Getting '210' 'User not visible' from Facebook when trying to post to own user's wall with valid access token. Access token has 'status' permission, and user has "liked" the app. I've already been through the steps here: How to publish Facebook feed as someone else other than the logged in user?
have also added "offline_access" to users permission (doesn't seem to matter -- still breaks with the 210).
I've seen some chatter of a Facebook-side bug about this here:
Error 201: User not visible in facebook api
Can an FB rep confirm if this is still happening and the cause of my error?

First of all... I want to integrated authentication in my App for anyone Instagram users by oAuth.
After readed guide https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/getting-started, I added myself into Instagram Test User and then no have any problems to get token, user_id and carry out some actions into my App. But if I can do it by anyone Instagram users without my Instagram Test User, I get OAuthException with 400 status and error_message: "Invalid scope: []" on oauth/access_token method
For example, step-by-step:
Getting Instagram Authorization Form, write username, password https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize?app_id={app-id}&redirect_uri={redirect-uri}&scope=user_profile&response_type=code&state={state}
Then I would like to Exchange the Code For a Token. Send POST request https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token by data app_id={app-id}&app_secret={app_secret}&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri={redirect_uri}&code={code} Parameter "code" getting from step 1.
And now I have token and user_id by JSON response after finished step 2.
So, If I carry out by my Instagram Test User I don't have any Exceptions, but If I can do it by another Instagram user, write other username, password on step 1, I'll get OAuthException
PS. I thought the API Instagram Basic Display product on my Facebook Application was probably not moderated by any competence developer. I sended statement, and received refusal: "Instagram profile permissions should not be used to authenticate new users in your app". So, What I am doing wrong?
UPD. On step 1, If i could make to log in distinctive username, password by another Instagram user, I don't receive the "code" - necessary parameter on step 2.
If your app is still in Development Mode, then you have to add Instagram users in My Apps > Roles > Instagram Testers. And those Instagram Users have to Accept the Tester Invite.
Using the Facebook Access Token Debugger I can see I have an access token that never expires.
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/accesstoken/
However using the Graph Explorer I get the error
{
"error": {
"message": "(#10) To use 'Page Public Content Access', your use of this endpoint must be reviewed and approved by Facebook. To submit this 'Page Public Content Access' feature for review please read our documentation on reviewable features: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 10,
...
}
}
This was previously working, has something changed with Facebook? The only other thing that has changed is that my access to the Facebook App was removed then reinstated, so I now use a different access code.
Please could anyone advise what I need to do to resolve this issue, I previously did not need Facebook review to use this API last month.
Thanks
Edited: the login required screen when requesting a Page Access Token:
This is not about expiry of the token.
Facebook has restricted API access to the data of any public pages - you now need to get your app reviewed for the use of the feature “Page Public Content Access”, before you can use it.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/feature#reference-PAGES_ACCESS
Without getting this reviewed, you can only access data from pages you have admin access to - but that in turn requires the use of a different kind of token then, a page access token. (You presumably used the general app access token, for your requests that have been working up until now. For that to keep working to access public page data, you need to submit for review of the feature.)
Thanks to misorude for all your help. This is what worked for me:
Step 1: ask the business manager to grant the user "Manage Pages" permission on both the app and the page:
https://business.facebook.com/settings/pages/PageID?business_id=BusinessID
https://business.facebook.com/settings/apps/AppID?business_id=BusinessID
Step 2: Create the user access token (select "Get User Access Token" from the "Get Token" dropdown)
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
Step 3: Check the user has access by calling your graph method using the temporary user access token
E.g. https://graph.facebook.com/v3.3/PageID?fields=link%2Cpicture&access_token=UserAccessToken
E.g. https://graph.facebook.com/v3.3/PageID/feed?fields=message%2Cfull_picture%2cpermalink_url%2Ccreated_time&limit=3&access_token=UserAccessToken
Step 4: Create permanent user access token
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/accesstoken/
Click "Extend Access Token" at the bottom of the page and debug to reveal the token with expiry: never
In our web application a user grants us access to their Facebook account, which gives us their long term access token. The user then makes a choice if the integration should be for their user timeline or for a specific Facebook page that they administrate. If they pick a page then we swap out their user access token with their page access token and go on our merry way. That has been successfully live for a while.
