Before I ask my question here are a few details of my setup and the problem I am facing.
This is my first post on StackOverflow :).
Platform :
Unity3d engine + Prime31 plugin for Facebook
Context :
I am trying to integrate Facebook into our Mobile iOS app, developed using Unity3d (still in development), and I am trying to post to the user's friend's wall using a plugin called Prime31.
Problem :
I keep getting a 403 forbidden error when I post to the friends wall
Code :
I am using the following piece of code
var token = FacebookBinding.getAccessToken();
Debug.Log( "access token: " + token );
var param = new Dictionary<string,object>
{
{"message", "Test message for dragons "},
{"access_token" , token},
{"name", "School of Dragons"},
{"caption", "Join the world of Dragons"},
};
Facebook.instance.post(id+"/feed",param, OnPostComplete);
Where id is retrieved from another piece of code.
Additional Info :
With the same setup, publishing on my own wall works. (me/feed instead of id/feed)
The friend I am trying to post to and myself both are listed as developers in the account for the app.
I have the the info.plist additions according to the steps provided by Prime31.
I have done extensive googling on this problem and most of the replies indicate a high number of posts being made from the server / app as a possible reason.
Questions :
Is filling in the Native IOS App setting in the developer console a must for publishing ?
Is the number of posts made by a developer application in Facebook restricted ? Because I can post to the same friends wall with the same content outside of the app. This seems to be the least likely scenario.
Why could this problem be happening ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as we have a deadline approaching in three days and this feature should be done and ready in a couple of days.
Thanks

When I use me/photo to share a picture I have meet 403 error.My case is because of my Facebook app not approve the publish_actions permission,and I use a normal user for test,just test user can use not approved permissions.You can use app manage page's menu "Status & Review" -> "Submission" to request permission.
Well, I'm using unity3D I had the same FBResult::Error (res.Error.Text) text (403 forbidden)
You need to see what the res.ToString() says.
For example mine is
""message":"(#200) Requires extended permission: publish_actions","type":"OAuthException","code":200,"fbtrace_id":"C3X4jSCm7or"

I've created a Facebook app, linked it with a business, submitted and passed review, the business is verified, contracts signed, the app has leads_retrieval permission, the app status is now live.
I can test it under the webhooks link in the side menu, my end point receives the test data from Facebook. The data shown below is received by my server.
When I test using the lead ads testing tool I instantly get a 102, server error, and nothing is received by my server. See below for the message.
I've spent so long getting to this stage and every step has been painful!
Can anyone suggest why using the lead ads testing tool results in an error and what I can do to resolve the issue.
Cheers
I've been struggling with this too.. Apparently you can't use it on development apps anymore. Found the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57397525/8439792
I think I found your problem! It is when you subscribe to your apps. Here is the link that shows the subscribed_fields and scope should be:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/54713182/7313872
I was going straight from the demo and the subscribed_fields is set to 'feeds' and the scope was only manage_pages. You need to change it like in the example in the above link. I will also provide the snippets I changed below:
subscribed_fields - in subscribe apps function
FB.api(
'/' + page_id + '/subscribed_apps',
'post',
{access_token: page_access_token, subscribed_fields: 'leadgen'},
function(response) {
console.log('Successfully subscribed page', response);
}
);
scope - end of facebook login function
{scope: ['manage_pages', 'leads_retrieval']});
Hope this helps!
Facebook had the problem in their startup documentation for the webhooks. I have notified them in a bug, and does look like they have fixed the documentation to now subscribe to "leadgen" and not "feeds".

