I get two errors when I integrate FB with my site:
API Error Code: 191
API Error Description: The
specified URL is not owned by the
application
Error Message: redirect_uri is not
owned by the application.
In the address bar in the FB popup.. the api key and app id values are the same.
These errors don't ever happen together - it is either 1 or 2 never both.
what are you trying to do and in which language ?
the second error can be fixed by editing the site_url with the proper on which matches your website url in website tab in the developer dashboard of your application .
The redirect URL isn't on the same host that you provided when you registered your application. It has to be the same host - hostname.domainname.com. Any path or file under that is fine, but the host must match your app's settings on Facebook.
You probably didn't set the Site URL in your facebook application settings (edit your app->Website->Site URL) to the URL of your site.

When I'm trying to authenticate a user it tells me I need a valid redirect uri.
Where can I change, fix or add it?
I am using the Deezer javascript SDK.
Thanks.
You have to complete 2 steps:
Create an application on http://developers.deezer.com
Set the right domain for that application. For example, YOUR_APPLICATION_DOMAIN.com is right, http://www.YOUR_APPLICATION_DOMAIN.com is wrong.
Setting a wrong application domain in the Edit section of your application will make the user login fail with the following message: "You must enter a valid redirect uri".
I got the same error until I removed the http:// from the "application domain" parameter defined at developers.deezer.com.
ie. use: application domain: subdomain.example.com rather than http://subdomain.example.com
I am working on an app where I have to use Yahoo account to login.
I had gone through this link and followed the procedure as it was there.But I am unable to get back to my app after authentication.After googling I found an answer here.Here he said that "Add an URL Scheme in your info.plist file with the YOUR_APP_ID_OR_BUNDLE_ID" I did the same,but unable to redirect from yahoo to my app.If any one worked on this please help me.Thanks in advance.
This is what I had done in my URL Schemes
where JCzOzd44 is my app ID.
In yahoo account while creating the app.what should I give in "Application Domain"
I didn't work with the Yahoo! API yet, but in oauth it works like that:
Create an url scheme in your app. You can do that in the Info section of your project settings (URL types). Name the scheme whatever you want, for example your app id.
When you authenticate your app, you can pass a parameter named oauth_callback. Here you have to pass the name of the just created url scheme.
This should be it - when the login is ok on the Yahoo side, it will try to open the app that is registered for the url scheme it got as callback parameter.
UPDATE:
From the Yahoo! API documentation - this is the call you do when requesting the oauth token somewhere in your code (I filled in your url scheme as the callback, this is how it should look like):
https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/v2/
get_request_token?oauth_nonce=ce2130523f788f313f76314ed3965ea6
&oauth_timestamp=1202956957
&oauth_consumer_key=123456891011121314151617181920
&oauth_signature_method=plaintext
&oauth_signature=abcdef
&oauth_version=1.0
&xoauth_lang_pref="en-us"
&oauth_callback="JCzOzd44://"
Of course the request should be signed.
I have found the solution though with a little overheads.
Steps are: 1> Create a PHP script in you own server (say named, YRedirect.php).
2> Paste the following code in it-
CODE
<?php
$query = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header("Location: com-mycompany-myapp://oauth-response?" . $query);
>
Where "com-mycompany-myapp" is your bundle identifier
3> Add an URL Scheme in your info.plist file with the YOUR_APP_ID_OR_BUNDLE_ID. That's it and you are DONE with the authentication problem.
In your code
[self.session sendUserToAuthorizationWithCallbackUrl:#"http://yourdomain.com/YRedirect.php"];
Then, register a custom URL scheme for your iPhone application from your Info.plist file, and then setup your server side script to redirect Safari back to your application via the URL scheme you just set up.
Thanks for this valuable information. Following your instructions I got the auth & call back working and the php page loads the app.
According to the specification here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/pagetab/ I want to autorize user with the server-side flow on page tab. I use PHP-SDK.
My redirect_uri parameter is build like that:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/null/PAGE_ID/app_YOUR_APP_ID
and I keep getting:
API Error Code: 191
API Error Description: The specified URL is not owned by the application
I was trying many different settings combinations. Now I have filled fields: App Domains,Site URL,Canvas URL,Secure Canvas URL,Page Tab URL,Secure Page Tab URL but still without success. Addresses are ending with / and are all the same.
Link are build proper by the sdk. I test building it "by hand" without encoding of redirect_uri param and redirect link build like that:
https://www.facebook.com/PAGE_USERNAME/app_YOUR_APP_ID
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Page_Title/PAGE_ID?sk=app_YOUR_APP_ID
Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
The answer to that question is that facebook documentation is incorrect. Format of return_uri that worked is:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/null/PAGE_ID?sk=app_YOUR_APP_ID
The format of return_uri changed again, the new format is:
https://www.facebook.com/PAGE_NAME?sk=app_YOUR_APP_ID
I have a web application which is configured as a canvas web application in facebook and also has provided a mobile url where mobile specific page is served from the web server. Application has been running for about 3 months and starting last week (I believe the issue started last week, there was no application deployment for the last 3 months ) when I access the application from my android phone , from the apps short cut in the native android facebook application , facebook throws the below error
API Error Code:196
API Error Description: Cannot redirect to desktop web canvas URL on a mobile device.
Error Message : redirect_uri is not owned by this application.
I can see that the request is coming to my web server and after I send the redirect url to the mobile, it throws the above error.
Since there was no code changes, I'm a bit confused about this new error, and googling this api error number didn't return any hits except for one japanese website where someone has mentioned about this error last week, but don't see any solutions.
The error message "cannot redirect to desktop web canvas..." seems to be sort of self explanatory but I can't figure out what is wrong , especially since the samething was working before, unless FB has changed any of their code which introduced a new issue or exposed an existing issue in my application configuration.
Lost 1 day on this, tried to read 2 Japanese (untraslated) blogs.. Then I figured it out my way!
In the app settings, do NOT enter the same url for the mobile app!
example:
normal canvas or website url:
https://www.stackoverflow.com/
(which will automatically bring you to https://www.stackoverflow.com/index.php)
mobile url: https://www.stackoverflow.com/mobile/
(which will automatically bring you to https://www.stackoverflow.com/mobile/index.php)
then make a "mobile" folder in your hosting root folder.
Now the only difference in the mobile folder will be the redirect uri.
I am using an url redirect, which is what facebook suggests.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/oauth/
CRITICAL: make sure your redirect uri is not the canvas address but the webserver address!
wrong redirect uri: https://apps.facebook.com/mobile/yourappname/
correct redirect uri: https://yourwebsite.com/mobile/
this will make facebook think that it's an ad hoc mobile website! And everything will work as expected!
I had the same problem, and I solved it not set "redirect_uri" param, like this.
$url = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array(
'scope' => 'xxxx, xxxx, xxxx',
'display' => 'touch'
));
As you know, we can put "Canvas Page URL" value like
http://apps.facebook.com/[your app name space]
to "redirect_uri" param before, but I guess the spec of the param was changed at the middle of the last week.
I got a same error, "API Error Code:196".

