Is it possible to set the "privacy" for each video upload using the Graph API?
I have a little gallery that will display different videos from people. But at the moment, I can only display the Thumbnail and unable to view the video if I am not "friends" with the uploader.
FYI: I have set the "Default Activity Privacy" in the Facebook App setting in Auth Dialog to "Everyone".
Any inputs would be very helpful.
Thanks!
If you go to Account Settings >> Apps, and find your app, there is a settings called
Who can see posts this app makes for you on your Facebook profile?
While your Default Activity Privacy may be set to Everyone now, it's possible that when the user authorized the app, he changed the privacy mode. Or, maybe the user authorized your app with the default privacy before you changed the default.
via Facebook: "Where can I control my app privacy and settings?"
... never does Facebook say that an app can override a user's privacy setting. That's because it's not possible. If it were possible, it would seriously discourage people from using apps at all.
#Gil Birman answer is wrong.
Try add to http entity param with name privacy and value {"value":"SELF"}. As result, uploaded video have access: only me. Facebook support also other privacy.

I'm trying to import fb-login function and there are some features which need to be inspected by facebook such as job status, education, etc.
And they're saying that they requires privacy policy URL. So, I made a facebook page, which I will use as a landing page for my app, and wrote down the Privacy Policy to the Note.
After that, I copied the note's url and pasted it to the Privacy Policy URL box. I tried to save and proceed, but than error message comes up,
Facebook URL: Facebook URL cannot be crawled
So, my question is this: Is it unavailable to use facebook page to submit the privacy policy URL? This is my first time importing fb-login, so I just don't know what should I do and what shouldn't I do.
This should work ( Kind of a trick to fool FB ;) )
Create a free privacy policy here.
Upload your privacy policy (the one you just created) to your google drive account.
Select the uploaded privacy policy file and click on Get Shareable link. Copy and paste the generated link into your facebook app's Privacy Policy URL input box and click on save changes.
Thanks ☺️
This is likely the problem.
After that, I copied the note's url and pasted it to the Privacy
Policy URL box. I tried to save and proceed, but than error message
comes up, 'Facebook URL: Facebook URL cannot be crawled'
Instead of using a Facebook note, you're likely required to host that privacy policy yourself publicly. Given that Facebook can be a silo and hide pages whenever they like from the public web, you'd be well advised to move it to a site of yours.
This also seems to be Facebook's requirement:
Provide a publicly available and easily accessible privacy policy that
explains what data you are collecting and how you will use that data.
You may use Account Information in accordance with your privacy policy
and other Facebook policies. All other data may only be used outside
your app after you have obtained explicit user consent.
Include your privacy policy URL in the App Dashboard.
Link to your privacy policy in any app marketplace that allows you to.
Comply with your privacy policy.
How can you do that?
There are a few options:
host on your own site
host on sites that allow to create public and persistent pages (just a thought, github?)
use a dedicated tool for privacy policy creation and hosting like iubenda
Hope this helps (p.s. I work for iubenda)
Facebook has provided a link to test your URL which will show you that your URL is as per their standard or not.
Test your URL here:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/
Working
go to this link https://developers.facebook.com/apps
then click Basic tab setting
scroll down till you see +add platform tab and click it
remove all allowed platform link android web....NB makes sure you have the details saved somewhere else ..like on notepad
then go to top and switch the mode from off to live.
your app will be live
then go down again to add platform and add your plaform like android or web
The URL to your Privacy Policy must be public and accessible. That's both a requirement from Facebook and law (see California Business Code and CalOPPA in the US). Here's Facebook Developer Policy:
If you received the Facebook URL: Facebook URL cannot be crawled try to also not block bots access to the Privacy Policy page, i.e. Facebook Link Preview could crawl it or Google bot.
Some of the previous suggestions are not for free as for now. One of the free options I found:
https://www.iubenda.com/en/start-generating
Be sure to select Facebook app, NOT Mobile app, and click "Start Generating"
For those looking for a free solution, I used https://www.termsfeed.com/privacy-policy-generator/ and it was validated in the Meta API in less than 2 minutes.
This site will offer a paid professional solution, but the free one worked like a charm.
