I am trying to use FBGraph to let my app publish messages on the users wall. However, all of the APIs are kind of foreign to me and I am just trying to change things and see what happens. Right now, I am getting this error message
{
"error": {
"type": "OAuthException",
"message": "Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration."
}
}
Does anyone know what it means by redirect_uri? What would it be on my Application Settings page on facebook?
Florin is correct. Just a note here.. when testing locally you will need to set it to:
http://localhost:3000/ (or whatever your app server port is)
Then when you move it to production, set it to your regular URL:
http://yourdomain.com/
I have a separate facebook app that I use in development to test, so I don't have to change back and forth between them and I set up the keys in a settings file, which has my tokens for development and production apps.
Anyways, looks like you are almost there. It is making it back to the callback url at least. Should be fine once you update the facebook_connect URL
I am not a facebook expert, but I hit the exact same problem as you a few hours ago when I was trying to login a user inside a web application with Facebook.
It seems that the redirect_uri which you specify in your call to "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize" must be on the same domain as the Connect Url of your application. (you can set that connect url from the Connect section in your application's settings)
Regards,
Florin
May need to check your Settings > Basic > Basic Info > App Domain. I believe hat needs to be set correctly for the redirect_uri as well.
I had the same issue.
In my case, I had configured site url on facebook as: "http://localhost:3000", it was a wrong URL to facebook.
The reason is, it lack of the / in the end of url, so the correct site url should be:
"http://localhost:3000/"
Just verify your 'Application ID'. In my case I had that problem because I was using ID from my other project that I was working on. Fairly obvious but I lost some time.
I had to make sure I had the scope in there too:
config.omniauth :facebook, 'xxxx', 'xxx', :scope => 'offline_access,email,publish_stream'
Plus you really need to make sure you wait a couple of minutes because it does take time to propagate..

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.
Unfortunately I keep getting this error:
{
"error": {
"message": "Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 191
}
}
Login works however when my /etc/hosts file is set to: 127.0.0.1 [mysite].rhcloud.com, it only fails when I view the actual [mysite].rhcloud.com.
I am running the exact same application (on a different server) locally as the one I'm running on rhcloud. Specifically the local<->remote web-application directories are synced.
URL information
When attempting login remotely the URL looks like this; and fails with aforementioned error:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?scope=user_photos%2Cfriends_photos&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2F[mypublicipaddress]%2Fuser%2Flogin&response_type=code&client_id=[hidden]
Whereas attempting to login locally the URL looks like this; and works:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/permissions.request?app_id=[hidden]&display=page&next=http%3A%2F%2F[hidden].rhcloud.com%2Fuser%2Flogin&response_type=code&perms=user_photos%2Cfriends_photos&fbconnect=1
OK, you seem to be doing this right, but there's one thing that sometimes trips people up, do both your redirect_uri and 'Website URL' field have a trailing '/'?
In particular, if the redirect_uri doesn't have the trailing '/' (or a filename, etc) after the domain name it doesn't always work
did you set your canvas URL/secure canvas URL in facebook app configuration. IF so, retry after removing them. Or try after making sure canvas URL should be correct.
Yes. The trailing / matters. Just check your these fields, and add that trailing / if it's not there.
But, to be honest, this is the first time I've seen something like this. Usually, we see Facebook logins failing on a local environment, but working just fine in production.
I was able to overcome exactly the same problem by accessing my facebook developer application account and changing the domain from localhost to the url of my application
I've create an facebook app and it run smoothly at
https://apps.facebook.com/icoloringstar/
But the problem is: when I search my app name "icoloring star" in facebook, it link to the app at url:
https://apps.facebook.com/icoloringstar/?fb_source=search&ref=ts
Then facebook said that:
App "iColoring Star" is unavailable
The app "iColoring Star" is temporarily unavailable due to an issue with its third-party developer. We are investigating the situation and apologize for any inconvenience.
We found that url part "ref=ts" cause above problem, but really do not know why?
Could you explain me why and how to resolve this problem?
Thank you very much.
It sounds like your code is failing when the ref parameter is supplied in the request path.
