I'm trying to get videos of facebook page using facebook graph api.
I get it to work when I use my personal access facebook accounts access token but if I try to use my apps token it returns
{
"error": {
"message": "A user access token is required to request this resource.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 102
}
}
Is there way to get pages public videos from the api by using app token?
If not, is there way to use just my personal access token and renewing it automatically without requiring the user to login. (Server would always make the request with MY OWN access token, not their)

My web-application need to fetch posts from facebook and save content in pages.
I'm have developer account with business access (authomatically contains permissions pages_read_engagement).
I'm try to get API-key by request: https://graph.facebook.com/v8.0/oauth/access_token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=****&client_secret=***
API return me access token and token type:
{
"access_token": "|", "token_type": "bearer" }
After that i try to get feeds via request: https://graph.facebook.com/APP_ID/feed?fields=is_published,id,attachments{title},message,created_time,full_picture&access_token=***&appsecret_proof=***
But API return me error:
"error": {
"message": "(#10) This endpoint requires the 'pages_read_user_content' permission or the 'Page Public Content Access' feature. Refer to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/login-permissions#manage-pages and https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/feature#reference-PAGES_ACCESS for details.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 10,
"fbtrace_id": "AbApv_PjRlplW2Abv61zNCx" } }
I'm trying to get a long-lived user access token, and it worked correctly, but only 60 days and blocked, Then I have to restore it manually.
Account with API is administrator of group and Page read content should work
Support replied that the rights pages_read_engagement will be enough, recommended to change the API version to 10.0, but it did not help. What am I doing wrong?
I tried to use the app key, but it does not work, you need to use the user access token (which has restrictions), or create a system user (which no longer has such restrictions)
I'm create the system user and use his API key.
I'm trying to retrieve Facebook Lead using graph API using App Token to be long time token.
But the graph API return the following error
{
"error": {
"message": "A user access token is required to request this resource.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 102,
"fbtrace_id": ""
}
}
I want to retrieve it with app token, any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
I have found solution. If you need to retrieve page leadgen then you must use page access token where ad was created and generated, otherwise it doesn't work.
How I have solved this case:
Connect to application and logging in with user
Exchange retrieved user short (1-2h) access token to long lived access token (~60 days if not using access token, else if you use it daily it will never expire)
call facebook api to retrieve user pages thru server using new users long lived token (this way page access tokens will have ~60 days and if use it daily then it will never expire)
when webhook sends you leadgen_id use server call to retrieve lead data using not app access token but long lived page access token that you have saved in database. As webhook sends leadgen_id, page_id and etc, you can connect page access token to page id and then with webhook data you can get correct access token and retrieve details about the lead from facebook.
For me this approach worked. I'm using Python to communicate in server side.
Comment or message me if you'r having issues.
I have admin access to a Business Facebook page, I created an app under the same account, when I then try to use the Graph API Explorer under that application using the access token generated I get:
get/v2.5/{client-name}/
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100
}
I have full access so I do not know why I am getting a error. This normally works fine when I try it on a standard Facebook page, is there something extra I need to do for Business pages?
Since you are trying with an App Token, i assume that the Page is restricted by age or location. In that case, you have to use a User Token or Page Token of a user who is allowed to see the Page and its content.
More information about Tokens:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens

I am facing this error with some of my users, the case is as following:
I use facebook "App access token" to post actions to facebook Open Graph instead of the user access token because app access token don't expire according to facebook documentation unless you refreshed the app secret, I use the follwoing Post url to post actions
https://graph.facebook.com/user_facebook_id/App_Namespace:action_name?FBOG_Object=FBOG_OBJECT_URL&access_token=app_access_token
Some of the actions do appear on facebook, but for some users the actions fails to post and return the following message:
{ "error": { "message": "Error validating access token: Session has expired at unix time 1345759200. The current unix time is 1345925578.", "type": "OAuthException", "code": 190, "error_subcode": 463 } }
What am I doing wrong? Why do I have an expiration error although am using the app access token? Should I worry for user permissions?
After checking the servers it seems that the code that uses the app token was not deployed and the code that uses the user token is still there.
The app token does not expire unless the app owner took some action.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/applications/
Error message clearly shows that your access token expired and you need to get another one.
However you can handle this issue : Access token expiration
Also if you are looking for a long life token you need to provide some more parameters while authorizing the application to a new user.
offline_access parameter can be included in a request but now it's been deprecated by facebook. Removal of offline access
I'm trying to get the statuses of a facebook page. For this I need an access token, which I can obtain by this:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?
client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET&
grant_type=client_credentials
(Found here)
But when I try to access the graph api manually, with the access token, like this: https://graph.facebook.com/id_of_page/statuses?access_token=my_fresh_access_token, I always get this error:
{
"error": {
"message": "A user access token is required to request this resource.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 102
}
}
Are there different 'kinds' of access tokens? Or what am I doing wrong?
There are several access tokens on Facebook.
The access token you are receiving is an app access token which is more limited than the user access token.
The access tokens available are explained here under 'Access Token terminology': https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions/
