I'm trying to post a comment to a status post on facebook. I've figured out how to "like" existing comments using the following code:
$status = $facebook->api("/$id/likes", 'post');
How would I modify the code to post a comment to this status message instead of like.
I've tried this:
$status = $facebook->api("/$id/stream", 'post', "$comment");
but it returns this error:
Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
I've also used "/$id/comments" instead of "/$id/stream", same error.
$facebook->api('/'.$POST_ID.'/comments','post',array('message' => $comment)); works for me. Make sure that you have publish_stream permissions and that you provide a proper Post ID of the status message.

Having created a test user for my app, I intend to create a test page by sending the following POST request to the Facebook API (some parts obviously replaced with dummies):
https://graph.facebook.com/v7.0/<TEST_USER_ID>/accounts?access_token=<APP_TOKEN>&name=Dummypage&category_enum=BANK&about="Text"&picture=<URL_TO_IMAGE>&cover_photo={"url": "<URL_TO_OTHER_IMAGE>"}&location={"city": "SomeCity","state": "SomeState","country": "DE"}&address="<ADDRESS>"&phone="<PHONE>"&category_list=[{"id": "133576170041936"} ,{"id": "145988682478380"}]
The problematic part of this is the category_list parameter, which I have attempted to pass in many forms already. Arriving at
category_list=[{"id": "133576170041936"} ,{"id": "145988682478380"}]
I finally no longer get the error that the param has to be an array - instead I get the following error: (#100) Param category_list[0] must be a valid ID string (e.g., \"123\") .
This is fairly confusing, as the IDs are taken from the response of an API response containing the page categories:
https://graph.facebook.com/v7.0/fb_page_categories?access_token=<TOKEN>
How should the parameter be correctly passed?
What I tried so far:
category_list=["145988682478380"]
category_list=[145988682478380]
Result: (#100) Invalid parameter
category_list=[{"id": "145988682478380"}]
category_list=[{"id": "145988682478380", "name": "Kreditgenossenschaft", "api_enum": "CREDIT_UNION"}] #full entry as listed in page categories response
Result: (#100) Param category_list[0] must be a valid ID string (e.g., "123")

Creating a test page via POST request
This curl command worked by me:
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"category_list\": [192803624072087, 145988682478380]}" "https://graph.facebook.com/v8.0/me?access_token=[page_access_token]"
So with the following JSON Body:
{
"category_list": [192803624072087, 145988682478380]
}
I've been googling for a few hours, and I need help. I dont think I'm using the correct words. Anyhow, I'm using Claudia.JS to set up a POST request to my AWS Lambda function. Here's the basics of the function:
api.post('/leads', function (request) {
console.log(request);
return request;
});
When I use postman to test the post request, I'm returned the request object. Awesome. Then I try to pass form-data through. I set the key to 'username' and the value to 'this is the username'. This is what request.body is:
"body": "---------------------------
-019178618034620042564575\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data;
name=\"username\"\r\n\r\nthis is the username\r\n----------------------
------019178618034620042564575--\r\n",`
I thought I could return request.body.username... to key the value of username...but I'm missing something.
How do I access the form data in the request?
update: okay. The website is taking the form data, making a post request...this function is receiving the post request? still-- in postman...if I were to put my own JSON in...why can I not access request.body like... request.body.username?
You should try console.log(request.data) to see your request object, ie. in my own case I can see the content of my request's body.
Have a look at https://www.getpostman.com/docs/postman/scripts/postman_sandbox to see all the relevant information about your request.
I solved this by looking at the header set in postman. It was set to form-data instead of application/JSON. All gravy now.
I am trying to develop one-click-integration support for my bot, which will include FB messenger.
For the FB messenger I did the following:
Followed the "quick-start" guide and created a Facebook App.
Followed the "facebook-login" tutorial and deployed a facebook login process which works with permissions for:
- public_profile
- email
- manage_pages
- pages_show_list
- pages_messaging_subscriptions
- pages_messaging
I then used the graph-api of '/me/accounts' to get list of pages name , page ids, and access_token under a "test user" I created in facebook.
