I am trying to access workplace data using Facebook Workplace API. I am the System Administrator for the workplace. Still I dont get the CommunityId in the Custom Integrations page.
Has anyone come across this same situation? Any suggestions would be great !!
You can find your Community ID by making a Graph API GET call to graph.facebook.com/community with a custom integration access token (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/workplace/integrations/custom-integrations/reference/community)

I’m working on an application that is going to leverage the Facebook (Meta) Marketing API to retrieve ad campaign insights. I don’t have any real life data to work with so I was hoping to use ‘simulated insights’ aka mock data which was referred to as a future feature in a 2017 article about the Marketing API sandbox mode. Has anybody been able to get simulated insights working? I’ve setup a sandbox account and don’t receive any insights which I somewhat expected without any special arguments or specific endpoint to call. Any help is greatly appreciated
I'm looking for the right approach to solve the following problem:
For my own non-business Instagram account I like to read which accounts follow me and which accounts like and comment my posts.
I read about the old and the new API, about API deprecation etc. Now I'm unsure which approach shall I choose?
Instagram Platform API
Graph API
other approach like browser automation (e.g. InstaPy)
Instagram/Facebook says "If you are building apps for Instagram Non-Business Accounts, please use the Instagram Platform API". But the process to get an account seams to be complicated. And as I understand until 2020 Instagram will deprecate this API completely.
Additionally as I understand the sandbox mode doesn't help me, since it is restricted and won't show the real results.
From what I can tell, you should use the Instagram Platform API. I think you're right that the Graph API is only for servicing Business Accounts.
I'm in the same boat. I made an app that lets users sign in with their own non-business accounts. Setup OAuth flow using the old API, which works in sandbox.
However, I submitted for approval this week and haven't heard anything. There's no way to contact Instagram or know how long it will take to get approved.
I personally have some experience with InstaPy and I can tell you that it is used mainly for directly interacting with said accounts. You can follow, comment, like, etc... on these accounts that follow you but actually accessing a list of all of them would be more tricky. That's why I wouldn't recommend browser automation for the goal you have set out for.
i facing an issue regarding the FaceBook Graph API.
actually a friend of me, have an FB App whitch can be used for the Graph API.
But in that case I activate a FB dev APP for myself, i'm not able to generate a valid security Token with the App-ID and App-Security.
At first the App is live and activated. For that I don't understand the error message at the end.
Second I don't want to have a User-Token with a validation for an hour.
These are the step's i following:
getting App Token
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token? client_id=20179479xxxxxx&client_secret=3048xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&grant_type=client_credentials
The result i'm receving:
"access_token": "20179479xxxxxxx|Pqxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
Now if im trying to use the Graph API Explorer and trying these token as authentication, I'm facing an #200 OAuthexception
my request:
Get -> /v2.12/coca-cola
"(#200) Access to this data is temporarily disabled for non-active apps or apps that have not recently accessed this data due to changes we are making to the Facebook Platform. https://developers.facebook.com/status/issues/205942813488872/",
Have somebody any ideas how to solve or what i'm missing here?
With the Security Token from my friend he can use the example with coca-cola from the developer like in the documentation and example from FaceBook as well.
Thanks in advance
Facebook is changing the API due to a security issue. This means new apps have more restrictions and less access (for the minute) than apps that were already registered and using the API, probably why your friends key works. Seen as your app is either new or hasn't recently accessed the data you are requesting, you currently cannot fetch it.
Its not known what features will be removed from the API following this incident - as a result I wouldn't come to rely to heavily on any feature the API offers.
Im hearing that the ability to retrieve events could either be removed or the data you can access from an event is going to be severely limited, however thats not from any official facebook source. All apps will be subjected to a review according to this official facebook post, before they are granted access to the Events API, Groups API, and Pages API.
I think i dug through the whole facebook sdk documentation but can't seem to find the way to get the users Phone number or Address. Is this feature removed, as of spoken in this thread where it's suggested it will be re-enabled in a few weeks (2011).
This information is not available via the Facebook APIs and will not be added anytime soon. If you want this information from the user you should prompt them for it after they have logged into your application using Facebook.
Here's a link to Facebook's APIs:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/
You can use the graph API explorer to gain a clearer understanding of what information is and isn't available.
I'm using MonoTouch (latest version) and I want to be able to allow the user of my app to make a wall post based on a log entry made in this app. All I need is a simple implementation so that the user can tap "Share on Facebook" (UIActionSheet) and then it logs them into Facebook (shows the login) and returns the token which I can then use to make the WebRequest to post to their wall.
I've seen the MonoTouch bindings on github but have no idea how to use it. Can someone please provide a simple sample of how to just login to Facebook to retrieve a token so I can post. I know how to do the post, it's the auth process that I'm not getting right.
Thank you.

Neal,
I have added a sample that replicates about half of the Facebook sample here:
https://github.com/mono/monotouch-bindings/tree/master/facebook/sample
I would recommend to use client-side javascript login more than native device login.
Sooner or later you might want an Android, Windows Phone or even Facebook version.
Having an In-App browser wrapper to deal with javascript and direct Graph API calls are easier for cross-platform implementation. Just from my personal experience.
