I'm trying to find user name by user id like this:
FB.api('/' + userId, .....)
but I get error that I need access token.
I tried passing it like this:
FB.api('/' + userId + '?access_token=' + FB.getAuthResponse(), ...)
but this time I got 'invalid token' error.
Is this (obtaining other user's names by their ids) possible at all?
Use a User Token for the ID. You can just forget about the ID in the API call and use /me instead:
FB.api('/me', {fields: 'id,name'}, (response) => {
console.log(response);
});
Btw, you do not need to add the Access Token in your API call, the JavaScript SDK handles that for you. Just use FB.login to authorize your User.
For example: http://www.devils-heaven.com/facebook-javascript-sdk-login/
Btw, getting data of users who did not authorize your App is not possible at all, for privacy reasons.

I am trying to get a Facebook page feed through Google app script.
As of now I tried different scripts but I am getting only app token with the request and if i change it with a usertoken from graph api I got messages but no images and titles
How to get the user token and get the correct fields for as a json ,
var url = 'https://graph.facebook.com'
+ '/love.to.traavel/feed'
+ '?access_token='+ encodeURIComponent(getToken());
// + '?access_token=' + service.getAccessToken();
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {'muteHttpExceptions': true});
var json = response.getContentText();
var jsondata = JSON.parse(json);
Logger.log(jsondata); //check this and adjust following for loop and ht
var posts = {};
for (var i in jsondata) {
posts[i] = {"post":jsondata[i].message};
}
return posts;
You should use a Page Token, not a User Token
You need to ask for fields you want to get, with the fields parameter: https://graph.facebook.com/love.to.traavel/feed?fields=field1,field2,...&access_token=xxx
You get a user token by authorizing your App: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/platforms
Be aware that extended user tokens are valid for 60 days only, so you have to refresh it once in a while. There is no user token that is valid forever. You cannot authorize through code only, it needs user interaction. The easiest way is to just generate a user token by selecting your App in the API Explorer and authorize it, like you did already. Then hardcode it in the script code.
Alternatively, you can try implementing this with the manual login flow, check out the docs for that. You can try adding the functionality using this for a custom interface where you go through the login process: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/html/
Since you don´t own the page, you should read this too: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/feature/#reference-PAGES_ACCESS
I have a problem when I use the Facebook Checkbox Plugin in order to connect my users to a Facebook chatbot. When they click and the checkbox is checked, I get their user reference, and sending him/her a message, I get the user page-scoped id.
Using this user page-scoped id, I should be able to get the user app-scoped id, that I need to get more information from this user.
In order to to this, I use the facebook Matching API, and it works great for my administrator user, but as soon as I login using any other user, even if it is registered as a developer, the data that I get from the matching API is empty.
[https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/identity/id-matching]
Anybody has an idea about what could be happening here? My app is live (not approved), and I believe the permissions and tokens are right... If there is a problem, it should be about tokens, but I'm not sure about this.
Here, some of my code:
const accessToken = config.facebook.unlimitedPageAccessToken;
const clientSecret = config.facebook.clientSecret;
const appsecretProof = CryptoJS.HmacSHA256(accessToken, clientSecret).toString(CryptoJS.enc.Hex);
request({
url: 'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.10/'+ recipientId +'/ids_for_apps',
qs: { access_token: accessToken, appsecret_proof: appsecretProof }
}, function (error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
body = JSON.parse(body);
console.log("data --> " + JSON.stringify(body, null, 4));
const userAppId = body.data[0].id;
return userAppId;
} else {
console.error("Error trying to translate ID's.");
}
});
As I said, when I log in with any other user than the administrator, I get this:
{
"data": []
}
For every Facebook page, a user has a different psid. So until you get that page scoped id, you won't be able to send them a message. So may be what you can do is link the users to the page first to initialize the conversation.
I am using Facebook as external login of ASP.Net Core identity.
I would like, even if the user logged in with Facebook, the user to fill his profile on the website.
For that I use the ExternalLoginCallback method, from which I would like to get data from Facebook such as date of birth, location (country), ...
One issue is if the user unchecked some of the permissions, the default call to Facebook fails:
var info = await _signInManager.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync();
if (info == null)
return RedirectToAction(nameof(Login));
// Sign in the user with this external login provider if the user already has a login.
var result = await _signInManager.ExternalLoginSignInAsync(info.LoginProvider, info.ProviderKey, isPersistent: false);
I would also need to do some additional checks on user data, which would require calling directly the Graph API.
My blocking points:
- In the ExternalLoginCallback method, I would need to separate the 'country' and 'birthday' to avoid the Facebook API to return an error in case of the user didn't grant the permission
- For that I would need the the user access_token (and for additional calls in the method), I don't see how to get it even if it is used by the Facebook Identity framework
- Once the profile created, I would like to get access to this access_token, which should be stored in the UserTokens table (I guess?), but I can't find it there, the table is empty. (my DbContext is a class extending IdentityDbContext<AppUser, AppRole, long>, don't know if it has an impact)
I have found this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/42670559/4881677 which may help, but not sufficient.
Any help? :)
In order to store the user Facebook token, it requires to specify it in the options (not stored by default).
var fo = new FacebookOptions();
fo.SaveTokens = true;
From there we can call the graph method permissions to get the available permissions: https://graph.facebook.com/me/permissions?access_token={token}
Then it can be read with something like this:
foreach (var perm in data)
{
perms.Add((string)perm["permission"], (string)perm["status"]);
}
How can i get the user id from facebook url and get the basic info ?
This will be possible if i use the http://www.facebook.com/[username] '
In order to get the ID of a Facebook User, you need to authorize the User: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/
After that, you will get an "App Scoped ID" for that User with this API endpoint: https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=[user-token]
It is NOT possible to get the ID of a user by his username (or URL). Scraping is not allowed on Facebook - that i what some platforms do. But you do not need that ID anyway, you can just use the App Scoped ID instead.
I getting back into Python and wanted to use the pyfoursquare package to access the Foursquare API. I'm trying to get information about venues using the venues method in the API class. I'm primarily trying to find out whether a venue page is verified with Foursquare or not. When I provide my client id, client secret, and venue id I keep getting back an error that states "Authentication required", which doesn't makes sense because I'm providing that information. Any help would be great. Thank you.
import pyfoursquare as foursquare
client_id = ""
client_secret = ""
callback = ""
auth = foursquare.OAuthHandler(client_id, client_secret, callback)
api = foursquare.API(auth)
result = api.venues("4e011a3e62843b639cfa9449")
print result[0].name
Let me know if you would like to see the error message. Thanks again.
I believe you are skipping the step of grabbing your OAuth2 access token, so you're not technically authenticated.
Have a look at the following instructions, under "How to Use It":
https://github.com/marcelcaraciolo/foursquare
The lines that might be useful to you are:
#First Redirect the user who wish to authenticate to.
#It will be create the authorization url for your app
auth_url = auth.get_authorization_url()
print 'Please authorize: ' + auth_url
#If the user accepts, it will be redirected back
#to your registered REDIRECT_URI.
#It will give you a code as
#https://YOUR_REGISTERED_REDIRECT_URI/?code=CODE
code = raw_input('The code: ').strip()
#Now your server will make a request for
#the access token. You can save this
#for future access for your app for this user
access_token = auth.get_access_token(code)
print 'Your access token is ' + access_token
