Trying to retrieve friends on smart (auto-generated) friendlists via the API, but it is returning no data.
Via graph explorer: /<friendlist id>?fields=members
If this is a custom list (not auto-generated) this returns:
{
"id": "<friendlist id>",
"members": {
"data": [
{
"id": "<friend id>",
"name": "<name>"
}
]
}
}
However, with auto-generated lists I seem to get just the id back and no members.
This seems to be a known bug for smart lists:

Hello everyone i'm building a chat bot, i'm having a problem that is, when a user sends a message to my app, i don't get the conversation id like "t_31231231231231", instead I get "mid", I don't know how to get the conversation from "mid", i tried to find the document but maybe I haven't found it yet. :(
{
"object": "page",

This might not be the ideal solution, but can serve as an improvisation. Since, you have the message_id you can fetch message to determine who the participants are, then you can match them with the participants in the conversations.participants.
What I did was to fetch all the conversations with their participants field.
i.e
curl -i -X GET \
"https://graph.facebook.com/v8.0/me/conversations?fields=participants&access_token=your-access-token-goes-here"
Which returns
{"data"=>
[{"participants"=>
{"data"=>
[{"name"=>"Masroor Hussain",
"email"=>"3275685679217538#facebook.com",
"id"=>"4275685679217538"},
{"name"=>"Testpage",
"email"=>"115083020351552#facebook.com",
"id"=>"115083020351552"}]},
"id"=>"t_781422919067688"}],

}
}
}
In the participants.data one participant is the page and the other is page_scoped_user. You can parse the response to match your participants and get the conversation id e.g here the conversation id would be "t_781422919067688"
A little late here but I had the same problem and actually found the solution in the Instagram API documentation. I tried it in the facebook graph api and it worked perfectly.
In the webhook event, you have the message ID and the sender ID. Using the sender ID, you can make a call to the Graph API (yes, still an additional API call) using the following endpoint:
/{page_id}/conversations?access_token={access_token}&user_id={user_id}
this will return only the conversation between your page and the specified user.
I'm currently building an experimental social network to study the influence of social medias on customers behaviors.
My users log in through Facebook OAuth provider. I store their access tokens and query the Open Graph API to fetch info about them.
I'm trying to use the all_mutual_friends edge for a given user context, using the access token of one of my users, but I found nowhere how to get the user-context-id that is required to get that info.
It is not the id of the user you want to retrieve the mutual friends from. I've tried that and got an error.
I've skimmed trough Open Graph docs and found nothing about that user-context-id.
How can I retrieve it?
Odly enough, the docs do not specify how to get the context id, but I managed to get it by digging a little.
This is how you would do to get the all_mutual_friends data:
GET /{user-id}?fields=context.fields%28all_mutual_friends%29&access_token={other-user-access-token}
Then, the context id would be given in the response.
{
"context": {
"all_mutual_friends": {
"data": [
{
"id": "1381033095543871",
"name": "Dave Amiaaehjighi Putnamwitz",
"token": <user token>,
"picture": {
"data": {
"is_silhouette": true,
"url": "https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-1/c15.0.50.50/p50x50/10354686_10150004552801856_220367501106153455_n.jpg?oh=82c2ce067f9c7f2c0a66d1efb16730e7&oe=5670F72F&__gda__=1450287355_17925d7381c8da5663c2349483f4b032"
}
}
}
],
"paging": {
"cursors": {
"before": "MTM4MTAzMzA5NTU0Mzg3MQZDZD",
"after": "MTM4MTAzMzA5NTU0Mzg3MQZDZD"
}
},
"summary": {
"total_count": 1
}
},
"id": <Context id>
},
"id": "1375274282788732",
}
That context id could then be used for
GET /{user-context-id}/all_mutual_friends/
But this step is pretty useless since we get the data in the first query.
Would be nice if Facebook updated their docs to reflect reality.
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.
Is there a way to get gender of facebook users via Facebook Graph API, that are attending some event? Or just by users' ids?
You can consume the events/attending endpoint:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/event/attending
Your request would be /{TheEventId}/attending
Which returns a list of user objects:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/user
...which looks like this:
{
"data": [
{
"name": "What What",
"rsvp_status": "attending",
"id": "10152412233197215"
},
{
"name": "What What",
"rsvp_status": "attending",
"id": "1682602711966379"
},
{
"name": "What What",
"rsvp_status": "attending",
"id": "10201675684423330"
}
]
You would then need to use the user id to query for each user's details. The user object has a gender field.
{
"id": "10142215948176947",
"gender": "male",
...
}
Also note the permission limitations:
gender & locale can only be accessed if:
The person queried is the person using the app.
The person queried is using the app, and is a friend of the person using the app.
The person queried is using the app, is not a friend of the person using the app, but the app includes either an app access token or
an appsecret_proof argument with the call
I have been working on a Facebook app for the last couple of weeks. I have successfully posted data to Facebook's Graph API but I have been struggling to get back specific fields. I am using the API explorer to test my various GET attempts. Here's an excerpt of the data that is returned with the api call: me/g_music:listen_to?fields=data
{
"data": [
{
"data": {
"song": {
"id": "355308601243965",
"url": "https://g8-music.herokuapp.com/object/song.php?title=Pierce+The+Veil+-+Bulls+in+the+Bronx&description=Played+On+G8-Music+for+Windows+8.&image=http%3A%2F%2Fuserserve-ak.last.fm%2Fserve%2F174s%2F78366946.jpg",
"type": "g_music:song",
"title": "Pierce The Veil - Bulls in the Bronx"
}
},
"id": "245964195537372"
},
{
"data": {
"song": {
"id": "365613963536278",
"url": "https://g8-music.herokuapp.com/object/song.php?title=Pierce+The+Veil+-+Kings+for+a+Day+%28feat.+Kellin+Quinn%29&description=Played+On+G8-Music+for+Windows+8.&image=http%3A%2F%2Fuserserve-ak.last.fm%2Fserve%2F174s%2F78366946.jpg",
"type": "g_music:song",
"title": "Pierce The Veil - Kings for a Day (feat. Kellin Quinn)"
}
},
"id": "245961632204295"
},
I am attempting to get the value of title but have been unsuccessful so far.
If I try something like: me/g_music:listen_to?fields=data.data... I receive an exception which tells me that "Subfields are not supported by data".
I am relatively new to the graph API so I'm most likely missing something obvious.
You are not missing anything. I verified this through the Graph API Explorer.
Subfields are not supported by data
But you have the whole data, simply fetch the title from the array.
