The following is what I get anytime I make a call to Message.attachment:
"media":[],
"name":"",
"caption":"",
"description":"",
"properties":[],
"icon":"https://s-static.ak.facebook.com/rsrc.php/v1/yD/r/aS8ecmYRys0.gif",
"fb_object_type":"","fb_object_id":"",
"tagged_ids":[]
This value is beyond useless to me; The targeted inbox messages have links, uploaded pictures, links to pictures, but they all return this... I expected something more useful, like a url to an attached image.
Am I just doing something wrong?

I'm trying to retrieve attachments in the Office365 rest api. Since I want to avoid downloading the entire attachments, I'm using a select clause to avoid downloading the content, which is in the ContentBytes property:
$select="ContentId,ContentType,Id,IsInline,Name,Size"
So basically, I want to retrieve everything except the content. However, this gives the following error message (json):
{
"error":
{
"code": "RequestBroker-ParseUri",
"message": "Could not find a property named 'ContentId' on type 'Microsoft.OutlookServices.Attachment'."
}
}
It's telling me that ContentId doesn't exist, which contradicts the specifications.
Edit: Here is the full request:
GET /api/v2.0/me/messages/AAMkAGZlZjI3N2I3LTg1YWUtNDFiNC05MGI0LTVjYTVmZGI5NGI2YQBGAAAAAABzr8uDji9LRqgTCEsDv22wBwBWTXbvZW0dTKuxUGxpK4-lAAAAAAEMAABWTXbvZW0dTKuxUGxpK4-lAAC5QnKBAAA=/attachments?%24select=ContentId%2CContentType%2CId%2CIsInline%2CName%2CSize
Even more strange, when I do the same query without specifying any select clause, it returns me a full attachment object, including a ContentId.
Anybody can help?
In case anyone has the same question for microsoft graph, you need to pass this filter:
$select=microsoft.graph.fileAttachment/contentId
like this:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages/attachments?$select=microsoft.graph.fileAttachment/contentId
The request that you posted is getting the message specifications but not the attachments. Since you need to get the content id, you need to add /attachments to the request with any required parameters.
GET https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/messages/{message_id}/attachments/{attachment_id}
So please add the attachments to your query to be able to get the content id.
Hope this helps.
Solved it. The answer was suggested by Brian's comment and I found an additional hint here.
Since 'ContentId' is a property of a FileAttachment, you need to specify that in the request, like so:
$select="Microsoft.OutlookServices.FileAttachment/ContentId,ContentType,Id,IsInline,Name,Size"
That did the trick. Thanks for the suggestions.
I am sending a request for graph insights with the action type breakdown like this one given in an example on Facebook page : https://graph.facebook.com/XXXXXXXX/app_insights/story_publishes?since=1418112000&until=1426748400&summary=true&breakdowns[0]=client&breakdowns[1]=action_type&breakdowns[2]=auth_state&date_format=U
The result is however difficult to read because the type of action is represented by a numeric value (uuid) like this: "action_type"=>"465905580137487", so I dont know what it relates to- checkin, share or photo upload. Also for different apps those uuids are also different. Does anyone know what call I need to make to get the action type names as strings? Thanks for help
You need to call this URL:
https://graph.facebook.com/{action_id}
where action_id is the value returned by action_type. You'll receive the action details on the response.
I am trying to bring comments made on a particular event by targeting this URL: https://graph.facebook.com/1466384840257158/comments
I am passing the user_access_token
I have two comments at present on this event made on the same
day(2014-03-29)
Now I try to pass a date which should bring an empty data result/object
like this: https://graph.facebook.com/1466384840257158/comments?since=2011-01-01&until=2014-01-10
This request has no effect, it still shows me the two comment made
on the 29th
I have tried the same kind of date range on my user-id/feed and it
gave me an empty data object.
Finally i tried event-id/feed (before trying date filter) and it
gave me the following error
.
{
"error": {
"message": "An unexpected error has occurred. Please retry your request later.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 2
}
}
Could you please guide me about date filter on that particular query (point4) or if you have any other idea to use date filter on comments made for an event.
Comments use Cursor-based Pagination, so you cannot use since or until on the comments endpoint (these parameters would work f.ex. for the feed endpoint).
To get the comments in a time range you have to fetch all comments from NOW to the start of the time range, f.ex. with https://graph.facebook.com/1466384840257158/comments?filter=stream&limit=1000+paging (the filter=stream will order the result with the timestamp).
USING SINCE UNTIL FOR COMMENTS on GROUP
If you want to use since and until for comments, it is not possible directly for a group. So, First you can apply it for status(feed) and then get the comments for that feed.
