According to the specification here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/pagetab/ I want to autorize user with the server-side flow on page tab. I use PHP-SDK.
My redirect_uri parameter is build like that:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/null/PAGE_ID/app_YOUR_APP_ID
and I keep getting:
API Error Code: 191
API Error Description: The specified URL is not owned by the application
I was trying many different settings combinations. Now I have filled fields: App Domains,Site URL,Canvas URL,Secure Canvas URL,Page Tab URL,Secure Page Tab URL but still without success. Addresses are ending with / and are all the same.
Link are build proper by the sdk. I test building it "by hand" without encoding of redirect_uri param and redirect link build like that:
https://www.facebook.com/PAGE_USERNAME/app_YOUR_APP_ID
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Page_Title/PAGE_ID?sk=app_YOUR_APP_ID
Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
The answer to that question is that facebook documentation is incorrect. Format of return_uri that worked is:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/null/PAGE_ID?sk=app_YOUR_APP_ID
The format of return_uri changed again, the new format is:
https://www.facebook.com/PAGE_NAME?sk=app_YOUR_APP_ID

I have a JavaEE Application. I am trying to implement OAuth.
But I am facing some strange issues:
As per the documentation to manually building the sign in web flow I have to provide a link like this https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=1231298371123&display=popup&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Fc%2Fportal%2Fauth%2Ffacebook_login%3F&scope=email,public_profile,user_birthday&response_type=code%20token which will open the dialog. But the dialog is not opening.
And when the SSO is successful FB is redirecting to the url given above but the problem is FB is appending the query strings like state, code, etc with #. Something like: http://localhost:8080/c/portal/auth/facebook_login?#state=ASDASDASDASD&access_token=EAANXZAlBTi........ Because for this I cannot get the parameters in Java.
Do any one came across this kind of issue.
Please help.
Not sure if I understood the question right but if you want to read the string after # you can use the following code
URI uri = new URI("http://test.com/#something=some");
String fragment = uri.getFragment();
fragment will be everything after #
I am working on an app where I have to use Yahoo account to login.
I had gone through this link and followed the procedure as it was there.But I am unable to get back to my app after authentication.After googling I found an answer here.Here he said that "Add an URL Scheme in your info.plist file with the YOUR_APP_ID_OR_BUNDLE_ID" I did the same,but unable to redirect from yahoo to my app.If any one worked on this please help me.Thanks in advance.
This is what I had done in my URL Schemes
where JCzOzd44 is my app ID.
In yahoo account while creating the app.what should I give in "Application Domain"
I didn't work with the Yahoo! API yet, but in oauth it works like that:
Create an url scheme in your app. You can do that in the Info section of your project settings (URL types). Name the scheme whatever you want, for example your app id.
When you authenticate your app, you can pass a parameter named oauth_callback. Here you have to pass the name of the just created url scheme.
This should be it - when the login is ok on the Yahoo side, it will try to open the app that is registered for the url scheme it got as callback parameter.
UPDATE:
From the Yahoo! API documentation - this is the call you do when requesting the oauth token somewhere in your code (I filled in your url scheme as the callback, this is how it should look like):
https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/v2/
get_request_token?oauth_nonce=ce2130523f788f313f76314ed3965ea6
&oauth_timestamp=1202956957
&oauth_consumer_key=123456891011121314151617181920
&oauth_signature_method=plaintext
&oauth_signature=abcdef
&oauth_version=1.0
&xoauth_lang_pref="en-us"
&oauth_callback="JCzOzd44://"
Of course the request should be signed.
I have found the solution though with a little overheads.
Steps are: 1> Create a PHP script in you own server (say named, YRedirect.php).
2> Paste the following code in it-
CODE
<?php
$query = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header("Location: com-mycompany-myapp://oauth-response?" . $query);
>
Where "com-mycompany-myapp" is your bundle identifier
3> Add an URL Scheme in your info.plist file with the YOUR_APP_ID_OR_BUNDLE_ID. That's it and you are DONE with the authentication problem.
In your code
[self.session sendUserToAuthorizationWithCallbackUrl:#"http://yourdomain.com/YRedirect.php"];
Then, register a custom URL scheme for your iPhone application from your Info.plist file, and then setup your server side script to redirect Safari back to your application via the URL scheme you just set up.
