I have an application that goes and gets a users messages from their facebook account, but I've hit an error.
The user in question has a thread between him and me in his inbox, however it doesn't show up in his API call to /me/inbox with his specific access_token.
I do have a valid token (it works for all other calls), and I know it should be working fine (I am opening it in my browser directly to debug, and the data just does not exist).
There is no second page to view, no limit or timestamp imposed upon it, just missing data.
For testing, we do have every single API permission offered, so I know it is not a permissions problem.
Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening, and how to fix it?
I was struggling with the same problem. I found that using the `/me/threads' endpoint delivers much more complete data.
Update:
However I found out that this endpoint is not available to non-developers for the time being:

So I'm using Jira Rest API, where the user can type their own JQL query and then a table will display tasks. The only problem is my Rest API is very slow, and I think it's due to login before it can access the data. Is there a way to make the Rest API faster?
a simple call which GETs around 20 task results takes up to 17sec, before the user gets the requested information.
the URL can be something like:
https://jirabd.xxx.com/rest/api/latest/search?jql=project%20in%20(BUG%2CFIELDB)%20AND%20component%20in%20(%22Fieldb%20Components%22)%20%22AND%20issuetype%20=%20BUG%20AND%20status%20!=%20%22Closed%22&fields=customfield_10100,customfield_10101,status
I simply just need to know where I might have to look to boost the performance, since I have no clue how/where to start looking.
EDIT
Did some more digging regarding login, and it seems its the way our accounts has been setup in the company. The service account I use for login, takes 17sec to login, where a regular account takes 1-2sec to login, so that's why. Now I just have to figure out why this is the case.
If the issue is login, try keeping the authentication cookie for the next requests:
https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/cookie-based-authentication/
or OAuth as they do suggest
I'm only actually trying to use deeplinks, not even the api, but I can't find any way to get the product ID (uber connect) that I need without it, so I am attempting to get products.
https://sandbox-api.uber.com/v1.2/products
I am getting an the error "This endpoint requires at least one of the following scopes: ride_request.estimate" which I understand is because I have not gained scope access from uber.
(I did include that scope in the 0Auth request.)
It has been absolutely impossible to reach them. I filled out a form and it said they'd get back to me sometime but they are very busy.
An entire project is held up for hours over this detail and I'm really struggling for how to solve this. Is there a way to gain access or even make a sandbox request without that scope?
Or would someone be kind enough enough to run the call and let me know the response for [latitude]=-1.2741798[longitude]=36.791785
Thanks everyone.
Really odd situation that just started to occur. I have an App Token that's valid and can receive data on certain accounts. The problem is that it's not always consistent, some account work perfectly, but some are returning blank responses. I've never seen anything like it.
Does anyone have any ideas? If I fudge my access token a bit, it'll respond with the correct errors, but it seems like everything correct and I get nothing.
My endpoint is /account_id/posts?access_token=xxxxxXXXXxxxxXXXxXxxx
This might be related to the page having some type of demographic restrictions enabled. When this happens a user token is required to pull some information so FB can check to see if the restriction is applicable.
I have tried raising this concern on Facebook/Support/Bugs but they said I should post implementation issues here. I have read it everywhere and it seems to be quiet open issue till now. I am not sure, If this will be solved or not.
So, what we are doing is, we have clients - Android and iOS.
Apps on Android/iOS allows users to login into the app and generate the token on the basis of permissions set we have, and we are passing this token to server for fetching further data as and when required for client. As our userbase is increasing we are getting Application request limit reached quiet often.
We are fetching photos of users and their friends using FQL. So, when parallely fetching photos for around 8-10 different users, we are reaching the Application request limit sometimes, which is quiet random and we are not aware of the actual scenario when it breaks up and how. According to facebook the limit, which is 1M calls per day, but we are hitting around 80K - 1 Lac API calls in a day, but as users are increasing it is stretching a bit further, Less than or equal to 200 approax calls/user. We tried doing batch calls as well and we hit the application request limit as well.
If anyone of you could help us understand the complete concept of API limit and how this can be handled, then we will really appreciate the help. We want to understand how API limit is decided and it's rate is calculated over which interval so that we will be able to configure on our side accordingly.
Earlier in the day, we ran into a unique API call issue. Our server started to break for API calls for user tokens that are with us, we (on our systems, other than server) tried fetching the data for those tokens (Simple calls - /me or /me/home), and it was working alright for us but not for server, then we tried setting up another server and redirected the requests to our new server then this server works well for the same set of users. Not sure, what went wrong in this case and how it breaks up. Please help.
Many Thanks,
Reno Jones
Did you look at the Insights -> Developer section of developer.facebook.com for your app?
This will show you a breakdown per api call, including warnings and ones that are currently being throttled and why.
Also, are you sure you're using User token authorization and not just your App token?
Beyond that, we take the information from Insights to find api calls to cache on our side rather than hitting Facebook every time. You will likely have to do something similar if you're not already. They have limits for calling too often, as well as for requesting too much data. For those, we had to reduce the limits of historical data we requested.
I've been looking all over to find the correct API call to block applications via application ID, however I've yet to find it. I'm actually becoming quite certain that it's not possible (for obvious reasons, Facebook revenue being one of them), however I was wondering if anyone knew of a way, even via URL call ('https://www.facebook.com/apps/block.php?id=' + APPID + '&action=block' no longer works correctly, if it ever did.)
Basically I've been making a ruby script to be deployed to help users block spammy and generally unwanted applications via application ID's, the script is almost complete, however I need a method to be able to actually block the applications! If anyone could give me some help, I'd very much appreciate it.
Refer to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/application/#banned
Create/Ban
You can ban a user for an app by issuing an HTTP POST request to
APP_ID/banned?uid=USER_ID1,USER_ID2 with an application access token
(i.e. a token created using the app secret, not an application Page
access token as described above). You can specify the following
parameters.
This is not (and probably/hopefully will not ever) possible via API. There are too many reasons to leave it that way. You don't want applications block each other...
This may sounds like a show-stopper for you, but it's not! Generate report arguing the reason why some applications better be blocked/removed/reported and show it to users instructing 'em how to do this.
