I am requesting https://graph.facebook.com/me/activities having user_activities permission, but it always return empty data response:
{ "data": [] }
What I am doing wrong?
Ensure that there are
Activities listed in the user profile
The permission is indeed set, check with /me/permissions
You aren't setting it in your app settings, it needs to be set in code

I'm looking for a way to fetch Media Insights metrics in Instagram Graph API (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/media/insights) with a nested query based on the userId, even when a client switched from a Personal to a Business account.
I use this nested query to fetch all the data I need : https://graph.facebook.com/v3.2/{userId}?fields=followers_count,media{media_type,caption,timestamp,like_count,insights.metric(reach, impressions)} (this part causes the error: insights.metric(reach, impressions) - it works however for an account that has always been a Business one)
However, because some media linked to the userId were posted before the user switched to a Business account, instead of returning the data only for the media posted after, the API returns this error:
{
"error": {
"message": "Invalid parameter",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 100,
"error_data": {
"blame_field_specs": [
[
""
]
]
},
"error_subcode": 2108006,
"is_transient": false,
"error_user_title": "Media Posted Before Business Account Conversion",
"error_user_msg": "The media was posted before the most recent time that the user's account was converted to a business account from a personal account.",
"fbtrace_id": "Gs85pUz14JC"
}
}
Is there a way to know, thru the API, which media were created before and after the account switch from Personal to Business? Or is there a way to fetch the date on which the account was switched?
The only way I currently see to get the data I need is to use the /media edge and query insights for each media until I get an error. Then I would get approximately the date I need. However, this is not optimized at all since we are rate limited to 200 calls per user per hour.
I have the same problem.
For now, I'm Switch between queries (if first have error)
"userId"?fields=id,media.limit(100){insights.metric(reach, impressions)}
"userId"?fields=id,media.limit(100)
I show the user all insights in zero.
I don't know if they're the best alternative, like identify the time of conversion to business and get the post between this range of DateTime
I got the same problem and solved it like this:
Use the nested query just like you did, including insights.metric
If the error appears, do another call without insights.metric - to at least get all other data
For most accounts, it works and there is no additional API call. For the rest, i just cannot get the insights and i have to live with it, i guess - until Facebook/IG fixes the issue.
I got the same problem and solved it like this:
Step1: Convert your Instagram account to a Professional account.
Step2: Then According to Error Post a new post on Instagram and get their Post-ID.
Step3: Then try to get a request using that Post-ID.
{Post-ID}?fields=comments_count,like_count,timestamp,insights.metric(reach,impressions)
curl -i -X GET "https://graph.facebook.com/v12.0/{Post-ID}?fields=comments_count%2Clike_count%2Ctimestamp%2Cinsights.metric(reach%2Cimpressions)&access_token={access_token}"
For more: insights
Here is the relevant logic from a script that can handle this error while still doing a full import. It works by reducing the requested limit to 1 once the error is encountered. It will keep requesting insights until it encounters the error again, then removes insights from the fields and returns to the requested limit.
limit = 50
error_2108006 = False
metrics = 'insights.metric%28impressions%29%2C' # Must be URL encoded for replacement
url = '/PAGE_ID/media?fields=%sid,caption,media_url,media_type&limit=%s' % (metrics, limit)
# While we have more pages
while True:
# Make your API call to Instagram
posts = get_posts_from_instagram(url)
# Check for error 2108006
if posts == 2108006:
# First time getting this error, keep trying to get insights but one by one
if error_2108006 is False:
error_2108006 = True
url = url.replace('limit={}'.format(limit), 'limit=1')
continue
# Not the first time. Strip out insights and return to desired limit.
url = url.replace(metrics, '')
url = url.replace('limit=1', 'limit='.format(limit))
continue
# Do something with the data
for post in posts:
continue
# If there are more pages, fetch the next URL
if 'paging' in posts and 'next' in posts['paging']:
url = posts['paging']['next']
continue
# Done
break
I have been successful in creating a new Account User from following this tutorial: https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/users-POST/#example, and have used the PATCH method to set their status to active on Postman.
I would like to set their role and access_level but I am having trouble doing so. I have followed the link below to try and perform this function, but it requires the user to already be a BIM 360 Project Admin for it to work.
https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/projects-project_id-users-user_id-PATCH/
I also tried following the next link below to add a User to a project, but I am getting errors that I am unsure how to fix.
https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/projects-project_id-users-import-POST/
URI: https://developer.api.autodesk.com/hq/v2/accounts/:account_id/projects/:project_id/users/import

************************************

}
(The id for industry_role is IT).
Error:
{
"code": 1004,
"message": "this user doesn't exist."
}
I am unsure how I am getting this error since the User Id used for x-user-id is the same user_id associated with the email given in the request body. Is there a way to fix this or another method I can use?
The x-user-id header is not for specifying the user to import but rather:
x-user-id
string
In a two-legged authentication context, the app has access to all users specified by the administrator in the SaaS integrations UI. By providing this header, the API call will be limited to act on behalf of only the user specified.
Remove this field if that's not what you intended.
Verify the user id and email match each other via /GET users and /GET users:userid.
And be sure to provide either the user's email or the user ID and don't provide them both:
Note that you need to specify either an email, or a user_id. However, you cannot specify both.

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"]);
}
I'm trying to use loopback angular SDK to login but instead I'm getting back a 401 unauthorized response.
User.login({ rememberMe: true }, {email: $scope.user.email, password: $scope.user.password})
.$promise
.then(function() {
var next = $location.nextAfterLogin || '/';
$location.nextAfterLogin = null;
$location.path(next);
})
.catch(function(x) {
$scope.authError = 'Wrong Credentials';
});
};
Also i can see the user with the given credentials in the datasource that I've defined for the User model.
So basically, I have a boot script that creates a default user
User.create([{
username: 'admin',
email: 'xxxx#gmail.com',
password: 'admin'
}], on_usersCreated);
And I also have created a custom User model that extends the built-in User model.
Why am I getting a 401 unauthorized response when trying to login? I have even tried to login via the explorer, but with no success.
Update:
I debugged the build-in User model and the login method; and it seems that it cannot find the user with the given email. I can see it though in the mongodb database.
Inspect the ACL records of User model, starting you app in debug mode and viewing console: DEBUG=loopback:security:acl slc run.
I don't see anything wrong with your code. Are you sure the values you're passing into the function are correct? Try logging $scope.user.email and $scope.user.password before calling User.login.
See my new example here: https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-getting-started-intermediate/blob/master/client/js/services/auth.js#L6-L15
The tutorial part is not complete, you can look around the source code to get an idea of what you're doing different.

when i using Chrome i get empty response :

from where do you think the error is coming ??
It is true, I just fixed this bug a few days ago myself. The user must grant Extended Permissions for user_photos on your app. A few ways to do this:
1) Update your app info in FB Developer tab and add Extended permissions to your app. This will ask new users who register to give certain permissions before joining.
2) Alternatively, if the user has already added the app you can ask the user for permissions using the Javascript SDK call FB.login while they are in the app. (see code below)
FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
// user is logged in and granted some permissions.
console.log("user is logged in and granted some permissions.")
} else {
// User cancelled login or did not fully authorize.
console.log("he failed to login or something")
}
}, {scope:'user_photos'});
This route requires you have set up the Facebook JavaScript SDK
I think you have not taken Extended Permission of user_photos. Take extended permission then you will not receive empty array
