I am trying to register a Facebook open graph achievement for an app. I obtain the app access token and post the following request using open graph API explorer:
https://graph.facebook.com/752901688356092/achievements&achievement=https://googledrive.com/host/0B1R_JKMKJc2KbkNqZTdleEZvOUE/brags/fb_achive_100_words.html&display_order=100&access_token=752901688356092|pPwn52AvX-Pkj2n8Tavopew5Rav
(note that app ID an access token above are not the real ones). However, I get the following response:
{
"error": {
"message": "Unknown path components: /achievements&achievement=https://googledrive.com/host/0B1R_JKMKJc2KbkNqZTdleEZvOUE/brags/fb_achive_100_words.html&display_order=100&access_token=752901688356092|pPwn52AvX-Pkj2n8Tavopew5Rav",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 2500
}
}
I have registered the app as a games type app and I have verified the achievement URL using open graph debugger (it shows the achievement and reports everything is fine). I also tried the above without the app-ID included in the access token. What could I be missing?
You have an error in the way your URL is composed. The first GET parameter is supposed to be separated from the base URL by a ?, not a &. Try the following :
https://graph.facebook.com/752901688356092/achievements?achievement=https://googledrive.com/host/0B1R_JKMKJc2KbkNqZTdleEZvOUE/brags/fb_achive_100_words.html&display_order=100&access_token=752901688356092%7CpPwn52AvX-Pkj2n8Tavopew5Rav
This throws another error, but that might also be caused by a missing AUTH token. Why don't you have a look at how they suggest you do it? You probably need to check the setup of the achievement.

I was Unable to get the search result in Facebook Graph Api Explorer For Topic search API. I am getting the following error. I also have the access token included.
{
"error": {
"message": "(#15) This method must be called with an app access_token.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 15,
"fbtrace_id": "CJiZqVSATXu"
}
}
Well, the error message actually contains the problem. You're not using an App Access Token, but seemingly an User Access Token (from the Access Token structure in your screenshot).
You must select an app of yours in the upper right Applications dropdown, and then select Get App Token in the dropdown below.
Still, that will probably not help much in this case. Are you aware that only whitelisted apps can use the Topic Search API?

I am having some unusual errors while fetching some data for some users via graph API.
As for example w all know we can get basic user info via graph.facebook.com/username
And it works. But it is not working for some users. Like the user www.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum is a valid facebook user. So, we should get her basic info via graph.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum. But when you will try that, you will get the error
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request.",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100
}
}
And it is not a permission issue because use user herself gets the same error when she try to retrive her own data via graph API. Actually the user sanzida.tanzum is invisible to graph API. For example user sanzida.tanzum is on my friend list. You can check here. my friendlist.(it is public). But when I retrive my friendlist via graph API, my friendlist is shown excluding the user sanzida.tanzum ! But she is in my friendlist!
I have tried to contact facebook for this matter because I did not find any doccument related to this matter. They replied it is usual. (probably they did not read my mail at all. I am including the email conversation with facebook)
Hi তৌফিক,
They are getting errors because they are not you... they dont have
permissions to see the same things you do. They might also be missing
an access token. Either way: no bug here.
Thanks,

