delete facebook requests via graph api - facebook

I am getting latest apprequest like this:
FB.api('/me/apprequests', function(response){
if (response.data[0]) {
// code here
};
How to delete apprequest using the same graph api method , I know this is possible with request containing access_token ... but in this case I am caching html and didn't know how
Thanks

Please use the following code (PHP):
file_get_contents('https://graph.facebook.com/'.$rid.'?access_token='.$token.'&method=DELETE') == "true";
// $rid: Request Id
// $token: Access Token
// The response is generally just the text "true"

Facebook api - invalid token

tried to send post to facebook api to scrape my page at load.
http://i.stack.imgur.com/3Jd0y.png
what is wrong with my code?
This is how you use FB.api:
FB.api('/', 'post', {
id: 'url-to-scrape',
scrape: true
}, function (response) {
console.log(response);
});
Not sure where you got that code example from, but you should always take a look at the Facebook docs.
I you are getting invalid token means your token is not correct let me tell you how to generate token it is simply by combining your app id and app secret gotten on Facebook developers app dashboard after you have signed up check here and read url and to check errors faster on your code api, download post man here www.getpostman.com, put in your api call code in the url bar and hit send it will tell you your error. Then to get token for facebook fancount,pageid,likescount, you can do a search for more info on graph.facebook.com on google. contact me if there is problem.
$appid = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$appsecret = "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy";
//get it from your dashboard
$token = $appid .|. $appsecret key

deleting facebook requests

The facebook docs here say "it is the Developers' responsibility to delete a Request once it has been accepted". As far as I understand, when someone sends a request to multiple users on facebook like this:
function sendRequestViaMultiFriendSelector() {
FB.ui({method: 'apprequests',
message: 'test message'
}, requestCallback);
}
only one request_id is returned via requestCallback() function.
Then, if I delete the request when someone accepts it, how would other users accept the deleted request?
when user comes following the app request, you can get request id's using
$_GET['request_ids']
then retrieve all the request ids with which you can call graph api to delete the corresponding requests like below:
if(isset($_GET['request_ids']))
{
$request_ids = $_GET['request_ids'];
}
$request_ids = explode(",", $request_ids);
foreach($request_ids as $request_id)
{
$full_request_id = $request_id."_".$fbid; //$fbid is current user facebook id
$facebook->api("$full_request_id","DELETE");
}
Check out the Request ID Format section of the FB request overview page.
The actual graph path for a request actually sent to specific user is "request-id"_"recipient-user-id".
you can access to facebook on mobile mode (m.faceook.com)
1-access the invitation panel
2-display all the invitations
3-open console mode in chrome
4-activate jquery by cpying and pasting all the jquery.min code into console
and excecute this script :
$("._54k8._56bs._56bt").trigger("click");
that will cancel or the invitation sent

