Im trying to build a 'cheer action' for my app. It is a game in iPhone, so I want to post a 'welcome message' in the users wall (I will need 'public_stream' permission) and then invite his friends to visit my webpage.
Here my question.. I authenticate the user using:
_url = "http://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth/?client_id=" + app_id + "&redirect_uri=" + app_net_folder + auth_response_uri + "&state=" + session_id;
I get response in my uri, and then I get the access_token, user_id, etc.
Then I post a message in his wall in this way:
_url = "https://www.facebook.com/dialog/apprequests?app_id=" + app_id;
_url += "&message=" + string_ToUrl(String_ToHTML(request_msg));
Now I want to invite his friends (using a multi friend list dialog). To do it, I can only use JavaScript FB.ui. In this way:
FB.init({appId : app_id, logging : false, frictionlessRequests: true, oauth : true});
FB.ui({method: 'apprequests', message: msg, title: title}, requestCallback);
When I do it, a window is opened asking me again for the user's login.. but my user has been already authenthicated. So I dont know how to say to FB in JavaScript that my user has been alredy authenthicated! (I even have the access_token, but I don't know how to use it in JavaScript functions).
Someone knows what am I doing wrong? or how to do those two actions asking just one time for the user's login?
Thanks!!
if you are already log in, you can get login user id using below code
var userId = FB.Facebook.apiClient.get_session().uid;
if(userId > 0 || userId != '')
{
alert('user is already log in');
}
hope it's helpful to you

I can download user events but not user managed pages. Why? What is the difference?
Using react-facebook-login to get user access token
import FacebookLogin from "react-facebook-login";
Adding Facebook login to the screen, it has the pages_show_list permission:
<FacebookLogin
appId={fbAppId}
autoLoad={true}
fields="name,email,picture"
scope="public_profile,pages_show_list"
onClick={this.componentClicked}
callback={this.responseFacebook}
And here is the handler:
responseFacebook = response => {
this.setState({
accessToken: response.accessToken,
isLoggedIn: true,
userID: response.userID,
name: response.name,
email: response.email,
picture: response.picture.data.url
});
axios.get('https://graph.facebook.com/v5.0/me/accounts&access_token='+response.accessToken)
.then(response => {
console.log("aaa " + response);
console.log("bbb ");
})
};
Second breakpoint will not be reached.
But get a lot of strange error:
Facebook API Explorer returns the data
Code is here: https://gitlab.com/j4nos/ticket-portal/blob/master/src/App.js
But get a lot oof strange error:
Focus.
The main part of importance here is that it shows that you are getting a 400 Bad Request response from the API, with that URL you tried to request there.
https://graph.facebook.com/v5.0/me/accounts&access_token=...
How does the query string portion of a URL start again ...?
Question mark, not ampersand.
I have a new web app in development mode, and am trying to post to a users wall using something like this:
<fb:login-button scope="publish_pages" autologoutlink="true" onlogin="OnRequestPermission();">
</fb:login-button>
...
var params = {};
params['message'] = 'Message';
params['name'] = 'Name';
params['description'] = 'Description';
params['link'] = 'http://www.example.com';
params['picture'] = 'http://example.com/example.png';
params['caption'] = 'Caption';
FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', params, function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
console.log(response.error);
} else {
alert('Published to stream - you might want to delete it now!');
}
});
I am testing this after a successful login using the FB account defined in that app as admin, but am getting an OAuthException error:
"(#200) The user hasn't authorized the application to perform the action"
Do I need to send the app through review to get additional access even though we are in testing? Is there something else I missed here?
Thanks
You are using the wrong permission, you would need publish_actions to post to the user wall. publish_pages is for posting to a Page you own. You do not need to go through the review process for testing, all permissions work without review for users with a role in the App.
The new Facebook graph api has divided friends into Friends & Invitable_friends .
me/friends/ returns my friends who are using the app while me/invitable_friends/ returns only the list of my friends who are not using the app.
But in my app,a user may interact with random users too who may not be on his friend list.
So how do i get user data for those who are using the app but are not on my friend list.
Thanks.
I went through the same issue and solved it like that: when a user starts your app by default you ask for permission to access his public profile information, which includes real ID, name and some other. You simply store the user data (id, name, etc.)in a database. This way you keep track of all the people using your app and they can interact with each other.
