Since yesterday morning the "CONTAINS" FQL function doesn't work for the application table.
For example, the query: SELECT link,display_name FROM application WHERE CONTAINS ('slot')
the result is: {
"error": {
"message": "(#200) Must have a valid access_token to access this endpoint",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200
}
}
But for the user table query: SELECT first_name FROM user WHERE CONTAINS ('ben')
the result is: {
"data": [
{
"first_name": "Benjamin"
},
{
"first_name": "Benjamin"
},
{
"first_name": "Damon"
}...
There was no warning or notice about it from FB.
Any one knows what is the reason for that, and how can i search apps using the FB API?
Thanks

I am using the "taggable_friends" api to get the list of all friends then uses the user ID (a string of 110 chars) to get user detailes like this:
FB.api('/' + gFriend.id , 'GET',{},
function(response) {
console.log("response",response)
});
In the result I get an error
(#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: {The user Id I have submitted}
Did FB blocked user details API in version 2?
taggable_friends if for tagging only, you can´t use it for anything else and you don´t get a User ID. You only get a "tagging token" that can only be used for tagging. If you just want to create a "friend pic collage", you need to use /me/friends instead. Of course you will only get friends who authorized your app with the user_friends permission.
[from comments] I want to show friend pic collage
The taggable_friends endpoint does return URLs of the friend’s profile pictures already.
You get a data structure like this,
{
"data": [
{
"id": "AaKYNqeDaP…",
"name": "Foo Barski",
"picture": {
"data": {
"is_silhouette": false,
"url": "https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-1/p50x50/…"
}
}
},
{
"id": "AaKBGEbAAvYU…",
"name": "Some One Else",
"picture": {
"data": {
"is_silhouette": false,
"url": "https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-1/p50x50/…"
}
}
},
So all you need to do is use those URLs provided in the picture structure.
I'm using the Facebook Graph API to fetch a public page feed. I created a basic application to get appId and secret. When I make a call to PUBLIC_PAGE_ID/feed I can retrieve the correct list of posts in JSON, but they are missing all the field I need, described in docs, and only have message, created_time and id:
{
"data": [
{
"message": "...",
"created_time": "2015-06-11T07:57:05+0000",
"id": "23X12XXXXXX9836_11XXXXXXXX610XXXX52"
},
...
Why all other data isn't there?
The response to your query: /id/feed is the default response. To access more data, you have to pass a fields parameter with the keyword of data you would like to retrieve.
For example: <id>/feed?fields=id,message,picture,shares
This will return:
{
"data": [
{
"id": "1234567890",
"message": "Message",
"picture": "http://fbcdn.com/xxxxxx.jpg",
"shares": {
"count": 0
}
}
}
What I could figure out is you should submit the app for review with at least one permission what your app still needs and then you will get back every data what you ask in the fields parameter.
Moving from FQL to Graph API, I found that the V2.2 Graph API apprequests node returns inconsistent responses.
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.2/<id>/apprequests
sometimes returns JSON with the "from" field and sometimes not.
The correct JSON is:
"application": {
"name": "Myapp",
"namespace": "My NS",
"id": "123456"
},
"created_time": "2015-03-16T19:34:00+0000",
"data": "invite",
"from": {
"id": "111111",
"name": "Sender name"
},
"message": "Come and play!",
"to": {
"id": "99999",
"name": "Recipient"
},
"id": "123_456"
}
However, the "from" field in the JSON is sometimes missing (even when requesting it specifically in the "fields" parameter).
When using FQL, I always get the sender_uid field (with the same app token and same user):
SELECT request_id, app_id, recipient_uid, sender_uid FROM apprequest
WHERE app_id = <appID> and recipient_uid=<FBID>
Can anybody explain the mystery?
Facebook's response after investigating this bug: This is by design. There are certain privacy restrictions on Graph API which didn't apply to the deprecated FQL.
We investigated this on our end and found that this happens when the user blocked the application or completely removed Facebook's third party integration.
My query on the Facebook graph explorer is ..../175126819173613_796398493713106/likes?fields=total_count
Where the long number is a post id. For some reason, the post/likes edge only has a data field and the above query fails with:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#100) Unknown fields: total_count.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 100
}
}
The reference says that each like edge should have a total_counts field so I'm not sure what I'm missing.
Old question but,
175126819173613_796398493713106/likes?summary=1&limit=0
gives
{
"data": [],
"summary": {
"total_count": 2
}
}
https://graph.facebook.com/search?access_token=xxxxxx&q=hello&type=post&fields=from,message,picture,link,name,caption,description,created_time&limit=1&locale=en_US&scope=publish_stream,offline_access,user_status,read_stream
After such a graph search, I get some data like:
{
"data": [
{
"from": {
"name": "Eric Fluegge",
"id": "100000626293694"
},
"message": "Well, here's go nothing. Hello Tennessee.",
"created_time": "2013-03-30T19:23:44+0000",
"id": "100000626293694_567340783296793"
}
],
"paging": {
"previous": "https://graph.facebook.com/search?fields=from,message,picture,link,name,caption,description,created_time&q=hello&limit=1&type=post&locale=en_US&access_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&since=1364671424&__previous=1",
"next": "https://graph.facebook.com/search?fields=from,message,picture,link,name,caption,description,created_time&q=hello&limit=1&type=post&locale=en_US&access_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&until=1364671423"
}
}
so, is "id": "100000626293694_567340783296793" a post id? If so, how to use this post id, query again, get only this certain post information? I would like to store post id to mysql table, then I want to query the post anytime in the future, thanks.
EIDT: in app setting, i have set the publish_stream,offline_access,user_status,read_stream
EIDT2:
I have tried into Graph API Explorer, choose read_stream and generate a long live token.
SELECT post_id, actor_id, message, type, attachment FROM stream WHERE post_id = "100000626293694_567340783296793"
the result still empty. so I cannot get a post bcause i am not a friend of the post auther? or 100000626293694_567340783296793 is not a post id? or other reason?
Yep, the "id": "100000626293694_567340783296793" is a post ID, you can query its data again with the following URL: http://graph.facebook.com/100000626293694_567340783296793
Attention!
You should ask for the read_stream permission/scope too! Or else you'll get the following error:
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request.",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100
}
}
And of course, append the access_token to your GET url. (and don't forget https too)