This works for me:
{group_id}/?fields=feed.since(08/25/2016).until(08/31/2016){from,comments{from,message}}
Why don't you try first to filter by notifications?... notifications allows you to add parameters like since. For example (using Facebook pages):
https://graph.facebook.com/PAGEID?fields=notifications.since(2015-3-31 00:00:00).limit(250).include_read(true)&{id,created_time,updated_time,unread,object,link}&access_token=ACCESSTOKEN
Once you got the json data, loop through data, get the ID and send a second request but this time using the PAGEID_POSTID edge. Something like this:
https://graph.facebook.com/PAGEID_POSTID/comments?fields=id,from{name,id},message,can_remove,created_time&limit=1000
Voahla!... there's no need to read every comment!...
Note 1: A Page access token is required, along with the manage_pages permission
Note 2: Use the parameter/field include_read to get all the notifications, even the already readed
Note 3: In the second request, use the parameter/field "filter=stream" to order the posts and get the comments made in the name of your page
Note 4: Don't forget to control the asynchronicity once you loop!
Note 5: Notifications duplicate posts, use an array to avoid to read more than one time the postUse the parameter/field include_read to get all the notifications, even the already readed
I do not know if it's too late. But, Yeah it works in the graph api version 3.3.
for example: if you wanna get comments on a post of a Facebook page you can do it like this:
You have to use page Access-token
The get Graph Request : post_id/comments?since=some_date
I get my checking account balance emailed to me once per day. I want to use Google Apps Script to pull the balance from the email message and plug it into my checking account spreadsheet. I am a novice to coding, but so far I have figured out how to do the following, which gets me a log of HTML code of the correct email message:
function myFunction() {
var thread = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName("CHK BAL").getThreads(0,1)[0]; // get first thread in inbox
var message = thread.getMessages()[0]; // get first message
Logger.log(message.getBody()); // log contents of the body
}
However, because this method returns the HTML code for the email message and not the actual message text, it doesn't contain the balance number that shows up in the email itself.
I tried substituting getPlainBody in place of getBody, but it returns a null value in the Log.
The question posted here is pretty much my same question (Google script that find text in my gmail and adds it to a spreadsheet?), but even with Mogsdad's reply and helpful links I haven't been able to figure out what's going wrong.
Can anyone help redirect me on how to get the email content instead of the null value?
(Once that's solved, I can't say that the link on Mogsdad's other reply is very clear about how to identify the currency and copy it into the spreadsheet, but of course I haven't been able to play around yet since I can't even access the content yet.)
Thanks!
EDIT 1
See Serge's answer below for instructions on how to parse the HTML. I used those functions to grab the text of the most recent Bank Account Balance email from a Gmail label/filter and drop it into a cell in my spreadsheet.
Then I was able to use the following equation in an adjacent cell to strip it down to just the currency number:
LEFT(RIGHT(A5,LEN(A5)-FIND("$",A5)),FIND(CHAR(10),RIGHT(A5,LEN(A5)-FIND("$",A5)))-1)+0
Of course, this works for me because the currency number is always preceded by $ (the first, and in my case, only $ to appear in the text) and always followed by CHAR(10). Anyone trying to apply this formula would need similar consistency before and after the value they are seeking to isolate.
You could try this code snippet originally written by Corey G on SO to get the text from the html content. I use it quite often and it works nicely most of the time :) (Thanks Corey)
function getTextFromHtml(html) {
return getTextFromNode(Xml.parse(html, true).getElement());
}
function getTextFromNode(x) {
switch(x.toString()) {
case 'XmlText': return x.toXmlString();
case 'XmlElement': return x.getNodes().map(getTextFromNode).join('');
default: return '';
}
}
And a test function to try it :
function test(){
var html = GmailApp.getInboxThreads()[0].getMessages()[0].getBody();
throw(getTextFromHtml(html));
}
As to why getPlainBody() is returning null, it is most likely due to a bug in Google Apps Script. The issue has been filed at https://code.google.com/p/google-apps-script-issues/issues/detail?id=3980.
From that thread: "It seems the messages affected contain HTML in their content. A possible workaround involves using getBody() instead of getPlainBody() and parsing through the HTML directly."
I'm working with the graph api and I ran into a problem: I get all the feeds from my page using: https://graph.facebook.com/page_ID/posts and then I display them in a nice way that requires larger thumbnails than the really small ones returned in data[i].picture .
I know it's possible for profile pictures... I've been reading the doc quite a bit and looking around and now I've got no clues... Have I missed something?
You can try doing FQL query to get the posts like so:
SELECT post_id, message, permalink, attachment, actor_id, created_time FROM stream WHERE source_id = PAGE_ID AND message != ""
If that still brings the same image size you can use this hack:
Disclaimer:
This is not a good method as Facebook may change the image path anytime.
That been said, for every image with this file name format:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_s.jpg
You can change the letter "s" just before the ".jpg" to "n" and get a bigger version like so:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_n.jpg
Changing it to "q" will give you an image with a width of no more then 180 pixels
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_q.jpg
