Error creating Facebook test user - facebook

I am following the instructions at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/test_users/
When I do:
https://graph.facebook.com/APP_ID/accounts/test-users?
installed=true
&name=Fred
&locale=en_US
&permissions=read_stream
&method=post
&access_token=XXXXXXXXX
I get:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: APP_ID",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 803
}
}
How do I fix this?

The issue is that you are using the string APP_ID instead of your app's id.
Further Explanation
I was able to duplicate the bug myself with the following steps:
Getting a App Access Token:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET&grant_type=client_credentials
where YOUR_APP_ID and YOUR_APP_SECRET were replaced with the correct values from https://developers.facebook.com/apps
Using the provided access token, appending it to the url.
https://graph.facebook.com/APP_ID/accounts/test-users?installed=true&name=Fred&locale=en_US&permissions=read_stream&method=post&access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
which result in
{
"error": {
"message": "(#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: APP_ID",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 803
}
}
Replacing APP_ID with the proper app id, also from https://developers.facebook.com/apps resulted in the correct response.

I used the following method and it works:
https://graph.facebook.com/YOUR_APPID/accounts/test-users?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN&installed=true&locale=en_GB&permissions=read_stream,read_friendlists,publish_stream
the APP_ACCESS_TOKEN :
Creating an APP_ACCESS_TOKEN is really easy. You can use your App ID/API Key and App secret
YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN = YOUR_APP_ID|YOUR_APP_SECRET
Example: 1234587968 | bghyuifjk3438483249235903502035023504305

Facebook Marketing API returns error on "breakdowns call"

I'm trying to make an API call with the folowing URL
act_XXXXXXXX/insights?fields=ad_id,clicks,unique_clicks,impressions,reach,spend,date_start,date_stop,actions,action_values,unique_actions,account_id&level=ad&breakdowns=platform_position&time_range={"since":"2019-09-07","until":"2019-09-07"}
and the response is :
{
"error": {
"message": "(#100) Current combination of data breakdown columns (action_type, platform_position) is invalid ",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 100,
"fbtrace_id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
}
}
the reason is in "breakdown" value = "platform_position"
but the problem is that I need exactly that breakdown :(
when I do an API call and change "breakdown" in URL to something else, for example to "publisher_platform":
act_XXXXXXX/insights?fields=ad_id,clicks,unique_clicks,impressions,reach,spend,date_start,date_stop,actions,action_values,unique_actions,account_id&level=ad&breakdowns=publisher_platform&time_range={"since":"2019-09-07","until":"2019-09-07"}
it is OK and responds with data.
I don't know why it happens because I'm not specifying any "action_type" breakdown but it tells that I am :(
What I've tried:
I tried to remove all the parameters from that URL one by one but it still returns an error
The main questions are: why the API call for "breakdown" value = "platform_position" fails and how to make it work.
Thanks.
PS: you can use FB API testing tool to test requests to FB api.
I'm using API version v8.0
You will need both publisher and position:
breakdowns=publisher_platform,platform_position

Facebook Graph API - How to get scheduler post's all detail in graph API

I'm new in facebook graph API, I want to get all the details of scheduler post like
full_picture
message
etc
I used :
GET v4.0/...?fields={fieldname_of_type_ScheduledPost} HTTP/1.1
Host: graph.facebook.com
But, I got error :
{
"error": {
"message": "(#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: ...",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 803,
"fbtrace_id": "A-aQAYXFbAdSX7oMYfcUP_3"
}
}
Ref., https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/scheduled-post/
The brackets and dots are just placeholders.
Wrong
fields={id,message,...}
Correct
fields=id,message,...
Also, you have to use the ID of a scheduled post instead of just using "..." in the API call.
To get all scheduled posts, use this endpoint: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/page/scheduled_posts/
Example:
/me/scheduled_posts?fields=id,message&access_token=<your-page-token>

"message": "Unsupported post request. Object with ID does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions

