I have been trying to subscribe to real-time updates for the past week and I have been unsuccessful.
When I do the HTTP post (using rest-client) to URL:
https://graph.facebook.com/<app-id>/subscriptions
...I get this error message as response:
{"error":{"message":"(#100) The parameter object is required","type":"OAuthException"}}
My header parameters were as follows:
access_token=***,
object=user,
fields=friends,
callback_url=https://aaa.appspot.com,
verify_token=(app secret key)
I'm not able to find where I'm going wrong.
Somebody please kindly guide/help me figure my mistake.

Thanks you for your time in advance.
You need to send your request to https://graph.facebook.com/appid/subscriptions and not https://graph.facebook.com/subscriptions - although that might be an error in your question and not your code!
EDIT: I just checked the markup for your question and you do have appid in the URL, it just wasn't displaying properly
How are you getting the access token? You must use an application access token and not a user access token, i.e. retrieve the access token from https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=<APP_ID>&client_secret=<APP_SECRET>&grant_type=client_credentials
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/realtime/ is the official documentation, that might be more up to date than the link you've been using.

Using push API continuously returns token count should within 1 and 1,000. Please find the API error in the screenshot.
The possible causes of this problem is, you have placed the “token” attribute in wrong place.
Solution:
Please keep your “token” attribute within the “message” object,.

For details, check the following documents:
https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/doc/development/HMSCore-Guides/android-server-dev-0000001050040110
Your token is outside the message body, "token", "android" should be within the message body.
Please check the sample code here
Also, if you want to use more tokens (>1000), the best method is to invoke the API using App server and send messages in batches.
I have been hammering away at this problem for the last day. I really hope someone can help me out. I would be very grateful.
What I am trying to do is fetch event data from a Facebook Page. I looked over the documentation, which says this about reading Pages data:
Reading
A Facebook page
Permissions
For pages that are published, you need:
An app or user access token to view fields from fully public pages.
So what I did was I obtained an app access token via:
GET https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?
client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
&grant_type=client_credentials
which then returned
access_token=MY_APP_ID|MY_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN
After this I followed the documentation and made the following call
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/129511477069092/events?fields=id,cover,name,venue,description&access_token=MY_APP_ID|MY_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN
This returned:
{
"data": [
]
}
So after some fiddling around I was able to make the call by switching to version V2.2 and by creating an access key with Facebook API Graph explorer tool(no permissions granted).
GET https://graph.facebook.com/v2.2/129511477069092/events?
fields=id,cover,name,venue,description&
access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_FACEBOOK_API_EXPLORER_TOOL
The page I am trying to retrieve data from is public and so are the events, so I can't figure out what is going on. I know I am super close since I am able to retrieve the data with the token provided by the Facebook API Graph Explorer Tool. The thing with using this token is that it only last a few hours and I need something that is going to last longer such as an app access token. I have done some research on Stackoverflow and found similar questions, but none of them solve my problem. Any help will be appreciated to the max! Thanks.
Looks like a bug of v2.4 to me. It works with v2.3 if you remove the deprecated venue field:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/145634995501895/?method=GET&path=129511477069092%2Fevents%3Ffields%3Did%2Ccover%2Cname%2Cdescription&version=v2.3
If the version is changed to v2.4, it returns an empty result.
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/145634995501895/?method=GET&path=129511477069092%2Fevents%3Ffields%3Did%2Ccover%2Cname%2Cdescription&version=v2.4
There's no documentation about this in the changelog at
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_4
so I guess it's a bug. There's already a bug report at
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/443054055873667/
with status assigned. If you have an app that supports v2.3, I'd suggest you prefix your request like this:
GET /v2.3/129511477069092/events?fields=id,cover,name,description
I'm creating a custom module in Drupal, that for part of its functionality must fetch posts from a business page. So for simplicity, I'm using fbapp module as a dependency (drupal.org/project/fbapp), so that I can use it's authentication and request functions (fbapp_app_authenticate() and fbapp_graph_request()) without having to worry about the constant facebook graph updates making my own code obsolete.
I've created a facebook app, so authentication should be app token, using appid and app secret. This seems fine and I'm getting back access_token. However, when I try to read posts from a publicly available page (the clients), I get the response:
"Unsupported get request. Please read the Graph API documentation at https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/graph-api"
Here's the queries and responses my code produces:
graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=<redacted>&client_secret=<redacted>&grant_type=client_credentials
array(1) {
["access_token"]=>
string(43) "<redacted>|<redacted>"
}
graph.facebook.com/<page_id>/posts?access_token=<redacted>|<redacted>"
string(183) "{"error":{"message":"Unsupported get request. Please read the Graph API documentation at https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/graph-api","type":"GraphMethodException","code":100}}"
Can anyone verify a correct way to query a Facebook page programmatically, perhaps there's a setting in the page I'm querying that I need to set (although I can't find anything)?
If page restrictions apply, the page's feed can only be retrieved with an user access token as far as I know (because FB needs to evaluate the visibility criteria, and setting your app to the same restrictions doesn't help here):
See
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.4/page/feed#readperms
It looks like everything you have done is correct. The response you got can be (i am not sure) because you got your clients pageid wrong.
I found a good tutorial for building Facebook membership Authentication website which demo file is here > http://niftyandcrackerjack.com/sites/default/files/Test.zip
I wonder this example does not use access token to retrieve Facebook User Info. It use classes inherits from the masterpage. As I am new to ASP.NET, I don't know how to retrieve Facebook user info. Can someone give me and suggestion or explain...... Thanks,
My finding so far indicate that basic information cannot be accessed unless one has either 'userid' or 'username' as in this post.
If one has to try and fetch basic information using following url, then access_token is needed
http://graph.facebook.com/me
Perform an HTTP GET to https://graph.facebook.com/{userid} or HTTP GET to https://graph.facebook.com/{username}
Examples: Click the link below to see the JSON response.
https://graph.facebook.com/4
https://graph.facebook.com/zuck
Pretty cool, eh? And no token needed to get at this public info.
You can get more info on this here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api
I looked all over facebook api docs for FLEX and i couldn't find a way to obtain a new access token, can anyone please guide me how to that?
By the way , the only time I get error "access token" is when I try to get information from the api and using the parameter "since".
when I use this call, im getting a token error message
FacebookDesktop.api("me/likes?since=1319917311",handleFeed);
and when im using it without since
FacebookDesktop.api("me/likes",handleFeed);
I get no error message
anyway the main issue is how to obtain a new access token
10x!
You should use third argument of FacebookDesktop.api method to pass additional parameters:
FacebookDesktop.api("me/likes",handleFeed, {
since:1319917311
});