I've been searching for the answer for days and I haven't been successful so I finally post to ask.
I'm developing a facebook app locally (it says I can develop locally in the guide) and having an issue when trying to authorize the app.
The following is the error msg I get when I direct to http://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=MY_APP_ID&redirect_uri=https://apps.facebook.com/MY_APP_NAME
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Error
An error occurred with Footmarker. Please try again later.
API Error Code: 191
API Error Description: The specified URL is not owned by the application
Error Message: Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.

Canvas URL & Site URL : http://localhost:8888/app/
I'm using EasyPHP hence port 8888. I tried changing port number to 80(default), 8080(one used in facebook guide) and no success.
I don't know if it's EasyPHP that causes the problem or simply I'm doing something wrong.
This thing drives me crazy. Help much appreciated. Thanks.
in this url: http://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=MY_APP_ID&redirect_uri=https://apps.facebook.com/MY_APP_NAME
You have to set redirect_uri=http://localhost:8888/app and authorize the localhost domain in your facebook app's settings (in the App domains field).
The Site URL & Canvas URL are used to check if the redirect_uri is not set to another URL for security reasons but the standard specify redirect_uri so they've let this parameter.
It's for this kind of error I built OAuth.io. We don't want more developers like you with a headache using OAuth.
using it is really easy:
OAuth.popup('facebook', function(err, res) {
// here, you can use res.access_token to make your API Call
// or...
res.get('/me')
.done(function(data) {
alert('Hello ' + data.name)
})
})
With this, you can't make mistake with URL anymore :)
The problem here is that your URL is not on the Internet. It is accessible from your computer only. You need a public URL.
Perhaps you can use dynDNS free to get onto the Net with your application from home.
Or, get a web server connected to the Net to host your App.
Best of luck!
this just because of URL mistake
whatever website url is specified should be correct.
i mentioned website url as http://localhost:3000/ and domain as localhost
but in my browser i was running http://0.0.0.0:3000/ that was the actual problem so i ran server as localhost:3000 now its working fine. Because we mentioned site url as localhost fb will redirect to same, if we r running 0.0.0.0:3000 it will rise error that Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.
so becarefull with your website url you have specified in facebook app.
and the url you are running locally both should match
thank you