Now, I picked a page under this "test user" (with all the permissions), and tried to run this JS code -
FB.api(
`/${page.id}/subscribed_apps?access_token=${page.access_token}`,
function (response) {
console.log(`response = {$JSON.stringify(response)}`);
if (response && !response.error) {
/* handle the result */
}
}
);
The problem: I get response = {"data":[]} , which might be OK, but when I look at the page->settings->Messenger Platform->Subscribed Apps , I don't see any app subscribed there.
By the way, When I run this without the proper access_token , I do get an error #210 ("needs access_token") which is as expected...
Any idea how to subscribe the app properly to the page?
Must say I also tried it with the graph api explorer tool and got the same result...
Thanks in advance :-).
#CBroe got it correct and there were 2 issues:
1. I should have used the POST() instead of GET() method.
2. When you use the graph-api-explorer tool, you will see it works, then role down and get the JS code... problem is the code is a bit confusing since what you get is this:
FB.api(
`/${my_page_id}/subscribed_apps`,
'POST',
{},
function(response) {
// Insert your code here
}
);
but, it should actually be like this:
FB.api(
`/${my_page_id}/subscribed_apps`,
'POST',
{"access_token": `${page_access_token}`},
function(response) {
// Insert your code here
}
);
remeber to take the access_token from the /me/accounts api as I described in my question.
Thanks again to #CBroe for showing me how to solve this :-)
I am working on a twitter bot using tweepy. The bot auto-replies to specific users whose tweet handle it receives as input. The bot was working fine for weeks and then suddenly started throwing this 'Bad Authentication Data' or the following to be more precise :
tweepy.error.TweepError: [{'message': 'Bad Authentication data.', 'code': 215}]
Apparently the problem is in this particular part of the code :
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_key, access_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
ts=api.user_timeline(screen_name=s,count=1)
I have entered the correct keys for the twitter application. I read about this problem on blogs where people say that it is an issue with POSTFIELDS and that it can be fixed by passing the status as URL in the api.update_status function. Is that right? If yes, please give me an example of how it can be done. I'm passing the message and tweet reply id in the update_status function. Thanks in advance.
I wrote
auth.secure = True
and it fixed in my case, hope it helps!
I have the following code on my controller.js and works when I request from Facebook Graph 2.4
request.open("GET","https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/katyperry/posts?"+access_token,true);
However this only returns few fields: message, story, created_time, and id.
I need some additional more fields: message, picture, likes, created_time, link, type, comments and object_id.
So I tried the following:
request.open("GET","https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/katyperry?fields=posts.limit(2){message,picture,likes,created_time,link,type,comments,object_id}"+access_token,true);
The last one sent me the error:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request)
I tested both options the request on the Graph API Explorer and it worked properly. How can I get those extra fields? what am I missing?
I am adding the precedent code to show how access_token is builded:
var appID ="138429819833219";
var appSecret ="dada0a4d7f7717b0d37fd637d9e1522a";
var accessTokenRq = makeHttpRequest();
var httpString = 'https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id='+appID+'&client_secret='+appSecret;
accessTokenRq.open("GET",httpString,true);
accessTokenRq.send(null);
var access_token;
accessTokenRq.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (accessTokenRq.readyState == 4) {
access_token = accessTokenRq.responseText;
//alert("Hat geklappt - Trabajó :)");
var request = makeHttpRequest();
// the following request works
request.open("GET","https://graph.facebook.com/v2.2/katyperry/posts?"+access_token,true);
// next one don't - I checked inspector and access_token contains: 138429819833219|CewVrYOd86ctJ0HTP2X0XAS9m4o
request.open("GET","https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/katyperry?fields=posts.limit(2){message,picture,likes,created_time,link,type,comments,object_id}"+access_token,true);
What is contained in the access_token variable? The request
/katyperry?fields=posts.limit(2){message,picture,likes,created_time,link,type,comments,object_id}
works in the Graph API Explorer, so I guess your access_token variable only contains the actual access token, and not the parameter key/value pair.
This
request.open("GET","https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/katyperry?fields=posts.limit(2){message,picture,likes,created_time,link,type,comments,object_id}&access_token="+access_token,true);
should hopefully work then.
The error it was syntax, the right code as follow:
request.open("GET","https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/katyperry/posts?limit=2&fields=message,picture,likes,created_time,link,type,comments,object_id&"+access_token,true);