Authentication Vulnerability Scope: Platform Developer API Title:
Unusual bug in facebook graph API Product / URL:
https://graph.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum Description and Impact: I
was doing some graph API calls for testing purpose. Mostly I was doing
mostly user profile calls. (https://graph.facebook.com/exampleuser)
Somehow I realized facebook is giving following errors for some users
even they are on my friendlist. Same thing occurs when they try by
themselves.
As for eample the user "https://www.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum" is on
my friendlist. (My friendlist is public.You can check if you want.)
So, according to facebook graph API, I can request the user's basic
info using (https://graph.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum) But it returns
this error:
"{ "error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request.",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100 } }"
Actually graph API can't access nothing of this user. Another
example.. When I request my friendlist via graph API , All friends of
my friendlist is shown except the user (sanzida.tanzum). But she is in
my friendlist! check here (my friendlist is public)
"https://www.facebook.com/toufiqueimam/friends". So why is this
happening only for few users?
Just now I got confirmation that the user herself gets the same error
if she tries to access (https://graph.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum)
{ "error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request.",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100 } }
Reproduction Instructions / Proof of Concept: Reproduction: first go
to https://www.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum You will see it is a valid
profile. Now try https://graph.facebook.com/sanzida.tanzum You will
get following error
{ "error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request.",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100 } }
This isn't a bug, the error means that the data you're trying to access is not accessible to you, does not exist, has been deleted, is not available because you haven't provided an access token from a user who can see it, etc.
See this answer for an example of this error message in relation to Facebook pages: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6847088/21062 - the same is true when trying to access user profiles if that user has blocked you, blocked your app, disabled their account or disabled all apps from accessing their information.
Just an FYI, I ran into this problem, and it wasn't because the user had blocked all applications. In my scenario, my application was attempting to force-convert Facebook's 64 bit integers into a 53 bit JavaScript integer (Node application). It was mangling the value, so when I was making the Facebook GET Request later on in my application lifecycle, I was doing so with the mangled value, and Facebook was trying to tell me "Um, this UserId doesn't exist".
So in my application, I had to use the Node Big-integer add-on, along with the Mongoose mongoose-long plugin for my Mongodb.
Long story short, if you are converting the UserId to it's native 64 bit integer, don't do so unless the intger type in your application is at least 64 bits.
Yesterday I started a new app on Facebook. Today I got the message that when people copy the link to Twitter they get an error. This is what you get:
{
"error": {
"message": "Unknown path components: /your_namespace:your_action",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 2500
}
}
What does this mean? What could be the problem?
Are you actually sending the POST action link to Twitter? Why?
I think you misunderstood how Open Graph works. Basically, you should be the one publishing actions when users take an action using your service. You can use a server-side or a client-side language to POST request (when you click a link, your browser actually makes a GET request, not a POST) to https://graph.facebook.com/me/namespace:action?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN&OBJECT_PATH=OBJECT_URL
Note that you need to create an app, use it to authenticate users to get the access token and also set your custom actions / objects. These will need to be approved before you can actually use them.
You should start by taking a look at the sample apps to see how they work: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/samples/
I'm getting the following error when I try to access the Graph API with my access token:
{
"error": {
"message": "Expected 1 '.' in the input between the postcard and the payload",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 1
}
}
I'm grabbing the access token after successfully authenticating an app I'm working on. I have accepted the permissions and I'm hitting the app's landing page. The access token doesn't look like others I've seen online. It doesn't have the '|' character in it. It does have a period and some underscores along with the typical alphanumeric combination.
I figured out the problem. The other developer I was working with used part of the raw signed_request object (not parsed) to form the access token. After taken a gander at the documentation, I quickly realized that you need to parse the signed_request object first before obtaining the oauth_token value. After that was fixed, I was able to easily make an API call.
Check to ensure you are verifying the "code" parameter returned by Facebook before signing the request, not the "access token". Signing a request with a bad access token produced this error message for me.
i try to register an achievement for my game app thorough Graph API Explorer using a POST to https://graph.facebook.com/APP_ID/achievements with access_token =xxxxxx ,achievement = right url and display_order =1 but it throws the following error
{
"error": {
"message": "(#15) This method must be called with an app access_token.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 15
}
}
. i have checked the achievment url and my app access token in the object debugger and it gives right result. But still im getting the above when try to register my achievement. i have checked evrywhere i could to find a solution but didnt get any (although there where similar post which didnt a give solution). Any help will be much much appreciated as it really takes my lot of time figuring out a solution
Are you sure it's the app access token retrieved from the instructions at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/applications/ and not the user's access token?
If you're doing this with the Graph API Explorer instead of in code or manually, you need to replace the access token the Graph API explorer is using with the one you retrieved via those instructions
