In Graph API Explorer I am trying to fetch the list of campaigns for an ad account like so:
act_#/campaigns
At the moment the ad account only has draft campaigns and the request above returns an empty array, like so:
{
"data": [
]
}
Is there a way to also list the items in draft?
Thanks for the help :)

We have a Facebook Shop and a Business Page, and are using Facebook Graph API to create Photo posts on the Business Page using the Javascript SDK running in a browser. How do you include the tagged Product in the Create Photo request?
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/photo/ mentions a tags field you can pass which is described as "Tags on this photo", however it has a tag_uid "The user_id of the tagged person". Is this tags field how you are supposed to tag a product?
A similar question from 2017 was not answered and is so old I thought I'd post a new one: Publish new facebook post with tagged product
What we've tried so far
To get a list of our products, we can use GET ${businessId}/owned_product_catalogs to retrieve a list of catalogs, and then GET ${productCatId/products with a filter: '{"custom_label_0":{"eq":"something_to_match"}}' to get a specific product in the catalog. So now we have the ID of a product we want to tag e.g. "4378279312278116". (we happen to use custom_label_x fields meaningfully, of course the filter could have been something else but this works for us)
To create the photo post, we can POST /${account.id}/photos with a payload like:
{ caption: 'Test caption',
url: image_url,
access_token: account.access_token,
tags: [
{
tag_uid: "4378279312278116",
tag_text: 'Test tag',
x: 10, y: 10
}
]
}
This request completes OK and does post the photo, but nothing is tagged on it when we view it on our page.
Trying to read the photo with GET ${photo_id} only returns basic infomation fields created_time, id, name. I can't see how to read further fields on the photo object to check if the tags data was associated with it correctly.
Any advice please?
In this topic https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/audiences-api in part "Custom Audiences from CRM Data" mentioned that I can use Page Scoped User IDs to create custom audience.
What schema type I must specify to use PSIDs? Is it possible now from API?
It looks like you can use this format when you post the the /user endpoint of a custom audience:
{
payload: {
schema: ["PAGEUID"],
is_raw: true,
page_ids: ["323209841097806"],
data: [
["10208379178770401"],
["10208379178770402"],
["10208379178770403"],
["10208379178770404"],
["10208379178770405"]
]
}
}
I am working on some data analysis regarding beverage manufacturers in the US and would like to grab posts from the company facebook pages to mine some data using the standard facebook graph API. I am new to the facebook API and I am hoping to get some clarifications here that I can't find in the developer docs.
For a simple example lets look at 2 companies FB pages:
https://www.facebook.com/CocaColaUnitedStates
https://www.facebook.com/BellsBreweryInc
Now per the API documentation, I should be able to retrieve the posts on those public company pages via a URL as follows:
https://graph.facebook.com/COMPANYFBNAMEHERE/feed?access_token=MYTOKEN
or
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/COMPANYFBNAMEHERE/feed?access_token=MYTOKEN
This works for CocaCola: https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/CocaColaUnitedStates/feed?access_token=MYTOKEN
This returns data as I would expect:
{
"data": [
{
"message": "The French \"yes! yes! yes!\" sounds like \"we! we! we!\" (lettered \"oui.\") \"C'est la vie\" sounds like (homonym) \"say LOVIE\" (like lovie dovie).\n\nSong of (rather than \"by\") Robbie Nevil: C'est La Vie\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGtf9QfITQw",
"created_time": "2016-02-06T02:52:17+0000",
"id": "820882001277849_452698638250376"
},
etc....
However when I try this for Bell's: https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/BellsBreweryInc/feed?access_token=MYTOKEN
I get this:
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100,
"fbtrace_id": "AWTxWye6vub"
}
}
I am not understanding why I am getting an error on Bell's page? It's a publicly available company FB page, so I can't imagine it's a restriction, but I can't understand why it wouldn't be returning the posts like CocaCola?
It sounds like the owner of the token you are using is below the legal drinking age. BellsBreweryInc is a page in the alcohol category so no data will be returned for users under the legal age. This is something BellsBreweryInc would have set in their page settings.
Age restircted websites require a user access token from a user account that meets the page requirements. I was using an app access token which is why it didn't work.
I needed to log into my account and generate a user access token and use that token in the URL.
Also, just realized that token expires in a couple hours. Anyone wanting to do this may also want to read this: How to extend facebook access token in python
I'd like to scrape some user's posts from Facebook. Posts are visible in browser, when I'm logged in and I am looking at http://fb.com/username URL. But when I'm trying to access the same feed using Graph API Explorer (https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/username/feed) I'm getting:
"error": {
"message": "(#803) Cannot query users by their username (username)",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 803
}
If I try to use id instead of username (http://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/userid/feed) I'm getting empty JSON in response:
{
"data": [
]
}
So, is there a way to get the user's feed using Graph API? Or do I have to imitate a web browser and parse HTML then?
You are not supposed to grab the feed of any user, public or not. You need to authorize a user with user_posts to get access to his feed - and his feed only.
Also, usernames are not available in the Graph API anymore, you need to use an App Scoped ID now. You get that when you authorize the user.
Btw, scraping is not allowed at all: https://www.facebook.com/apps/site_scraping_tos_terms.php
Im trying to inquire an open and public group by using the graph API
https://graph.facebook.com/396697410351933/feed?{TOKEN}
So far so good and i'm receiving a json with the latest posts
is there any way to get only specific user post by using the from.id value
"from": {
"id": "123456",
"name": "XXXX"
},
somthing like that
https://graph.facebook.com/396697410351933/feed?{TOKEN}&id=123456
thanks,
miki
There's currently no way to filter this via the Graph API. If you have access to a Graph API v2.0 app, you could use FQL to filter as you desire. Be aware that FQL will be deprecated in August 2016.
See
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/stream/
Try actor_id as the ID of the person which posted the post, and source_id as the group id.
Sample query:
select actor_id, message, created_time from stream where source_id=396697410351933 and actor_id=10152352765098713
