I need to create module for website which display feeds from client.
I had get feed from facebook using graph api of fb. But when i click on the profile name it says profile is not available.
This issue is occuring because facebook has moved to graph api 2 and in this version user is returned on basis on app which is diffrent from actual user id.
So if i need to redirect page from the website. How can i implement this?
Thank you for your time.
You can use the link field of the User object like this:
/me?fields=id,first_name,last_name,link
The result will be similar to the following:
{
"id": "10152055263451244234",
"first_name": "TheFirstName",
"last_name": "TheLastName",
"link": "https://www.facebook.com/app_scoped_user_id/10152055263451244234/"
}
Or, if you already have a app-scoped user_id, you can construct the link manually by
"https://www.facebook.com/app_scoped_user_id/" + {user_id} + "/"

I would like to find the id (app-scoped) for someone who has posted a comment on a public page.
For example, I get a list of recent posts/comments on the NY Times page via:
v2.11/nytimes/feed?fields=comments.limit(10){message,created_time,from},name,message,from&limit=2
The data returned looks like this:
"comments": {
"data": [
{
"message": "Wouldn’t know. Not paying $13/mo for this.",
"created_time": "2017-12-10T05:57:18+0000",
"id": "10151412260164999_10151414049324999"
}
],
There is no from field. The same is also true if I attempt to view the comment directly using it's id with
v2.11/10151412260164999_10151414049324999?fields=from,message,created_time
I have tried using the Facebook Graph API Explorer, using both my User Token, as well as an App Token.
Since v2.11 of the Graph API, you need a Page Token to get user data of comments: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog/version2.11#gapi-90
User information will not be included in GET responses for any objects owned by (on) a Page unless the request is made with a Page access token. This affects all nodes and edges that return data for objects owned by a Page.
In other words: You can only get user information if you manage the Page.
Edit: Since the latests update in the Graph API, you have to get the App reviewed and you must go through Business Verification or Individual Verification. (thanx #Guiman04)
Please check whether you are using the accessToken for the page you are trying to get data from, i had same issue, and was resolved by using the correct accessToken for the page.
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
Long time lurker first time poster...
We are working with Facebooks API's to integrate into our web application and we are able to pull a Companies Page Rating via the {open_graph_story} parameter in the {page-id}/ratings section, however we cannot find a way to comment/reply to the rating. The documentation states:
"If a person has rated your page and a story has been generated, you can follow up with the person by posting to the story's comment node." (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.0/page/ratings)
however when we pull the variables we retrieve no ID to reference for a comment. This is what we receive back from our authenticated account:
"data": [
{ "created_time": "2014-07-16T05:52:50+0000", "reviewer": { "id": "100000237096397", "name": "Romey Salazar" }, "rating": 5, "review_text": "Great job guys!!!!" } ],
Does anyone know how to retrieve the id for the rating itself so we can append a comment via API? Or some other way to reply/comment to a FB Page Rating?
Thanks!
When you have some ratings/review comments on your page and if you want to post comment to individual review comments as the Page Owner, you can follow the steps below.
1) Below request returns the json object of rating and reviews.
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/{YOUR_PAGE_ID}/ratings?field=open_graph_story&access_token={YOUR_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN}
The response json will contain ID field for each and every rating/review comments.
2) Using the ID, trigger the below request to post a comment on the rating as the Page Owner. You will need Page access token with manage_pages and publish_pages privilege.
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/{ID_OF_THE_RATING}/comments?message=Thanks for your rating&access_token={YOUR_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN}
These requests can be tested using Facebook Graph API Explorer
You need to request the open_graph_story field with the ratings endpoint. This will return the open_graph_story data which includes an id. You can then post to the comments endpoint of this story.
You have to make http get request on
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/{PageID}/ratings?fields=open_graph_story&access_token={PageAccessToken}
to get detailed response.
Make sure the parameter is "fields" not "field"
With the upgrade from Facebook Graph API v1.0 to v2.0, Facebook is using "App-scoped User IDs", so I cannot see the "original" user ID inside my apps anymore.
I always used the Real Time Updates and graph API calls like "https://graph.facebook.com/{postId}/comments" to analyze user activity on the Facebook page where the app was. But since these data contain the original user ID, I'm not able to match the activities to my registered users anymore!
So is there a way to get the original Facebook user ID from an app-scoped user ID? Or the other way round?
EDIT:
I ended up fetching the app-scoped IDs for all my users using the API method mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29154912/3432305 and stored them in my database in addition to the old ID.
Then, whenever an RTU arrived, for "old users" I would check which user has this app-scoped ID and process the update.
At least Facebook managed to fix the bug mentioned in the comments (Get Facebook User ID from app-scoped User ID) a few days before the API v1.0 was deprecated, so for new users of my apps, it works like a charm. So far...
From your conversation between Johannes N.
Can I get the app-scoped ids (for apps I own) via the original user
id. that would help too.
To get app-scoped ids from original user id can be easily done via:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.0/?ids=http://www.facebook.com/USER_ID&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
Yo can use fields parameter to return only id:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.0/?ids=http://www.facebook.com/USER_ID&fields=id&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
The benefit of ids instead of id because you can query multiple ids:
*www can be remove to minimize characters count.
To get app-scoped ids from username can be easily done too:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.0/?ids=http://www.facebook.com/USERNAME&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
there's no (simple/obvious) possibility to get a real user id based on an app-scoped user id.
