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.

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 !!!!
I went to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET, set up there ID of my Facebook page, set up there the correct permission for posting statuses on my FB timeline and generated access token.
Then I wanted to extend this short-live token on the long-term (60 days long valid token). So I did following - I put this URL to the browser:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=APP_ID_OF_MY_FB_APP&client_secret=SECRET_ID_OF_MY_APP&grant_type=fb_exchange_token&fb_exchange_token=GENERATED_ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_THE_FIRST_STEP
and in the browser I saw this error message:
{
"error": {
"message": "The access token does not belong to application APP_ID_OF_MY_FB_APP",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 1
}
}
Which is weird, because the APP_ID of my Facebook app is correct, I've tried to post on the wall of the Facebook page and it was working.
But when I try to get extended access token, I am getting the error above.
What's wrong with the access?
Thank you
This almost certainly means what the error says, which is that GENERATED_ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_THE_FIRST_STEP is not actually from the app ID that you're using in the APP_ID_OF_MY_FB_APP parameter
Check the access token you're trying to extend in Facebook's Debug Tooland ensure it was actually generated for your app
Your AppID param is not the same to the AppID in developers.facebook.com
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 calling the graph API with an App Access token (grant_type=client_credentials) to search for places on facebook. Quering for
https://graph.facebook.com/search?type=place¢er=50.785361,6.0334127
Used return the search result reliably but suddenly stopped working with the following error:
{
"error": {
"message": "An unknown error has occurred.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 1
}
}
I have tested the call on the Graph API Explorer. With my facebook user's access token the request still returns the desired data. Other requests with this app access token still work, so the token is good.
Any ideas?
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