Don't worry about hosting. the site gives you a hosted url
Go to Dashboard, Click on the Application
Go to Settings --> Basic at Sidebar
Remove apps if there is any under Add platform
Add policy URL and Turn the status to LIVE
and then you can add apps of your choice for live apps
Is it possible to submit my 3D WebGL HTML5 / Facebook Canvas app to the App Center, even though it does not use the Facebook API? It isn't integrated with Facebook in any way, other than, being embedded in..
https://apps.facebook.com/flappy-wheels/
..from a Dropbox-hosted URL, if that even counts as a technical "Facebook integration" - which I doubt, as no API usage or Facebook signup or login required to even play it.
I keep on trying to submit it for App Center review but it insists to think I'm using the FB API when I'm not. Does this mean usage of the FB API is absolutely required for App Center submission? What if I dont want my app logging in to people's Facebook accounts? What if I don't want it accessing their personal information, or posting for them, or any of that jank? What if I just want it to be a game to simply be played embedded in a FB app URL, with no actual FB integration or interaction? Can that not be put on the App Center?
It thinks I need 3 permissions, one of which is logging in to people's accounts, I think these 3 permissions are put there in settings by default, how do I removed those permissions from my app settings, as those permissions listed aren't being used in my game, as it isn't using any FB permissions?
A smaller question on the side, what is the "tagline"? Like, it is the keywords / searchable tags, right? I'm used to them being called just "tags" and not a "tagline" so just to be sure I know what it is.
Thank you so much for any help or suggestions!
Yes you can always submit the html5 game on facebook canvas but for App Centre listing its necessary. Also using dropbox, github hosted sited will have less server resources allocted to them and hence high load time - i recommend to use any other hosting services out their, but remember https is a must.
Tagline is like a punch line for any product just go on the same theme.
Earlier today I noticed a friend shared a Viddy video which made me curious. When I clicked on the share link I immediately got an authorization request dialog with custom text on the "next/login" button (Watch the movie). The URL for this share which triggered the behavior was this:
http://www.facebook.com/
connect/
uiserver.php?
app_id=125119214225766
method=permissions.request
redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.viddy.com%2Fvideo%2F2f44f934-bc2f-419f-b462-c46f261744ee
response_type=code
display=async
perms=email%2Cpublish_actions
auth_referral=1
fb_private_mode_enc=ASJbi0_rc8L9GhOWGzXF1eZQgqGW6WhIquDadvKiRi8uZRozkFn937vhtfsR_Krg8iM
I've looked around trying to find this feature documented. How am I suppose to generate such share URLs? I found some documentation on fbdevwiki.com, but that does not cover most of the arguments. If anyone could guide me to some documents I'd be very grateful.
That's an app using Authenticated Referrals so that users are prompted to grant permission directly on Facebook's chrome instead of landing on your app unauthenticated, and then bounced to an auth dialog and back to the app again.
The 'watch video' text in the auth dialog is because this app is publishing 'watch' actions in the Open Graph API
{edit} it appears the 'watch video' link is only shown for preselected partners and isn't available for all video apps
{/edit}
The generated url you see is generated by the app, you can achieve this by creating your own app and giving it the permission.
You can start by going to Facebook Developer
I need to post a user-specific text, determined by him, on his wall/timeline when he presses a button (in facebook's tutorial, they make the user login when the app launches, and then it does nothing).
There is a lot of information on the internet but every site does it in other way.
Just wanted to know if there's a specific way to do it.
Thanks!
A quick easy way to add facebook to your app is ShareKit (http://www.getsharekit.com/). This also allows you to add other social network site to your app.
You might want to try Socialize: http://www.GetSocialize.com. It'll allow app users to comment & like within the app, with the option of also sharing out to a social network (Facebook currently live; Twitter coming). Full feature list at http://go.GetSocialize.com/features

I have a button in my iOS app to share the currently viewed content on facebook. I'm deciding on the permissions needed for the app, it only needs to write links to the stream, and I don't want to access any of the user information, including the Basic Information, that seems enabled by default. How do I disable this?
You can't, connecting through Facebook Connect implies the user allows you're app to access minimal informations