You can't go from scoped back to real. Your best bet is converting all of them to scoped. It's pretty easy:
https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=REAL_ID&access_token=APP_ID|APP_SECRET
Here's some simple Ruby code that does this:
require 'open-uri'
require 'json'
json = JSON.load(open("https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=#{real_id}&access_token=#{FACEBOOK_APP_ID}|#{FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET}"))
scoped_id = /app_scoped_user_id\/(\d+)\//.match(json[real_id.to_s]['link'])[1]
I found a website can help you get facebook user id from app scoped id.
It's here http://izitools.com/en/tool/get-facebook-id-from-scoped-id
API
there is a dirty hack to retrieve original user id
http://graph.facebook.com/app-scoped-id this returns the facebook public information as follows,
{
"id": "app-scoped-id",
"first_name": "xxxx",
"gender": "male",
"last_name": "yyyy",
"link": "https://www.facebook.com/zzzz",
"locale": "en_US",
"name": "xxxx yyyy",
"username": "zzzz"
}
Then you make another graph api call with username
http://graph.facebook.com/zzzz
This will returns the original facebook id and other public information, instead of app-scoped-id
Is there a way to get the ID of the picture that is the current profile picture for a user?
Edit: OK, seems there is no trivial way to get the ID!
However, it appears from random testing that every user has a single album with attribute type="profile", and the first image in this album is always the profile picture, so it is possible to get the ID of the profile picture that way. Can some more experienced with Facebook confirm that this is indeed always the case?
You can get the users public profile photo from the following url:
https://graph.facebook.com/[id]/picture
Reference:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/
The answer seems to be yes
e.g., the photos in an album have an ID (the profile photo is a different object though, which a different FB ID). An ID for every object is a core concept of FB's new graph API: Every object in the social graph has a unique ID.
Indeed, data request i have ever made through the FB Graph API returns (when successful) a response in the form of a JSON array, comprised of nested ID-Value pairs, e.g. the education field from a User object:
"education": [
{
"school": {
"id": "126533127390327",
"name": "Massachusetts Institute of Technology"
},
"year": {
"id": "140829239279495",
"name": "1992"
},
"concentration": [
{
"id": "192578844099494",
"name": "Computer Science"
}
],
"type": "College"
}
The profile photo is a connection of the User object (i.e., every FB object has Fields and Connections).
According to the table in the relevant FB Developer Page, a call to the Graph API requesting picture (user's profile photo(s)) returns a string which is the URL for the user's profile picture.
But why doesn't this same call return the user's profile photo ID?
The reason i suppose is that the URL returns:
Graph API : User Properties
The user's profile photo is not there, but in an adjacent node:
Graph API : User : Connections : picture
(See FB Documentation for Graph API structure here).
When you make that API call, examine the Request Headers, and in particular, the Request URL; when you do, you'll see something like this:
http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/32093_100005743929541_5467982_q.jpg
The string between the underscores (100005743929541) is the user ID. this is easy to verify by making another call to the Graph API. From your browser location bar (assuming you are logged into Facebook) just enter:
https://graph.facebook.com/me
So again, the first item in that JSON string is the user's FB ID. Given that, it seems to me that if user profile ID does indeed have its own ID, then that string (user's FB ID) plus the two smaller adjacent strings of integers on either end of the ID, should be it--in other words, 32093_100005743929541_5467982 in the Request URL above.
Finally, perhaps the best way to answer this is by using the new Graph API Explorer. (I just tried to verify this, but my requests are hanging.)
There is one more simple way to accomplish this task.
Fetch all facebook albums by https://graph.facebook.com/me/albums?access_token=.
Loop into the albums and check if object type == 'profile'.
Get the value of object cover_photo where type == 'profile'.
This value of cover_photo is the id of profile pic of the user.
You can check it by https://graph.facebook.com/<cover_photo value>?access_tokne=
I don't know if you still need this but this is the way I did it in PHP:
$albumsfb = $facebook->api('/me/albums/?fields=type');
$albumsfb = $albumsfb['data'];
foreach ($albumsfb as $albumfb) {
if ($albumfb['type']=='profile'){
$albumprofile = $albumfb['id'];
break;
};
}
$photoprofilefb = $facebook->api('/'.$albumprofile.'/?fields=cover_photo');
$photoprofilefb = $photoprofilefb['cover_photo'];
$photoprofilefb = $facebook->api('/'.$photoprofilefb);
$fotoperfilfburl = $photoprofilefb['source'];
Instead of "me", put the user id that you want?
http://graph.facebook.com/<SOCIAL-ID>/picture?type=<small|normal|album|large|square>
SOCIAL-ID = Facebook returned social id.
small|normal|album|large|square = size of image.
I recently tried to like one of my friend's profile pictures from the Graph API explorer
Here's how I got the id of his current profile pic:
fields=friends..fields(albums.fields(photos.fields(id,name,link),name))
If you have used the Graph API explorer, you might be aware of the above line of code that's generated in the textEntry when you tick the checkboxes. The limit size is up to you, I just kept it 1 to receive the JSON object quickly (without the limit, it took me 5 minutes to get the JSON object containing a lot of information).
So here are the things you need to check in the Graph API (maintain the order):
Friends
Within Friends Albums
Within Albums Name and Photos (Within Photos the id and name of the photo)
I made a PHP script to like all the profile pictures of my friends :)
