I want to collect some posts/statuses using https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=sampleword, but it didn't return any results.
I use this word in my status: http://www.facebook.com/100002364215777/posts/189715107783962 , so it should be found.
What I did wrong/how to do it in another way?
For a start you will need to regeister as a facebook developer and get an access token.
Please read the Graph API doc It will tell you more about Authorization and how to do Searches.
I've found an answer few days ago - it's a bug: http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/251747031550291?browse=search_4ede11dc12bef5f22614385

https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=sharma&fields=name&type=user&access_token=
I was this URL along with access token and it was giving me user name list that i was using in my project. Only names are my requirement but when today i started to use it i am not getting any data nor any error.
Its only returning this
{
"data": [
]
}
Recently a month ago it was working for me.
Can anyone tell me if they have the same issue or if something has changed?
Is there any other was of getting users name mainly first + last name from fb?
I have found answer of my question which is Fb is no more giving user results for graph search api.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog/breaking-changes#search-4-4
Search API
You can no longer use the /search endpoint with the following object types:
event
group
page
user
I dont know whether its a permanent revoke or temporary but it has something to do with Cambridge analytica data leak issue
https://www.google.co.in/search?biw=1360&bih=662&tbm=nws&ei=-iTXWrrkCYrxvgTTy5GgCw&q=cambridge+analytica+data+leak&oq=cambridge+analytica+data+leak
I hope it will help others to find out why their API is not working anymore.
I tried to get Data from Facebook Page with the graph of Facebook but I have a problem.
When I try to go on link like:
https://graph.facebook.com/ID-PAGE?access_token=MY_ACCESS_TOKEN
I always do this to have the Data from a Page but since today I have the error Message: "An unknown error has occurred".
Thanks for help.
EDIT:
The bug is fixed : https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/486654544831076/?search_id
Have a look at my answer at
How to get user email and birthday from Facebook API Version v2.4
You have to specify each field you want to query now with v2.4. If you want to explicitly use v2.3, you need to prepend your calls by /v2.3 like this:
/v2.3/{page_id}?access_token=MY_ACCESS_TOKEN
Seems like there's currently a bug regarding requests made with app access tokens instead of user access tokens:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/486654544831076/
At this moment, I pretty much figured out what is happening, and it looks like a bug in the Facebook API.
For v2.3 and lower:
The /PAGE-ID call will return an Unknown server error when you don't pass ?fields=username (for example). If you do pass the fields option, it will work. You can get it out of the docs.
For v2.4:
This will work, but you will miss a lot of data, so you'll also have to pass the fields options. But if you don't pass that, this version will give you back only the most basic of details. This is as described in the version release: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2015/07/08/graph-api-v2.4/
So the solution for now, would be to add the ?fields= everywhere you need, or to wait for Facebook to maybe ever solve it.
(And while you're at it, you might as well upgrade to v2.4 ;-)
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 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.
Sorry for my English. I know very little English.
I am trying pull data from here : http://api.vk.com/api.php?api_id=2539386&count=200&v=2.0&method=audio.search&sig=c2b83d95d3d5914de0aa6ae7ca1c1007&test_mode=1&q=beatles
c2b83d95d3d5914de0aa6ae7ca1c1007 = md5->141080534api_id=2539386count=200method=audio.searchq=beatlestest_mode=1v=2.0mysecretkey
But return to me : "Incorrect signature: ifame/flash authorization"
Where is error ?
Should've read the API documentation first, the solution to your problem gets explained in pretty much the first line about the Audio Search method. You're getting an error because you're not authorized yet. You need to authorize your app first with rights with bitmask 8. More info about the Audio Search method | More info about the application rights bitmasks
You are using old method my dear :) Use like this:
https://api.vk.com/method/audio.search.xml?access_token=TOKEN&q=QUERY
Replace TOKEN with your access token... Replace QUERY with your search term
More info