Now I want to add some code so if you are authenticated against a page we can query for the engagements field (/me?fields=engagement) (essentially the details about like counts for the page). However, this query obviously fails if you navigate to this resource with a user access token, because there is no "engagement" field on User.
Is there some way I can query the "/me" api resource and know if it's a user or a page without parsing the error message?
I am trying to post to my own facebook wall. So I created an "app" in my
personal facebook page, and got the app_id, app_secret, etc.
I then did this code:
#oauth = Koala::Facebook::OAuth.new(app_id, app_secret, callback_url)
#token = #oauth.get_app_access_token
#graph = Koala::Facebook::API.new(#token)
foo = #graph.get_object('me')
However, I get this error:
An active access token must be used to query information about
the current user. [HTTP 400]
(Koala::Facebook::AuthenticationError)
The token is valid, I checked. I need to post to my OWN wall, not a
different user's. From what I've read in the documentation, I need an "app
access key", not a "user access key" to do this. I am somewhat new to
the facebook api list, so I think I'm missing something very basic.
You can use an app token instead of a user token to post to a wall as long as the user already granted the proper permissions to your application.
That is, in timeline
User grants app access to post with publish_actions
User access token supplied by Graph Login Flow
At this point, you can either use the user access token or application access token
In addition,
foo = #graph.get_object('me')
is not a POST request. It says, get the object from the graph named me. Further me will not resolve to anything if you are using an application token because there is no way for the application to tell which "me" in all the users in the app you are referring to. Thus you need to refer to the app scoped id for the user.
e.g
foo = #graph.get_object('4')
Where 4 is a numerical app scoped ID (4 will not work in your case you need to figure out the correct ID for your application). The correct call in koala will be something like
foo = #graph.put_connections("4", "feed", :message => "I am writing on my wall!")
My problem was that the user (in this case myself) has to allow access to my app to post to my wall.
The full OAuth process is described well at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/
But specifically, I need to get a URL that I have to visit and then say "yes" to the authnetication question. The code is here:
#oauth = Koala::Facebook::OAuth.new(app_id, app_secret, callback_url)
#oauth.url_for_oauth_code(:permissions => "publish_actions")
The URL will look something like this:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?
client_id={app_id}&
redirect_uri={redirect-uri}&scope=publish_actions
Note, the URL has to specify what permissions you want to request from the user (in this case, permission to post to the wall). This permission request is specified under the "scope" variable. Note some version of the facebook api allow posting through the "publish_stream" scope and other versions require the "publish_actions" scope. More information about the permissions available under scope variable is available here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.0
When you visit the URL that is generated from the above statement, facebook will give you a message asking if that particular app has permission to post to your wall. You, of course, say "yes". After that, your facebook app can post to the facebook wall using the "app access token"
After that, it's easy to post to the wall with your app access token. The code that works for me is:
#oauth = Koala::Facebook::OAuth.new(app_id, app_secret, callback_url)
#app_access_token = #oauth.get_app_access_token
#graph = Koala::Facebook::API.new(#app_access_token)
foo = #graph.put_connections(facebook_user_id, "feed", :message => "Test message")
Recently I am experiencing this problem.
When I click to register with facebook and I am logged in as a user, I can see my information correctly. But staying on the same page, if I log out from facebook in some other tab and click Register with facebook on my own site, I see this person profile picture. The url of this image is:
http://graph.facebook.com/undefined/picture?type=large
I am accessing graph API using APP
Kindly advise me the solution to the problem
Accessing a users data requires an access token, with out this token your call is getting undefined returned as a user, and with out the access token appended to the picture url it returns emphamous Unknown User.
refer to: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens/
for requesting access tokens, and usage.
Example Only: https://graph.facebook.com/ShawnsSpace/picture?type=large&return_ssl_resources=1&access_token=users_access_token
My script cannot access FB script without Access token
FB.login(function(response)
{
//If the user is succesfully authenticated, we execute some code to handle the freshly
//logged in user, if not, we do nothing
if (response.authResponse)
{
FB.api('/me', function(response) {}
}
{scope:'email,user_events,friends_photos,user_about_me,user_birthday,user_hometown,user_location,user_location,user_relationships'}); });//fbclick
So, I think access token condition is already satisfied.