Thanks for this valuable information. Following your instructions I got the auth & call back working and the php page loads the app.
I am at this step in getting my app started in the documentation:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/tutorial/#auth
In there is a code block that (supposedly) forwards the user to a request dialog asking permission to access certain bit of information about them. I've placed this code block into the PHP script that my canvas URL points to, and changed the $app_id and $canvas_page to my application ID and canvas URL respectively. Instead of getting the expected dialog, I receive this following error from facebook:
"An error occurred. Please try again later."
No other details about the error are present. I've tried some variations of the script, and have even tried loading up this URL directly just to see if that would work. Note that I've replaced YOUR_APP_ID and YOUR_CANVAS_PAGE with the appropriate values and made sure that spelling and/or punctuation are correct:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_CANVAS_PAGE&scope=email,read_stream
For the redirect URL, I've tried prepending it with http://, https://, and no prefix at all. All with the same result.
My question: is the example in the documentation broken, or is the oauth link provided in the documentation currently down? The vague nature of the error is somewhat frustrating since I can't tell if it's something I'm doing wrong or if it's facebook's oauth function that's at fault.
So, the problem was that instead of using the numeric application ID that facebook assigned for me when I originally created the app as the YOUR_APP_ID parameter in the OAuth URL, I was using the application namespace string. Facebook didn't understand this sort of request, and returned the generic error message.
Once I used the numeric app ID, the OAuth dialog popped up to ask permission to access my account, as expected.
Guys here is my configuration for my facebook app, please tell me if I'm missing anything:
Basic Info-------------
App Namespace: footygo
App Domain: footygo.com
Website----------------
Site URL: http://www.footygo.com
App on Facebook-------
Canvas URL: http://www.footygo.com/canvas/
Secure Canvas URL: https://www.footygo.com/canvas/
Canvas Page: http://apps.facebook.com/footygo
My application contains a folder named Canvas/ which contains all the facebook pages. The Canvas folder contains two files at the moment, namely: Default.aspx and Setup.aspx
Within my web.config file, I have set the following information:
PostAuthorizeRedirectURL="Setup.aspx"
I also tried varying with PostAuthorizeRedirectURL="Canvas/Setup.aspx" to no avail.
I am consistently getting the following error message:
API Error Code: 191
API Error Description: The specified URL is not owned by the application
Error Message: redirect_uri is not owned by the application.
What is the issue? Do you guys have any ideas? This is my first facebook app, and it's not working out as I thought it would :(
Thank you for your time and patience, and sorry if this question has already been posted numerous times. I went through most (but not all) of the 191 error questions but couldn't find anything of value.
Please let me know if you have any idea about what's going on. My release date is less than 24 hours away!
Humble Regards,
Rowan R.
You need to use the full URL. The redirect_uri must be within the same domain name as what is listed in the settings in Facebook.
PostAuthorizeRedirectURL="http://www.footygo.com/canvas/Setup.aspx"
Thanks for your reply Adam!
However I figured out what was wrong and got it to work! It wasn't the PostAuthorizeRedirectURL, it was actually the URL I was using to access my app!
I was accessing my app using https://apps.facebook.com/xxxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is my app's id. That did not work (at first). I then tried accessing my app using it's app name, i.e. https://apps.facebook.com/xyz and it worked!
All I can say is... the facebook platform sucks.
I get two errors when I integrate FB with my site:
API Error Code: 191
API Error Description: The
specified URL is not owned by the
application
Error Message: redirect_uri is not
owned by the application.
In the address bar in the FB popup.. the api key and app id values are the same.
These errors don't ever happen together - it is either 1 or 2 never both.
what are you trying to do and in which language ?
the second error can be fixed by editing the site_url with the proper on which matches your website url in website tab in the developer dashboard of your application .
The redirect URL isn't on the same host that you provided when you registered your application. It has to be the same host - hostname.domainname.com. Any path or file under that is fine, but the host must match your app's settings on Facebook.
You probably didn't set the Site URL in your facebook application settings (edit your app->Website->Site URL) to the URL of your site.
