How can I get the events from a creator (user or page) without FQL?
When I enter the ID's below I get a response but when I enter '328438627327927/events' in the graph explorer I get an empty array. What am I doing wrong?
ID public event = 1578821392346618
ID user (creator) = 328438627327927
From what i've seen , since API ver 2.0, getting events by creator only works for pages, not users(unless they use your application and gave you permission).
I guess it is a privacy matter.

My task is to get photo data of my business Instagram account with Instagram Graph API. I followed the instruction from Instagram Graph API -
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/user/media
, which said request like
GET http://graph.facebook.com/17841405822304914/media
can get photo data from the Instagram account linked to the FB account in JSON format.
I tried to send GET request /my_facebook_id/media as said by the document with Graph API Explorer on FB developer platform but it failed to return the data I want.
This is the error I got:
message: Tried accessing nonexisting field (media) on node type (User)
type: OAuthException code: 100
Does the message mean the media field doesn't exist in the FB user?
What is the meanIng of error code 100? I can't even see that in FB official document.
I tried to use the Instagram business account ID for this request but I got an error message said the user object doesn't exist
How to get the task done? Thanks!
I guess you have missed creating a Facebook business page and linking your Instagram Business account to it.
Here is the guide to setup : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/getting-started
If this was done correctly and still you're facing the error is because of a Facebook bug where your account doesn't get linked correctly.
Here : https://developers.facebook.com/support/bugs/177912116363088/?disable_redirect=0
Solution : Please disconnect your Instagram account from your page. Then, on Instagram app, in setting you will have to switch back to personal account and reconvert to a business account
Note : Switching to a personal account you will lose the insights of your media.
Once this is done you should be able to get instagram_business_account and post which you can run your query to fetch the media :
GET http://graph.facebook.com/you-instagram-business-account-id/media
Im making an application on Phonegap, and therefore using javascript. I have added the facebook plugin, and everything seems to work fine. The user can log in and make app requests to friends using the FB.ui:
FB.ui({method: 'apprequests',
message: 'Try this application, and get ready to Guess This Sound!'
}, requestCallback);
The dialog pop up, and when I send an invitation my requestCallback method return OK
function requestCallback(response){
alert("response " + response);
}
However, my friends do not receive any notification about the request. My application is no longer i sandbox mode, and I can't figure out whats the problem is. Since Im using phonegap, I have added ios and android platform on facebook, and I guess no canvas URL is needed.
UPDATE
Some users do now receive the notifications from the application, but not everyone.However, when my friend clicks on the notification he receive this message: "The requested page can not be viewed right now. It could be temporary unavailable." Is it because my application is not available on google play and app store for the moment?
You have to Add app in your developer account
facebook -> Apps -> "You app" -> Setting -> add platform -> App on Facebook -> Add any URl
Now you will get app request notification
The problem was due to wrong set up in facebook developer API. The error still remains, but is because the app is not released yet. To see the solution to this, see:
Facebook invite request error android
My app started failing to post items on friends' feeds.
I am getting this error:
Facebook request error: The operation couldn’t be completed.
(facebookErrDomain error 10000.), details: Error Domain=facebookErrDomain Code=10000 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (facebookErrDomain error 10000.)" UserInfo=0xa26e990 {error={
code = 200;
message = "(#200) Feed story publishing to other users is disabled for this application";
type = OAuthException;
}}
I didn't change anything in the app. Maybe it is related with Facebook upgrade?
These are the permissions that I connect to Facebook with:
[appDelegate.facebook authorize:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"publish_stream", #"friends_birthday", nil]];
Yes, this was announced months ago and took effect on Feb 6th 2013:
Removing ability to post to friends walls via Graph API
We will remove the ability to post to a user's friends' walls via the Graph API. Specifically, posts against [user_id]/feed where [user_id] is different from the session user, or stream.publish calls where the target_id user is different from the session user, will fail. If you want to allow people to post to their friends' timelines, invoke the feed dialog. Stories that include friends via user mentions tagging or action tagging will show up on the friend’s timeline (assuming the friend approves the tag). For more info, see this blog post.
The workaround is to use the Feed Dialog which allows users to post the same content, but choose the user they want to post it to.
I am working with facebook graph api rsvp_event. I am using javascript SDK. Everything works great when the user is logged in. But when the user is not logged in, it gives an error.
I need information about who is attending a public event. I now understand that I would need an access token to retrieve this information. So, my question is how do I get the access token if no user is logged in? Is it impossible or is there a workaround? Could it be done server side using app_id and client_secret?
I am developing a ColdFusion page, but I can use PHP if needed. I have support for both.
I have heard the term *offline_access_permission*. They have removed this feature. Could it be done when it was still available?
EDIT:
Could this be achieved by test user? Say, on server side I login via test user, get the event information (Just a "get" request to read who is attending an event) and then log off. On the client side I do the rest ( user login, rsvp to an event).
I don't know much about "test user" or its purpose. Can anyone confirm whether this can be achieved or not?
Thanks in advance.
Are you sure you actually need the user's access token? According to documentation here you may need:
- a generic access_token for public events (those whose privacy is set to OPEN)
- a user access_token for a user who can see the event for non-public events
- an app access_token (for non-public events, must be the app that created the event)
- a page access_token (for non-public events, must be the page that created the event)
You can get info on how to get those tokens here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/concepts/login/access-tokens-and-types/
A good idea could be to store the attending users (in the DB) when you have access to the event - when some user is logged in.
UPDATE for getting the data from FileContent.
I don't know what API response exactly you are referring to, but from my experience they are returning data:
- serialized using JSON - you need to use DeserializeJSON(), for example like this:
local.returnStruct = DeserializeJSON( local.requestResult.FileContent );
or
local.returnStruct = DeserializeJSON( local.requestResult.FileContent.toString() );
send as something similar to URI. I'm using a function to get that data:
function getStructFromQueryString( queryString ) {
var ret = StructNew();
var i = 0;
var key = '';
for(i=1; i LTE ListLen(arguments.queryString,'&'); i++) {
key = ListGetAt(arguments.queryString, i, '&');
ret[ListFirst(key,'=')] = URLDecode(ListLast(key,"="));
}
return ret;
}
Basically what you want is a refresh token that can get access tokens when the user is offline, unfortunately facebook does not provide them anymore as far as i know.
To learn more about oauth2 pleas play around with https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/ its a very nice tool to understand the oauth2 process.
How to post a message on the wall of facebook or add comment to the thread using a graph api.I want a url of that.
like for adding a message to wall
https://graph.facebook.com/profile_id/feed?access_token=generated token&message=hi
But it not working ,it not get added to my wall.
You need to add &method=post to your request URL. Also, you must have the `publish_stream extended permission for your application.
https://graph.facebook.com/user_id/feed?method=post&message=hi&access_token=generatedtoken.. will work
instead of profile id give the user id
Hope this will work
