I wanted to publish a link on the given profile on Facebook via the app. Post to https://graph.facebook.com/PROFILE_ID/links with access_token and other necessary parameters.
For testing purpose, I got the access_token with Graph API Explorer and had the publish_stream and share_item extended permission.
Then I got the error
{
"error": {
"message": "An access token is required to request this resource.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 104
}
}
I tried fb_id and fb_username for the PROFILE_ID but got the same error. Anything wrong?
Thanks
Yes. /links is read only. To create a link, you need to POST to /USER_ID/feed.

I am testing the facebook graph API comments
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.12/object/comments
I checked my permission for the access token it contains the permission, which required by API. see the screenshot
I test my object-id (1797963943566411_1975256375837166) which is correct see me screenshot
Change the request method to POST and adding post data {"message": "haha"}
I get the error message shows:
"(#3) Publishing comments through the API is only available for page access tokens" see my screenshot
As you can see the first step checking, I have all the permission that the
API required.
Can any one see any sort of error in this process?
Try another way still not work.
I have a user who post a photo on his own facebook page.
I logged in with this user and give this user all permissions see the screenshot
enter image description here
call /me/accounts to get page access token
enter image description here
copy the page access token into the Graph API Explorer's access token field
call
GET: 1797963943566411_1975256375837166/likes
is working fine
But call POST: 1797963943566411_1975256375837166/likes
Get error response:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#200) Permissions error",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200,
"fbtrace_id": "GtEaBfyXrUD"
}
}
The reason is Facebook changed the API behaviour. We are no longer to use api to like any POST on our time line. API can only like or comments on facebook page. Sad face !!!!
When I try to use the already generated access token, on this https://graph.facebook.com/4921782178422?fields=id&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN, it gives me this in response:
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request. Object with ID '4921782178422' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100,
"fbtrace_id": "F2ot2MGcBBM"
}
}
Facebook writes that all access tokens have permissions to public_profile, but i can't use the link above.
4921782178422 is a user id.
It works fine, when I use my own user access token, but that's only valid for 1 hour, and I need it longer than that.
I have followed these steps:
facebook: permanent Page Access Token?
What do I do wrong?
I'm trying to make a GET request from the Facebook Graph API, graph.facebook.com (using Postman, a Chrome application) to get all events containing the key word as below:
graph.facebook.com/v2.8/search?pretty=0&q=<MY_CITY>&type=event&accessToken=<MY_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN>
I'm having this response from Facebook:
{
"error": {
"message": "An access token is required to request this resource.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 104,
"fbtrace_id": "B5KWVqr7ajK"
}
}
I've rechecked my app_access_Token, and it's fine and works for other requests. How can I fix this problem?
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api/#search:
All Graph API search queries require an access token included in the request. You need a user access token to execute a search.
I want to get a user status messages using the Facebook graph API. I have created an APP and with the help of APP ID/APP Secret code, I can get the access token and then get the posts by the user successfully with the following URL:
https://graph.facebook.com/USERID?fields=posts&access_token=XXX
But, I can not get the status message of the user. I am trying following:
https://graph.facebook.com/USERID/statuses?access_token=XXX
I get the following error:
{
"error": {
"message": "A user access token is required to request this resource.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 102
}
}
How can I get the status message of the user? Thanks.
Read out the error message clearly:
It says you are not passing the access_token properly.
https://graph.facebook.com/**UserID**/statuses?access_token=**PASS_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE**
I hope your token have 'user_status' and 'friend_status' permissions.
Hope it helps.
Is it possible to retrieve Facebook page statuses using an app access token?
According to the documentation I could use "any valid access_token or user access_token" but when I try to use the application access token I'm getting the following message: "A user access token is required to request this resource.". Am I generating the app access token in a wrong way? Is there anyway to access the statuses of a public Facebook fan page without a user?
It seems that a user access_token is required to query this connection.
Tried without any access_token in the Graph API Explorer on redbull page and the result was:
{
"error": {
"message": "An access token is required to request this resource.",
"type": "OAuthException"
}
}
But after providing an app access_token:
{
"error": {
"message": "A user access token is required to request this resource.",
"type": "OAuthException"
}
}
This is a bit misleading!
Don't know if your still facing this issue. But here's a workaround :
By asking the graph API, you have this issue, but by using the FQL langage, it works perfectly with an App ID!
Here's an example for the 'PSG' page :
https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=SELECT post_id, type, attachment, message FROM stream WHERE source_id IN(SELECT page_id from page where username='PSG')&access_token=YOUR_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN
