I want automatically collect data from fb ad account with marketing api.
There is an facebook app, which has access to advertising account (with access level = development). App has product 'Marketing API'.
Got access_token (app_id|token) like this:
GET https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=<app_id>&client_secret=<secret>7&grant_type=client_credentials
When i try insights method
GET https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/act_<ad_account_id>/insights/?access_token=<access_token>
i got an error
"message": "Unsupported get request.", "type": "GraphMethodException", "code": 100
Try to generate not app token, but user token of someone who has access to that ad account.

I'm trying to use this endpoint from the Instagram graph api:
GET /ig_hashtag_search?user_id={user-id}&q={q}
Documentation for this endpoint can be found here.
I'm running this GET request:
https://graph.facebook.com/v14.0/ig_hashtag_search?q=coke&transport=cors&user_id=<my_user_id>&access_token=<my_access_token>&q=coke
and get this as response:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#200) Requires instagram_basic permission to manage the object",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200,
}
}.
The user id comes from my instagram account and the access_token that I'm using is a User token generated with "Graph API explorer" and I can see that this token has the scope "instagram_basic" when using the "Access Token Debugger".
I can't understand why this does not work? Do I really need to submit a API review just to test the hashtag endpoint during development?
Please help!
I guess sometimes App review team of Facebook doesn't know what is the usage of the permission so they just decline the submissions randomly. I got that permission like 3 months ago and i checked my app review. I send them this text
We are going to use instagram_basic to read an Instagram account profile's info and media. We will get the basic metadata of an Instagram Business account profile like "USERNAME", "ID", "FOLLOWERS", "FOLLOWING". You can check the Screescast to see how we use the instagram_basic on our app.
Here is what they saw while they do the app review
Also be careful while you send requests, keep in mind to change it to development mode. Some of the endpoints works only in live mode. The API still changes a lot and there are tons of bugs i see in my project. I hope this helps.
I'm currently playing inside the Graph API Explorer to retrieve some data from the Instagram API. My app is set up in Facebook Developer. All I want is to retrieve followers_count from a given username.
Inside the Graph API Explorer, I have connected my App, have an access token, and set up permissions per the Instagram API Reference page (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/ig-user/).
When I run my query inside the tool I'm getting an error that says I'm still missing permissions:
"message": "(#100) Missing permissions",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 100,
I currently have set some extra permissions just to see if perhaps their documentation isn't up-to-date but still no luck:
read_insights
pages_show_list
business_management
instagram_basic
instagram_manage_insights
pages_read_engagement
Have you tried adding pages_read_user_content and pages_read_engagement
While working with the Facebook Workplace API liking an object (post, comment, photo..etc) can be done by passing the Admin Access Token, I'm trying to figure out how to do it on behalf on the user for a feed / comment posted into a group.
The docs mention getting the Page Access Token to perform this action but a Group doesn't have an Access Token & doesn't really solve what I'm going for anyway.
I've tried getting the User Impersonation Token from the API using the Admin Token but posting to the likes graph endpoint results in a publishing error.
POST /https://graph.facebook.com/{COMMENT-ID or POST-ID}/likes
HEADERS: Authorization Bearer "{IMPERSONATION-TOKEN}"
Error Response:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#3) Publishing likes through the API is only available for page access tokens",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 3,
"fbtrace_id": "CGpXtFWrwiA"
}
}
Again this works fine using the Admin App Access Token but not on behalf of the user. Also a group doesn't have an access token unlike a regular FB Page.
Any help on this would be great!
I'm trying to list the Ads for a Facebook Page using the Graph API /{page-id}/ads_posts endpoint, but I get a permissions when I try to.
Using the Graph API Explorer, I generate an Page Access Token with those permissions: email, read_insights, manages_pages, pages_show_list, ads_read, business_management, instagram_basic, instagram_manage_insights and public_profile.
I'm an admin on the Page itself, the attached Business Manager and on the corresponding Ad Account.
Every time I try to call the /{page-id}/ads_posts, I receive
{
"error": {
"message": "(#200) Not enough permission to call this endpoint",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200,
"fbtrace_id": "XXXXX"
}
}
I can't find any help on the Facebook documentation or Google, given that the error isn't really meaningful (in some cases, I get a message saying that a specific permissions is missing, but not here). Anyone can help ?
EDIT: I tried to add the ads_management permission too, without success.
You need to add those pages to your app that is in development mode (https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=business_tools).
I am developing an android app. I was using a HttpURLConnection to get profile pictures of facebook users. The URL looks like this:
http://graph.facebook.com/?ids=username1,username2,username3&fields=picture&type=square
But now, since v2.2 doesn't let me to get profile pictures of users who are not using my facebook app, it throws an error:
{ "error": {
"message": "(#803) Cannot query users by their username (username1)",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 803 } }
I am not interested in using "Facebook SDK for Android". Let's say I use a pop-up webview to authorize my facebook app. What url would let me do the same thing? Is there a simple solution like this:
graph.facebook.com/?app=APP-ID&ids=username1,username2&fields=picture
Since v2.0 of the API, you are not supposed to use usernames at all - and that´s why you can´t query users by their username anymore. The only way to get access to data of a user is by authorizing that user and using the /me endpoint.
Main rule: Forget about users who did not authorize your App, you are not supposed to get any data of those for privacy reason.
