I want to extract the facebook updates messages using R, but I'm having some trouble. I tried following the tutorials given in http://www.brocktibert.com/blog/2012/01/19/358/ but I am getting the following error
$error$type
[1] "OAuthException"
$error$code
[1] 190
Is there another way to extract messages from facebook?
I don't use Facebook (by intent), and you did not provide example code, but this looks like an error with https:.
rcurl could do this (I am using it for similar stuff), and as
Sourcing R script over HTTPS
notes, --internet2 could also help.

I am trying to get post insights for a page feed using Facebook Graph API version 2.7 ..
If I only write:
'[Page ID]/feed?fields=insights'
It asks for metric, which indicates it should work... But when specifying a metric:
'[Page ID]/feed?fields=insights/post_impressions/lifetime'
I get syntax error.
I've tried with . notation as:
'[Page ID]/feed.insights/post_impressions/lifetime'
But stil no luck!
I know I can do it post by post (separate calls to API), but that is what I'm trying to avoid.
Anyone know what the correct syntax is for nested insights?
This bug report was able to shed some light: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/1755454881375647/
You can use the metric keyword to specify the metrics you want, like so:
/page-id/posts?fields=insights.metric(post_impressions,post_consumptions_unique)
Name the metrics you are interested in there, and separate them with a comma.
Specifying the period (where applicable) seems to work by the same kind of syntax,
/…?fields=insights.metric(…).period(lifetime)
(Although it might not work to request different periods for different metrics in one go.)
I tried to get Data from Facebook Page with the graph of Facebook but I have a problem.
When I try to go on link like:
https://graph.facebook.com/ID-PAGE?access_token=MY_ACCESS_TOKEN
I always do this to have the Data from a Page but since today I have the error Message: "An unknown error has occurred".
Thanks for help.
EDIT:
The bug is fixed : https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/486654544831076/?search_id
Have a look at my answer at
How to get user email and birthday from Facebook API Version v2.4
You have to specify each field you want to query now with v2.4. If you want to explicitly use v2.3, you need to prepend your calls by /v2.3 like this:
/v2.3/{page_id}?access_token=MY_ACCESS_TOKEN
Seems like there's currently a bug regarding requests made with app access tokens instead of user access tokens:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/486654544831076/
At this moment, I pretty much figured out what is happening, and it looks like a bug in the Facebook API.
For v2.3 and lower:
The /PAGE-ID call will return an Unknown server error when you don't pass ?fields=username (for example). If you do pass the fields option, it will work. You can get it out of the docs.
For v2.4:
This will work, but you will miss a lot of data, so you'll also have to pass the fields options. But if you don't pass that, this version will give you back only the most basic of details. This is as described in the version release: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2015/07/08/graph-api-v2.4/
So the solution for now, would be to add the ?fields= everywhere you need, or to wait for Facebook to maybe ever solve it.
(And while you're at it, you might as well upgrade to v2.4 ;-)
So, I have been trying to make Nagios work with Graphite to send alert emails but that's not working right. I used the following URL to set everything up:
http://www.protocolostomy.com/2012/02/24/sending-alerts-with-graphite-graphs-from-nagios/
The sendgraph.py alone, with the correct parameters sends a correct email with the graph properly displayed. But if I use nagios to send the graph it sends the correct message but the graph does not show up. I only get a file name which when tried to open gives me this message: "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." I have no idea why. All the work of sending the graph is done by sendgraph.py and it has all the correct parameters to it for sure because the URL gives the correct values from Graphite and then I get the email (so the email is correct) and I get the description and state of the graph correctly.
Could anyone please suggest me a way out of this?
Thanks!
In the Nagios documentation for macros it states:
"Additionally, any macros that contain custom variables are stripped for safety and security."
In you nagios.cfg file, try removing the '&' from this line:
illegal_macro_output_chars=`~$^&"|'<>
I am using Graph API in my application. I am fetching user's facebook wall feeds using graph API also getting details of particular post i.e (Like count,Comments etc).
but i want to allow user to Like and Comment any post from the application itself.
what is the request format for that?
Please help me or give any pointers.
Regards,
Sanket
You would be well served to check out the Publishing section of the documentation. It provides information such as this.
One example is liking, which is defined as:
Method: /OBJECT_ID/likes
Description: Like the given object (if it has a /likes connection)
Arguments: none
Basically, just initiate a Graph API call to something like:
[facebookObject requestWithGraphPath:#"98423808305/likes" andDelegate:self];
That will "like" a picture from Coca-Cola (ID taken from the documentation).
Edit 1
According to the documentation:
Most write operations require extended permissions for the active user. See the authentication guide for details on how you can request extended permissions from the user during the authentication step.
Are you sure you have enough privileges? Unfortunately the documentation is very unclear as to whether it serves the dual purpose of liking the object and returning the likes already on that object.
Edit 2
I did some more research into what could be causing this and came across this question and answer that indicated that the code I posted above using requestWithGraphPath:: should work. However, it does not due to a bug on Facebook's Bug Tracker.
Unfortunately, it looks like there is no way to "like" an object via the Graph API, which seems very strange to me. Perhaps it is possible with the legacy REST API instead of the Graph API?
Edit 3
Well, it looks like your best bet is the stream.addLike method of the legacy REST API which you can still call using the Facebook iOS SDK. You should be able to use the stream.addLike method to "like" something in the "stream". Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to support photos, videos, etc. Only posts and comments.
Finally i found the solution for LIKE option
We should use following method for like option.
-(void) requestWithGraphPath:(NSString *)graphPath
andParams:(NSMutableDictionary *)params
andHttpMethod:(NSString *)httpMethod
andDelegate:(id <FBRequestDelegate>)delegate
graphPath = /OBJECT_ID/likes
Paramas = dictionary with comment ,for like option use empty dictionary
HttpMethod should be POST
you should get response = true if the LIKE request is successful.
Well i started of by following all the instructions here:
http://code.google.com/p/xmppframework/wiki/FacebookChatHowTo
I used the recommended fork of the facebook api and tried the latest from:
https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk/
My problem starts with the following error:
< failure xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl">< not-authorized/></failure>
The error is a reply from facebook to xmppframework s response to a authentication challenge. The response that is made by the iphone is base64 encoded msg when i decode it i find 2 of the values are null:
api_key=(null)
and the
session_key=(null)
This is obviously the reason facebook is returning that error. But the problem i have is i cant seem to find any where to set these values in the framework. Besides i think the session_key should be pulled in from facebook anyway.
I guess what i want to know is a couple of things.
Has any one got the xmppframework working with facebook on a iDevice?
If you have got it working did you have to stray from the path of the instructions on http://code.google.com/p/xmppframework/wiki/FacebookChatHowTo ?
do you know of any other method to get facebook chat working on the iphone?
Any suggestions or help for my current dilemma would be appreciated. Happy to share my code if you want.
cheers
I wrote the Facebook integration for XMPPFramework. The api_key and session_key, come from a call to auth.PromoteSession. Facebook is trying to deprecate that call, so to enable it, you must follow step 7, in the HowTo:
Under Migrations, change Disable Deprecated Auth Methods from Enabled to Disabled and Save Changes.