I have two apps on facebook. In one, I can make API calls. In the other, I can not.
I checked the configuration and the settings are the same.
Can you help me?
Example: https://graph.facebook.com/860599774051206/?access_token=APP_ID|APP_SECRET
https://graph.facebook.com/860599774051206/notifications?template=#[860599774051206]test&access_token=APP_ID|APP_SECRET&method=post
the error is:
{ "error": { "message": "Unsupported post request. Object with ID
'860599774051206' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing
permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph
API documentation at developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
"type": "GraphMethodException", "code": 100, "fbtrace_id":
"BRW7BqFeEER" } }
RESOLVED:
Any app can change the user_id
In an app the user_id is 962084030569446, in the other 860599774051206
Thakns for all.
I faced this issue when I was trying to post a response to an user from a page. I used the graph API me/accounts and got the list of pages. From there I retrieved the access_token of the page from which I'm going to post the response. I got the same error mentioned in the question.
The issue for me is the user account to which I was supposed to respond is locked due to security. This is the error I got from facebook when I tried to login
You can't use Facebook at the moment
This is the error I got for the post api call
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported post request. Object with ID 'xxx' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100,
"error_subcode": 33,
"fbtrace_id": "yyy"
}
}
Once the account security is resolved, the issue is resolved.
While unrelated to the OP problem I thought I would contribute, I got this error when posting to the Offline Events endpoint https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/<business_id>/events. I had posted from a node.js app successfully, then when porting the approach to a .Net implementation in our Linnworks order management system, got this error.
Turned out, I had mis-typed the access_token parameter that goes in the form data, i.e.
System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection formFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection();
formFields.Add("accessToken", accessToken);
formFields.Add("upload_tag", "store_data");
formFields.Add("data", data);
Should have been:
System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection formFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection();
formFields.Add("access_token", accessToken);
formFields.Add("upload_tag", "store_data");
formFields.Add("data", data);
Getting the access_token field wrong in this way caused this 'Object with ID does not exist' which is a bit of a red herring. I guess that, once the access_token value was not provided, no objects could be enumerated in our account because the request didn't authenticate in order to provide permissions, and so the object was 'not found'
(you do not have to use NameValueCollection, this is just a by-product of me using the multipart post implementation suggested here Upload files with HTTPWebrequest (multipart/form-data))
In my case - I had to use the app-id to get the list of pages using me/accounts.
Once I identify the page that I want to post the message to, I have to use the page-id to feed page-id/feed.
This solved the issue.
For example:
$response = $fb->get('/me/accounts', (string)$selBehRow1["fb_app_access_token"]);
foreach ($response->getDecodedBody() as $allPages)
{
foreach ($allPages as $page )
{
if (isset($page['id']) && $page['id'] == $selBehRow1['fb_page_id'])
{ // Suppose you save it as this variable
$appAccessToken = (string) $page['access_token'];
break;
}
}
}
$response = $fb->post(
//this is wrong: '/'.$selBehRow1["fb_app_id"].'/feed',
'/'.$selBehRow1["fb_page_id"].'/feed',
array(
"message" => "$msg",
"link" => "$link",
//"picture" => "http://www.example.net/images/example.png",
"name" => "$name",
"caption" => "$caption",
"description" => "$description"
),
$appAccessToken
);
}
i think post_id is wrong you can check it once
https://graph.facebook.com/860599774051206_4548643168486465/?access_token=APP_ID|APP_SECRET
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v3.3/object/comments
use this api for replies to the post
Method: POST
https://graph.facebook.com/860599774051206_4548643168486465/comments?access_token=APP_ID|APP_SECRET
body:
{
"message": "Thanks"
}
You need to use GET request instead POST. Look at the documentation
In my case I needed to Complete Setup

Tried to get facebook event

https://graph.facebook.com/895895040502397/events/attending/?fields=id,name,description,place,timezone,start_time,cover&offset=0&limit=2000&access_token=xxxxxxx&since=&until=2997993600
With this url I am getting below error.
{
"error": {
"message": "(#100) Tried accessing nonexisting field (fql) on node type (User)",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 100
}
}
Any idea how I can fix it.
.../895895040502397/attending...
Remove "events", the ID is already the ID of a specific event.
You can get event like this.
https://graph.facebook.com/895895040502397/attending/.....
Also Use CURL PHP.

Google Container Engine REST API Authorization

As mentioned here I created API key for using cluster operations.
For example for this query:
https://www.googleapis.com/container/v1beta1/projects/PROJECT_ID/clusters
And as mentioned
After you have an API key, your application can append the query
parameter key=yourAPIKey to all request URLs.
I added it to url:
https://www.googleapis.com/container/v1beta1/projects/PROJECT_ID/clusters?key=my_key
But i have error:
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "required",
"message": "Login Required",
"locationType": "header",
"location": "Authorization"
}
],
"code": 401,
"message": "Login Required"
}
}
I even tried to add key to Authorization part of header...and had this error:
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "authError",
"message": "Invalid Credentials",
"locationType": "header",
"location": "Authorization"
}
],
"code": 401,
"message": "Invalid Credentials"
}
}
Where is problem? Or did i something wrong?
According to the Google help documentation for API Keys (emphasis added):
An API key (either a server key or a browser key) is a unique
identifier that you generate using the Developers Console. Using an
API key does not require user action or consent. API keys do not grant
access to any account information, and are not used for
authorization.
Furthermore, it says that they can be used to access data that is public or owned by a Google service. The Google Container Clusters (GKE) data is neither of these. I'm not sure why the documentation suggests using an API key, but I know that OAuth works so if you can use that instead you should be able to get the REST API working.