JavaScript Example:
window.fbAsyncInit = function () {
FB._https = true;
console.log('here');
FB.init({ appId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', cookie: true, xfbml: true, oauth: true, version : 'v2.0'});
Login();
};
function Login() {
FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse){
checkUser();
}
else{
console.log('User cancelled login or did not fully authorize.');
}
}
);
}
function checkUser() {
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
$.ajax({
type: "get",
url: "cgi-bin/checkUser.cgi",
cache: false,
data: {"user_name" : response.name, "u_id" : response.id, "link" : response.link},
success: function() //onSuccess,
{
console.log("user " + response.name + " checked!");
},
error: function()
{
console.log("Error with server connection on user checking");
}
});
});
}
I don't know in what language you are writing the app but I believe that in every language you should call the "login" function, which asks the user for permissions and basically gets access to info.
To get details of users who are using the app but are not your friends,call the following
graph.facebook.com/v2.0/
?ids={comma-separated-ids}&access_token=app_access_token&fields=name,picture
access_token is a must else graph-api returns following error-
The global ID xyz is not allowed. Please use the application specific ID instead.
This will work for all users who have authenticated the app no matter their authentication date,but for any non-app user graph-api returns above error message.
I need to post on the wall of a user as if it were itself (offline token), but when logged in with another user. Example:
I login with user X. In some moment I want to post on the wall of the user Y as if he had posted (using offline token).
Ps:
I do not want this:
var wallPost = {
message : " My message",
};
FB.api('/USER_ID/feed', 'post', wallPost , function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
console.log("facebook error: " + response.error);
}
});
I need the post is in "FB.api ('/ME/feed', 'post', wallPost, function (response) {"
But this "ME" is not the logged user, but the user owns of the offline token.
You cannot do that with the Javascript API because the FB.api call will only use the access token for the currently logged in user. You will need to build a call directly to HTTP post the message to the https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed?access_token={the offline access token you have}
SOLUTION:
Just insert the acess_token in JSON parameter.
var wallPost = {
message : " My message",
access_token : "ACCESS_TOKEN_OFF_LINE_OF_THE_USER"
};
FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', wallPost , function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
console.log("facebook error: " + response.error);
}
});
with help of docs, tutorials and this forum I managed to create an event for the logged in user on his profile or page, as he chooses.
I also figured, that for inviting friends I'd have to use events.invite.
Since I don't want to invite all of the user's friends but several, I implemented a request, which as a result returns the selected friend's ids.
Those I'm using for the events.invite call. I get bool 1 as result (which means, the invitation was sent successfully) but there is no invitation to be seen in friends bookmarks or event page.
Everything besides invitation is working.
3 questions come up:
1) Does events.invite need additional permission besides 'create_event' ?
I tryed events.invite independently and couldn't get results either...
2) Is there a better way to select friends before sending invitation? I do not want app request being sent out each time an event is created.
3) If 2 is negative, how can the app request (and bookmark) be subdued or removed from friend's profile? Deleting the request via API obviously doesn't remove the message in application requests.
* in main script: [javascript]
function sendRequest() {
FB.ui({
method: 'apprequests',
message: 'Test',
title: 'event invitation for up to 20 friends',
max_recipients: 20,
},
function (response) {
if (response && response.request_ids) {
var requests = response.request_ids.join(',');
var invite_ids = new Ajax.Request('/facebook/handle_invitation.php', {
onSuccess: function(test) { alert('Done!'); },
method: 'post',
parameters: {tid: '<?php echo $target_id; ?>',
request_ids: requests,
eid:'<?php echo $event_id; ?>',
token: '<?php echo $access_token; ?>'}
});
} else {
alert('canceled');
}
});
return false;
}
* and in 'handle_invitation.php' (called from request response):
if( isset($_POST['request_ids']) && isset($_POST['uid']) ) {
$target_id = $_POST['tid'];
$event_id = $_POST['eid'];
$access_token = $_POST['token'];
$requests = explode(',',$_POST['request_ids']);
foreach($requests as $request_id) {
$request_data = $fb->api("/$request_id?$access_token");
$invite_id[] = $request_data['to']['id'];
$fb->api("/$request_id?$access_token", "DELETE");
}
//invite friends to my event
$return = $fb->api(array(
'method' => 'events.invite',
'eid' => $event_id,
'uids' => $invite_id,
'personal_message' =>"Einladung zu meinem Event"
));
}
Hope this was not too detailed. I'd appreciate any help, since after days of reading and experimenting I'm finally stuck at this point. Thx!
The graph api now allows you to invite users by user_id. See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/event/
invited
Create
You can invite users to an event by issuing an HTTP POST to /EVENT_ID/invited/USER_ID. You can invite multiple users by issuing an HTTP POST to /EVENT_ID/invited?users=USER_ID1,USER_ID2,USER_ID3. Both of these require the create_event permission and return true if the invite is successful.
I don't think "sent event invitation" is in the GRAPH API yet. It is available in REST API but its not working as we expect.
I found some known issues and limitations with facebook events. Please see the links below from the official documentation on facebook
Limitation on number of people that could be invited to an event.