So I am building a restaurant app and one of the features I want is to allow a user of the app to see photos from a particular restaurant's Instagram account.
And I want a user to be able to see this without having to login to their Instagram account, so they shouldn't even need an Instagram account for this to work.
So I have read this answer How can I get a user's media from Instagram without authenticating as a user?
And I tried what it said and used the client_id(which I recieved when I registered my app using my personal Instagram account), but I still get an error back saying :
{
meta: {
error_type: "OAuthAccessTokenException",
code: 400,
error_message: "The access_token provided is invalid."
}
}
The endpoint I am trying to hit is :
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/search?q=[USERNAME]&client_id=[CLIENT ID]
So do I absolutely need an access token for this to work(and thus have to enforce a user to log in) ?
If I do, then is there way to generate an access token somehow without forcing the user log in?
I believe there is a way around this, as the popular dating app Tinder has this desired functionality I am looking for, as it allows you to see photos from people's Instagram account without having to log in! (I have just verified this 5 minutes ago!)
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit April 2018: After facebook privacy case this endpoint is immediately put out of service. It seems we need to parse the JSON embedded in <script> tag directly within the profile page:
<script type="text/javascript">window._sharedData = {"activity_counts":...
Any better ideas are welcome.
You can use the most recent link
GET https://www.instagram.com/{username}/?__a=1
to get latest 20 posts in JSON format. Hope you put this to good use.
edit: other ways aren't valid anymore:
https://www.instagram.com/{username}/media/
Instagram used to allow most API requests with just client_id and without access_token, the apps registered back in the day still work with way, thats how some apps are able to show instagram photos without user login.
Instagram has changes the API specification, so new apps will have to get access_token, older apps will have to change before June 2016.
One way you can work around this is by using access_token generated by your account to access photos. Login locally and get access_token, use this for all API calls, it should not change, unless u change password,if it expires, regenerate and update in your server.
Since the endpoints don't exist anymore I switched to a PHP library -
https://github.com/pgrimaud/instagram-user-feed
Installed this lib with composer:
composer require pgrimaud/instagram-user-feed "^4.0"
To get a feed object -
$cache = new Instagram\Storage\CacheManager();
$api = new Instagram\Api($cache);
$api->setUserName('myvetbox');
$feed = $api->getFeed();
Example of how to use that object -
foreach ($feed->medias as $key => $value) {
echo '<li><img src="'.$value->thumbnailSrc.'"></li>';
}
I am currently developing an app with which visitors of an event can take pictures using a webcam and upload them to Facebook using an AS3-application. I know I can connect to Facebook, because I can log the user out using the API and I can get all the information. The problem is that I can't post to their wall for some reason. I keep getting the following error:
error #2032: stream error. url: https://graph.facebook.com/********/feed
I use the following code to post to Facebook:
private function postFB(e:Event=null):void {
var _params:Object = new Object();
_params.uid = Facebook.getAuthResponse().uid;
_params.access_token = Facebook.getAuthResponse().accessToken;
_params.message = "I was at the Thanksgiving Day Event.";
//_params.picture = _bitmap;
Facebook.api("/me/feed", postComplete, _params, "POST");
}
As I've said before, I know I am connected to facebook because if I change "POST" to "GET" in my api-call, I get all the information of my account. I have the correct permissions as far as I know (read_stream, publish_stream, user_photos). I use GraphAPI_Web_1_8_1.swc as an api.
The documentation on the entire api is very poor, so I am trying to figure out the problem. It's been a few years since I've tried any of this, so my code has probably aged too far by now. So, any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
publish_stream is deprecated (since years?), you need to use publish_actions.
If that does not work, make sure the Access Token includes all the permissions, you can test this in the Debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
Side note: AS3 is not getting used very often anymore, the last version of the the AS3 SDK is from 2011. It may be a good idea to switch to the JavaScript SDK.
I am developing a facebook game in Unity3d using facebook's new facebook sdk, running the app as a web app inside facebook in sandbox mode.
Today I started implementing a shop in the game for microtransactions using their canvas pay model. I read their documentation and javascript tutorial for payments (they don't have one yet for unity) and created a simple button that when you click you are able to buy some ingame currency(coins).
Now my open graph og:product is tested and looks accurate and my c# code in unity is this:
public void onCoinsClicked()
{
FB.Canvas.Pay(
product: "my_url/products/coin.html",
action: "purchaseitem",
quantity: 1,
testCurrency:"EUR",
callback: delegate(FBResult response) {
FbDebug.Log("The result of the purchase is: " + response.Text);
});
FbDebug.Log("onCoinsClicked: ");
}
When i test it using a payments tester user that i have, it throws the following error when displaying the payment popup:
An error occurred. Please try again later.
API Error Code: 1383008
API Error Description: The app you're using isn't responding. Please try again. If you keep seeing this error, try again in a few hours.
If some of you kind people have experienced this before please enlighten me :)
Thank you.
Have you run your product's URL through the Open Graph Debugger (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug)? It's possible that a crawler error is causing the issue, and it would be good to make sure that the problem isn't at the data level.
I was wondering if somebody can help me to solve this problem. I am trying to use FB.AppRequest() in Facebook SDK for Unity to implement an Invite feature . This is the code which I use.
if(FB.IsLoggedIn)
{
FB.AppRequest(
message: "Let's eat and be prosperous!",
title: "Let's eat and be prosperous!",
callback: InviteCallback
);
}
// ...
void InviteCallback(FBResult response)
{
// print response to console
}
The invitation dialog which I get can be seen here (link to Imgur). There is no "Invite" label on those buttons, and unsurprisingly, clicking them does not send any invitation. However, I can see the FBResult data, which is in the following format:
{
"request": "ABCD",
"to":
[
"EFGH",
"IJKL"
]
}
(more or less, since I haven't found a way to print new lines to Firebug console)
Additional information:
The result is the same regardless of the Sandbox setting.
The Unity version is 4.3.0f4
The Facebook SDK for Unity version is 4.3.4
The binary is hosted on an intranet server.
The Invite functionality in the Friend Smash example, hosted on the same server, doesn't work either. However, this is before the latest Friend Smash update (11/11/2013), whose Facebook functionalities I can't get to work yet.
Other Facebook functionalities (e.g. Init, Feed, API) work well.
I can't find any information about this on the internet. There are other questions about the Invite feature not working, but without the Facebook SDK for Unity, so I am not sure how they can be helpful to me.
Thanks a lot!
Just to clarify: the envelope button sends the invite, and it does so immediately when it is clicked.
If your app is in sandbox mode, people won't get notified when the request is sent. Look for the request in https://www.facebook.com/appcenter/requests as the recipient and see if the request shows up there.
If this still doesn't work, can you send me your fbresult data? unity-sdk#fb.com. thanks!
