When using ads manager, you can preview ad. There is also a hyperlink which goes View post permalink with comments. Is there any way to get that link using API
First you must get the creative that's targeted by the ad.
$ad = new Ad($ad_id);
$ad->read(array(
AdFields::CREATIVE,
));
Then get the info from the creative.
$creative = new AdCreative($ad->creative['id']);
$creative->read(array(
AdCreativeFields::EFFECTIVE_OBJECT_STORY_ID,
));
Then $creative->effective_object_story_id will contain an ID that would look like xxxxxxxxxxxxx_yyyyyyyyyyyyy, where x is the ID of the page, and y is the id of the post/video/etc.
If you just go to https://facebook.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxx_yyyyyyyyyyyyy it should redirect you to the correct post
Hope this helps someone.

I know how to make a post to a Facebook page via the API using PHP SDK, that is done like this:
$facebook->api('/xxxxxxxxxxx/feed', 'post', array('message'=> 'Hello world!', 'cb' => ''));
Where xxxxxxxxxxx is page id ;)
But doing that, I post to that page as me, Jamie, and not as the Page itself (admin).
So how do I post as Admin/Page instead of myself?
Thanks you for your time!
ANSWER (for lazy people):
First of all you need to make sure you have access to manage pages for user, ex:
<fb:login-button autologoutlink="true" perms="manage_pages"></fb:login-button>
Now you also gets a special token for every page user have access to once you get them.
PHP SDK Example:
//Get pages user id admin for
$fb_accounts = $facebook->api('/me/accounts');
//$fb_accounts is now an array
//holding all data on the pages user is admin for,
//we are interested in access_token
//We save the token for one of the pages into a variable
$access_token = $fb_accounts['data'][0]['access_token'];
//We can now update a Page as Admin
$facebook->api('/PAGE_ID/feed', 'post', array('message'=> 'Hello!', 'access_token' => $access_token, 'cb' => ''));
Check out this note regarding your question: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api > Authorization > Page impersonation.
Long story short, you need the manage_pages extended permission.
And btw, have you checked this first ?
I have already managed to get all the basic information from the user but I have no idea how to retrieve his/her profile picture.
me = facebook.get('/me?fields=id,name,first_name,last_name,age_range,link,gender,locale,timezone,updated_time,verified,friends,email')
Can you please provide some hints? I am using Python Flask and OAuth.
Try adding 'picture' to your list of parameters
With OAtuh and Facebook Graph you can use this, like you see this code is C# based, but you just need to check the requests URL's:
request = WebRequest.Create("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/me/picture?access_token=" + Uri.EscapeDataString(authorization.AccessToken));
using (var response = request.GetResponse())
{
myImageBoxOrSomethingThatAcceptUrl.PictureUrl = response.ResponseUri.AbsoluteUri;
}
I'm new to the Facebook Ads Python SDK and am trying to create an ad that will display on mobile and desktop news feeds. Reviewing the web flow to create an ad, to show up in a feed, the ad needs to be related to a Facebook page. I manage a Facebook page, but am not sure where I need to input the FB page info.
I've reviewed the documentation and getting started examples, however the getting started is about a page post ad, so not relevant to me. I assumed "Placements" would be relevant but nothing I find there is helpful either. I also looked at Connection objects but that also seemed a dead end.
The code I've got runs and creates ads that are right column ads. I've tried adding "page_types: ['feed']" to AdSet targeting but that returns an error saying that placement is ineligible for this ad.
Could someone point me in the right direction on how to create an ad that will show up in the desktop news feed? Meat of the code is below.