Get public page statuses using Facebook Graph API without Access Token

I'm trying to use the Facebook Graph API to get the latest status from a public page, let's say http://www.facebook.com/microsoft
According to http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=microsoft%2Fstatuses - I need an access token. As the Microsoft page is 'public', is this definitely the case? Is there no way for me to access these public status' without an access token?
If this is the case, how is the correct method of creating an access token for my website? I have an App ID, however all of the examples at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/ describe handling user login. I simply want to get the latest status update on the Microsoft page and display it on my site.
This is by design. Once it was possible to fetch the latest status from a public page without access token. That was changed in order to block unidentified anonymous access to the API. You can get an access token for the application (if you don't have a Facebook application set for your website - you should create it) with the following call using graph API:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?
client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET&
grant_type=client_credentials
This is called App Access Token. Then you proceed with the actual API call using the app access token from above.
hope this helps
You can use AppID and Secret key to get the public posts/feed of any page. This way you don't need to get the access-token. Call it like below.
https://graph.facebook.com/PAGE-ID/feed?access_token=APP-ID|APP-SECRET
And to get posts.
https://graph.facebook.com/PAGE-ID/posts?access_token=APP-ID|APP-SECRET
It's no more possible to use Facebook Graph API without access token for reading public page statuses, what is called Page Public Content Access in Facebook API permissions. Access token even is not enough. You have to use appsecret_proof along with the access token in order to validate that you are the legitimate user. https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/v2/2018/12/10/verification-for-individual-developers/.
If you are individual developer, you have access to three pages of the data (limited), unless you own a business app.
You can get the posts by simply requesting the site that your browser would request and then extracting the posts from the HTML.
In NodeJS you can do it like this:
// npm i request cheerio request-promise-native
const rp = require('request-promise-native'); // requires installation of `request`
const cheerio = require('cheerio');
function GetFbPosts(pageUrl) {
const requestOptions = {
url: pageUrl,
headers: {
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0'
}
};
return rp.get(requestOptions).then( postsHtml => {
const $ = cheerio.load(postsHtml);
const timeLinePostEls = $('.userContent').map((i,el)=>$(el)).get();
const posts = timeLinePostEls.map(post=>{
return {
message: post.html(),
created_at: post.parents('.userContentWrapper').find('.timestampContent').html()
}
});
return posts;
});
}
GetFbPosts('https://www.facebook.com/pg/officialstackoverflow/posts/').then(posts=>{
// Log all posts
for (const post of posts) {
console.log(post.created_at, post.message);
}
});
For more information and an example of how to retrieve more than 20 posts see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54267937/2879085
I had a similar use case for some weeks and I used this API:
https://rapidapi.com/axesso/api/axesso-facebook-data-service/
I could fetch all posts and comments in some minutes, worked quite well for me.

Titanium.Facebook getting graph api access token

I'm developing an iPhone app with Appcelerator Titanium SDK 1.6.2
I am upload an photo to a users facebook album with the Titanium Facebook module, graph api.
The upload goes just fine and returns the items unique ID.
When I try to parse the JSON from the unique id I'm told i need to pass an access token, which makes sense.
How do I get the access token to be passed to the graph request url?
When I do a XHR GET request while passing Ti.Facebook.accessToken I get the following error
URL: https://graph.facebook.com/10150527948301195?access_token=t4CqzHallahfy4d7RnERrJb4ffOkQfJvrYrGEBoZ4so.epdiI6IjJGR2ZFY1ZTMHh6RlR6ZmNIcVctMHcifQ.NBRMth0vb7pXKcd8lHNz9aremoyNpvrbhz2P3zkgWJU4eHdfewOp1WruBNZS_lSDy0XM0Xu0ACry8aEmSckGJVQJxEioykrNZhT7S9mJG2OKWqMdk6ucg5IMhXMfndF9sdKwWrWb7uPKI57LzIOf5lvA
{
error = {
message = "Unsupported post request.";
type = GraphMethodException;
};
}
And if I don't pass Ti.Facebook.accessToken I'm asked for it.
I'm bound to be missing something, any help would be greatly appreciated.
see this link http://developer.appcelerator.com/blog/2011/02/facebook-module-changes-in-titanium-mobile-1-6-0.html
I think you should be using Titanium.Facebook.requestWithGraphPath(...)

According to Facebook, and my personal experiences with the api, the FB.getSession() function is deprecated and should throw an exception if called.
From facebook:
The FB.getAuthResponse method is a replacement for the FB.getSession method which was deprecated after the migration to OAuth 2.0.
Instead you should use the getLoginStatus callback -
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
var token = response.authResponse.accessToken;
});
//Example structure of response object
var eg =
{
status: 'connected',
authResponse: {
accessToken: '...',
expiresIn:'...',
signedRequest:'...',
userID:'...'
}
};
source: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.getLoginStatus/
If you are using the JavaScript SDK, then after logging in the user, getting the access token in your JavaScript code is as simple as:
FB.getSession().access_token
However, getSession may return null if a user is logged out, so the proper way is to first check for null before accessing the token.
var session = FB.getSession();
if(session != null) { // user is still logged in
console.log(session.access_token);
}