I was able to repro this with any arbitrary value in the ref parameter when accessing your app
Check your server logs and and see if you're returning a 500 error to facebook when the request comes in
See if you have any code that parses a ref parameter and check it's not throwing exceptions
Make sure your callback URL in the app settings doesn't also specify a ref parameter or your app may receive two values and/or fail entirely
It means 'Top Search'. User enter a query into the top of search.
There are some ref parameters.. ref=bookmarks for example. I dont know the full list.
Did you put your app on Facebook App Center?
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.

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
The title really says it all. Under some (undetermined) conditions FB.getLoginStatus() just stops working and won't invoke the callback I gave it. The only interesting clues I've found are
FB.Auth._loadState is stuck on "loading" -- whatever is supposed to make it click over to "loaded" isn't happening
slight delays like putting in alert() calls tend to make it start working
Any hints at all about even how to investigate this welcome.
This usually happens for me when I am running the page under a different domain from what has been registered in Facebook. Typically this is when I am developing locally.
If you are running locally, you'll have to set up a local web server and then modify your hosts file to point the the registered domain to 127.0.0.1 in order to test on your local machine. Don forget to remove that line from the hosts file when you want to test it on the server.
According to:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/240058389381072
You cannot put your application under sandbox mode, or else it won't work. Go into your app settings, advanced, and switch it. This stumped me for a couple hours until I happened upon the bug report.
I had similar problem with FB API. It turned out, that my Facebook App was misconfigured. Please make sure that this is not the case for you. My problem was that my "Site URL" param in FB application was pointing to https, but I was using http protocol for development. Any call against FB api after FB.init was not calling my callback functions. So the first thing to do should be to double check App config.
Now, if some reason you depend on FB api but you wish to have a fallback option in case it;s inoperative - workaround with timer should be ok for you. Just set up a timer and disable it if FB Api gives you proper response. If not - fallback to some custom function which will perform some additional logic.
function callFbApi() {
var timeoutHandler = setTimeout(function() { requestFailed(); }, 1000);
function requestFailed() {
// When this happens, it means that FB API was unresponsive
doSomeFallbackWork();
alert('hey, FB API does not work!');
}
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
clearTimeout(timeoutHandler); // This will clear the timeout in case of proper FB call
doSomeUsualWorkAfterFbReplies();
return false;
}, true);
}
If your application is in sandbox mode, Facebook acts as if your application is invisible to anyone who is not listed as an application developer. If you're not logged in, then it would stand to reason that your app is now invisible.
The callback will only fire if you're initializing with a visible application. Otherwise the following response is returned:
<span>Application Error: There was a problem getting data for the application you requested. The application may not be valid, or there may be a temporary glitch. Please try again later. </span>
For more info please see my comment on this bug ticket:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/240058389381072
Maybe you are using the asynchronous call. The same thing happened when I called FB.init with window.fbAsyncInit. All I did was delay the FB.getLoginStatus with a setTimeout function
window.setTimeout(checkLogStatus, 1000);
function checkLogStatus(){
alert("check");
// fetch the status on load
FB.getLoginStatus(handleSessionResponse);
}
It seemed to work after that
On the new version of the Developer app, you have to make sure to have put the correct URL you are using to access the application in the Website field under the
Select how your app integrates with Facebook
section.
Make sure the protocol is HTTPS and not HTTP.
I had a similar problem. The site worked every time when I was opening the browser, but fails when I tried to reload.
The cause was the missing "www" on the site name on Facebook configurations. Note that putting "www" (like www.yoursite.com) works on both situations (yoursite.com or www.yoursite.com).
As others have posted, you must be accessing your site at the same URL that facebook expects. For example if facebook has a callback "example.com" but you're browser has "www.example.com", that can cause this problem.
In addition, if third-party cookies are not allowed by your browser, you may also see this problem. Or you may see the callback erroneously reporting the user is not connected.
Just posting a situation I had were calling FB.getLoginStatus got absolutely no response.
My application is designed to run in a tab, and I only entered the Page Tab URLs on the app admin page, and not the App On Facebook (i.e. Canvas) URLs. The tab loads perfectly, but any calls to the FB JS SDK provoke no response.
In Facebook App Settings, go to Client OAuth Settings, look at Valid OAuth redirect URIs
Make sure you have listed all URIs which are the domains from which Facebook SDK is being invoked. For example:
I develop at localhost:5000 and deploy to Heroku. Notice the format: http://domain.name/
