I'm trying to get this to work: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/465/
Step 1: I'm getting an access token:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?type=client_cred&client_id=myAppIdclient_secret=myAppSecret
Step 2: I'm posting via curl
curl -F 'access_token=myAccessToken' -F 'message=Hello World!' -F 'id=http://example.com' https://graph.facebook.com/feed
Where myUrl is say http://example.com
I am getting this error, does not resolve to a valid user ID:
{"error":{"message":"(#100) http:\/\/example does not resolve to a valid user ID","type":"OAuthException","code":100}}
Step 3: If I first post my url to the linter, and get its ID:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com
https://graph.facebook.com/10150096126766188
curl -F 'access_token=myAccessToken' -F 'message=Hello World!' -F 'id=10150096126766188' https://graph.facebook.com/feed
Then I get 'The user hasn't authorized the application to perform this action' error:
{"error":{"message":"(#200) The user hasn't authorized the application to perform this action","type":"OAuthException","code":200}}
From the Facebook Graph API docs:
Most write operations require extended permissions[1] for the active user.
See the authentication guide[2] for details on how you can request extended
permissions from the user during the authentication step.
1 https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions
2 https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/
Going by the blog post this is done via an app, for this to work the app needs the extended permissions 'publish_actions' and 'publish_stream' in order to make posts/comments/likes/links

I am sending a request to the Facebook device/login API via curl using a shell script as documented in the Facebook Login for Devices page:
curl -i -X POST https://graph.facebook.com/v14.0/device/login -F 'access_token=${app_id}|${client_token}' -F 'scope=ads_management,business_management,instagram_basic,instagram_content_publish,pages_read_engagement,pages_show_list,public_profile'
(The app_id and client_token are properly filled in.)
I get back the response such as
{
"code": "f4ee7axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxec4b8e28eb",
"user_code": "PXXXXXXQ",
"verification_uri": "https://www.facebook.com/device",
"expires_in": 420,
"interval": 5
}
In my browser, I open a fresh private page and go to https://www.facebook.com/device, log in, and enter the user_code (e.g. PXXXXXXQ), and it completes successfully.
I then "poll" device/login_status via this curl command:
curl -i -X POST https://graph.facebook.com/v14.0/device/login_status -F 'access_token=${app_id}|${client_token}' -F 'code=f4ee7axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxec4b8e28eb'
and get back a response with an access token:
{
"access_token": "EAAKxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxuuu",
"data_access_expiration_time": 1663078272,
"expires_in": 5183984
}
I then put the access token into the Access Token Debugger and find that it only has the two basic permissions of pages_show_list and public_profile. The other permissions are not granted.
I'm assuming I do not have my app configured properly. So far, the Facebook support has punted on the question so I'm turning here for help. I have "Enable Login for Devices" as the API page says in Step 1. I have "Facebook Login", "App Events", and "Instagram Basic Display" in my "Products" list. I don't see any warnings or flags on any of the app's pages. My "Test User" is a real Facebook user listed as in a Tester roll in the app.
Ultimately I want to use the Instagram media API. As a simpler test of the access token, I was trying to use the {page_id}?fields=instagram_business_account as a test and it wasn't working. Some pages suggest disconnecting and reconnecting the Instagram user and other things but I think the problem originates with the access token not having sufficient permissions.
I have also tried just requesting the permissions needed for the {page_id} and got the same results.
What changes do I need to make to get an access token via the device/login API that has more than just pages_show_list and public_profile permissions?
I am trying to access Instagram Ad comments using Facebook Marketing API. But When I try the following command:
curl -G \
-d "access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>"\
-d "fields=id,message,instagram_user"\
"https://graph.facebook.com/<API_VERSION>/<EFFECTIVE_INSTAGRAM_STORY_ID>/comments"
I receive this error:
{'error': {'message': '(#10) Application does not have permission for this action', 'fbtrace_id': '', 'code': 10, 'type': 'OAuthException'}}
I am able to get the ads, their creatives but not the comments.
I used to be able to do the same a few months back. I am not sure what has changed. I do the same with Python but it is same as curl so in case someone do need to see it I can share it.
Here are the permissions that my app requests(it has development access and I am admin of both the ad account and the app):
Permissions
email
ads_read
ads_management
business_management
instagram_manage_comments
I'm testing Facebook Ad Manager API from commandline curl.
To get the access token, I did this API call:
curl \
-F "client_id=$APP_ID" \
-F "client_secret=$APP_SECRET" \
-F "grant_type=client_credentials" \
https://graph.facebook.com/$API_VERSION/oauth/access_token
It returned successfully.
But then, when making this call to create a new campaign:
curl "https://graph.facebook.com/$API_VERSION/act_$ACCOUNT_ID/campaigns?name=$CAMPAIGN_NAME&objective=VIDEO_VIEWS&status=PAUSED&access_token=$ACCESS_TOKEN"
I always get an error:
(#10) You do not have sufficient permissions to perform this action
I guess that it must be caused because I did not granted the right permissions to the App. It is just a test app and I cannot find how to grant these permissions.
Thankyou very much for your help.
You ask for permissions with the scope parameter. It is a comma separated list of permissions: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions
Permissions for ads are ads_read and ads_management.
Here´s more information about building a manual login flow: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/manually-build-a-login-flow
i want to post daily note to facebook user profile which using my facebook application via it's own. how can i do it?
Since you didn't provide what language or what you've tried so far, these are quick tips to get you started:
Ask for the publish_stream permission
Then using your SDK or the technology you are using (source):
curl -F 'access_token=...' \
-F 'subject=This is a note' \
-F 'message=Test note.' \
https://graph.facebook.com/PROFILE_ID/notes
No need for the access_token parameter.
Okay.. i got the offline access session key
Can some please tell me how can i update my FB status using the offline access session key i have ?
Looked in the Graph API and PHP SDK but nothing helps
I assume when you say 'offline access session key' you mean the oauth access token.
Take a look at the 'Publishing to Facebook' section here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api#publishing
There is even a short example using curl:
curl -F 'access_token=...' \
-F 'body=Hello, Arjun. I like this new API.' \
