing with this FB login? Am I meant to be checking against something manually in order to persist the session?
Looking at my cookies, I have the following stored:
fbm_155030275875
fbsr_155030275875
CFID
CFTOKEN
It's all new to me, so I'm a bit lost. I can't see anything in the docs for the SDK about this and Googling the error brings nothing.
I have attached a screenshot of the error.
I'd appreciate any help you can offer!
Thanks,
Michael.
I'm not familiar enough with that particular project, but in general, your code should be requesting the various Graph API calls, and requesting the token as necessary. If the token has expired, you request a new one. I'd expect the facebook-cf-sdk product to do this, but again, I'm unfamiliar with it.
Good news is, the Facebook Graph API is just a series of HTTP calls. See my talk at NC DevCon for an example of logging in and making some graph calls: (a bit long; go to about the 1:42:00 mark)

These don't answer your question 100%, but they may be a good starting point for you.
Ok, I figured out how to solve this issue using a solution someone provided on Github. I just wanted to post this here in case someone else encountered the issue and wasn't sure how to solve it. In my case however, after I applied the solution from that post was I need to do a page refresh. Link below.

Hello fellow community members,
I was unable to find a helpful answer, so I will give this a try: I recently developed a website that has a FB "Recommend" (same as "Like") button implemented. I have never dealt with this before, hence my complete lack of knowledge.
Now, I implemented the code the FB developer's Like page (--> http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/) creates correctly into the website (both the script and the DIV-tag, yet something that is not automatically generated seems to be missing and needs to be added for the button to work correctly. It currently does not post to the FB wall.
Upon doing a debugging check, I received the following results: [...]
Unfortunately, I have no clue what to do with that data. How and where exactly in the HTML code do I implement those missing TAGS and PROPERTIES? Any help would be highly appreciated...
Kind regards & many thanks in advance, :-)

It looks like you're missing the Open Graph meta tags. Those go into the head of your page.
Facebook has a generator to help you create the tags, but you'll need to add them into your markup.
I have since two days trouble with a normal login/oauth(orization) via a facebook application.
It behaves as like the app never left Sandbox Mode (which is disabled):
Login Fails for (alot/some/not all) normal users however there's no problem for the page admins, developers etc. to authorize.
There's an error at the oauth page of facebook, not very helpful:
"An error occurred. Please try again later."
I made a stupid test app, that really does not much:
The app at facebook:
http://apps.facebook.com/mygeneraltesting/
The URL of the iframe (no https there): (I'm restricted to two urls in one post, so see it as a comment)
The minimal possible (IMHO) URL to the Oauth dialog:
(I'm restricted to two urls in one post, so see it as a comment)
It really seems like the error is caused by facebook, but it is hard to find someone else with this problem online. So I'd like to ask:
Is anyone else seeing the error message from above?
Is anybody out there with the same problems on their app?
If you like to make a code review, (see: http://graphicore.de/downloads/generaltesting.tar.gz ) is there anything suspicious?
Thanks alot, Lasse
(the German errror message for search the engines: "Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es später noch einmal.")
This question is very dated now. The answer is: Facebook made something wrong. The same code worked on another app created some time later (I don't even remember how much later) but never worked on that app, AFAIK. So it was just a broken app on facebook side.