`
# create campaign
campaign = AdCampaign(parent_id=config['act_account_id'])
campaign[AdCampaign.Field.name] = 'Test Campaign'
campaign[AdCampaign.Field.status] = AdCampaign.Status.paused
campaign[AdCampaign.Field.objective] = AdCampaign.Objective.website_clicks
campaign.remote_create()
# create adset
targeting = {
#'page_types': ['feed'],
'geo_locations': {
'cities': [{'key': '2532348', 'radius': 25, 'distance_unit': 'mile'}]
}
}
data = {
AdSet.Field.name: 'My Python SDK AdSet',
AdSet.Field.bid_type: AdSet.BidType.cpc,
AdSet.Field.is_autobid: True,
AdSet.Field.status: AdSet.Status.active,
AdSet.Field.lifetime_budget: 500,
AdSet.Field.end_time: '2015-06-4 23:59:59 PDT',
AdSet.Field.campaign_group_id: config['campaign_id'],
AdSet.Field.targeting: targeting,
}
adset = AdSet(parent_id=config['act_account_id'])
adset.remote_create(params=data)
# Set up creative for ad
image = AdImage(parent_id=config['act_account_id'])
image[AdImage.Field.filename] = image_filename
image.remote_create()
creative = AdCreative(parent_id=config['act_account_id'])
creative[AdCreative.Field.name] = 'sample creative'
creative[AdCreative.Field.title] = 'ad headline'
creative[AdCreative.Field.body] = 'ad text'
creative[AdCreative.Field.object_url] = 'www.http://www.misc-url.com'
creative[AdCreative.Field.image_hash] = image[AdImage.Field.hash]
creative.remote_create()
# Create your ad by referencing the ad creative.
adgroup = AdGroup(parent_id=config['act_account_id'])
adgroup[AdGroup.Field.name] = 'Testing SDK Ad'
adgroup[AdGroup.Field.campaign_id] = config['adset_id']
adgroup[AdGroup.Field.creative] = {'creative_id': str(creative_id)}
adgroup[AdGroup.Field.status] = AdGroup.Status.paused
adgroup.remote_create()
`
There is an api call to create a page post at the time of ad creation:

I need to build a server which would get the public feed details of various companies/ brands. For example, I should be able to get the feed for last one week for Cocacola (facebook.com/cocacolaindia) , Pepsi, Levis etc. Since I am only looking for public feeds I thought I dont need to use OAuth for authorization but I see no other way to get this info. For example - i tried below code but none of last three ways works.
String acessTok = "{my app id}|{app seceret key}"; //App level token
Facebook facebook = new FacebookTemplate(acessTok);
FacebookProfile profile = facebook.userOperations().getUserProfile("cocacolaIndia");
Page page = facebook.pageOperations().getPage("cocacolaIndia");
List<Post> list= facebook.feedOperations().getFeed("cocacolaIndia");
Is there a way out ? I can use httpurl to call http://graph.facebook.com/ and
parse the json but then would need my own api's to get different fields which I don't want to do..
You can use an App Access Token. Here's some RestFB example.
AccessToken accessToken = new DefaultFacebookClient().obtainAppAccessToken(MY_APP_ID, MY_APP_SECRET);
Now you can build your FacebookClient with this new access token.
With fetchConnection you can fetch the public posts from the desired "fanpage".
I had the same Problem.
I was trying to access the public Posts of an Facebook Page only with the AppId and AppSecret.
The following worked for me:
private Facebook facebook;
...
this.facebook = new FacebookTemplate("{AppId}|{AppSecret}");
...
Collection<Post> posts =this.facebook.feedOperations().getPosts("{PageId}");
I hope this is helpful.
Is there a way to add user-data (a number or a string) and use it while querying posts from the stream of that page ?
Essentially I am trying to make posts with certain attributes on a Facebook page thru an App and would like to query the stream (newsfeed) on that page using FQL or Graph API and just select the specific posts based on the attributes added to the posts.
SELECT post_id FROM stream WHERE **user_data** ='tag-specified-with-post' app_id='APP_ID'.
Thanks for your help.
Use FQL to get posts from your app. This query will get posts made in the account of the user by the Photos app:
SELECT app_id, post_id, actor_id, target_id, message FROM stream WHERE filter_key ='owner' AND is_hidden = 0 AND app_id='YOUR_APP_ID'
Replace that app_id with yours. And replace filter_key with 'others' to get other people's posts that the user can view.
