I was trying to publish something to Facebook page.
From this article, it seemed really easy to publish using Facebook API
So, I create a Facebook page and made sure that I have all the required permission for the given auth token, opened by Postman and created a POST request to following URL (along with attaching my access token bearer)
https://graph.facebook.com/2984640844138/feed?message=HeyWhatever
This is giving me following error
{
"error": {
"message": "(#200) If posting to a group, requires app being installed in the group, and \\\n either publish_to_groups permission with user token, or both manage_pages \\\n and publish_pages permission with page token; If posting to a page, \\\n requires both manage_pages and publish_pages as an admin with \\\n sufficient administrative permission",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 200,
"fbtrace_id": "D1z1soQbTE2"
}
}
I am not sure about what I am doing wrong, perhaps my request is incorrect or I am not using postman correctly.
This is what I am doing in Postman (screenshot below), can someone point me out what I am doing wrong? Also, suggestions are also welcome
I would recommend you use the Facebook Graph API Explorer, which provides you with the tools to generate the access token with appropriate permission and also craft your HTTP requests with ease. Visit the same, generate a token, then head to the Access Token Debugger to double check the scopes of the token.

i am trying to insert a new row to my google spreadsheet using JS from broser console
using post man made a post request to this url

You would need to authorize your postman application first using Google OAuth2 as referenced here in this article.
You would need to create a Google Cloud Project on console.cloud.google.com, and under API's and Services > Enabled API's and Services, look for Google Sheets API.
Once you have enabled the API, click on Manage and proceed to the Credentials Tab to create your credentials.
Make sure that under Authorized Redirect URIs, put in "https://oauth.pstmn.io/v1/browser-callback"
Also, application type should be set to Web Application
Download the JSON file, and also make sure to save your Client ID and Client Secret.
From the downloaded JSON file, you would need to save the "auth_uri" and "token_uri" (you'll be needing this for authorization on your postman console for auth url and access token url)
Set the client ID and client secret and use the scope "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file"
From there, once you have generated your access token, make your post request following the sample here in this article: https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/append. YOUR_API_KEY should be the access token that was generated earlier on your Postman console.
If ever you experience other issues with authorizing your account for OAuth2, proceed with going to the OAuth Consent Screen on your Google Cloud Console, create an app, and define the said scope above under the Non-sensitive scopes, and add your Google Account under Test Users.
I'm trying to upload a video to a facebook page via the FB Page API
POST Request to https://graph-video.facebook.com/v12.0/<PAGEID>/videos where <PAGEID> is the page id.
POST PARAMS:
access_token (This is the page access token acquired by the Page List API
file_url (public accessible file)
However, I get an error response of:
error: {
code: 100
fbtrace_id: "A1J_75XwMn_p_KSjtZYGeGL"
message: "(#100) No permission to publish the video"
type: "OAuthException"
}
I even used the Graph Explorer tool to generate the access token.
My user is an Admin of said page and also has the following scopes:
email, user_link, pages_show_list, user_photos, publish_actions
publish_actions is deprecated, there are new permissions for posting to a Page now: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/pages/overview/permissions-features
The pages_manage_posts permission allows your app to create, edit and delete your Page posts
Although, the /videos endpoint seems to be gone: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v12.0/page/videos
I managed to set up a developer account to get API responses working on the API explorer. However, I'm trying to connect to Postman and have been getting the following error messages.
I have gotten my user access token as follows:
The Callback URL: I have used the RuName (eBay Redirect URL name)
Auth URL: I have used https://auth.sandbox.ebay.com/oauth2/authorize (https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/static/oauth-consent-request.html#configure)
Access Token URL: I have used the https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/identity/v1/oauth2/token (https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/static/oauth-authorization-code-grant.html)
ClientID and Client Password I've used the credentials from my developer account
This returns the following token:
As you can see a USER ACCESS TOKEN.
When I go to use the request in an API put request I always get the following error:
The token seems to be right.
I try the same call in the built in API explorer and it works.
Please could someone advise its driving me crazy, probably something I've done wrong but any ideas?
During Authentication the following happens it prompts me to login and then shares the oath code (it doesn't tell me to accept the application as stated in document not sure why though)
I Had the following code
$client->setClientId('39605174446-s067746s1jur731n49fujigfh8occ5pa.apps.googleusercontent.com');
$client->setClientSecret('MYCLIENTSECRET');
$client->setRedirectUri('http://examplesss.com/oauth2');
$client->setScopes('https://picasaweb.google.com/data');
$client->setAccessType("offline");
I did authenticate
At my Google Console API, I set it for "Web Application", Authorization Javascript origins I leave it blank.
Authorization Redirect URI I set it as
http://example.com/oauth2
I went to the following site to get my authorisation code
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?access_type=offline&approval_prompt=&client_id=39605174446-s067746s1jur731n49fujigfh8occ5pa.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=http://example.com/oauth2&response_type=code&scope=https://picasaweb.google.com/data&state=state
When I went into the site, I press ok to grant "offline access" . After that I am redirect to an none existent site which I use that is example.com and then the URI was something like
http://example.com/oauth2?state=stat&code=4/qWt9q19VtilG6Iw6HFte4RnpiXR0a5q80_zQAU-hNqc#
$client->authenticate('4/qWt9q19VtilG6Iw6HFte4RnpiXR0a5q80_zQAU-hNqc#');
Then I get my refresh token code
$client->refreshToken('1\/vYnZlRcvaY2nD0yh5LhU9paLZZggMArGOo-3rEJHGCM');
But when I run the code it say...
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Google_Auth_Exception' with message 'Error refreshing the OAuth2 token, message: '{
"error" : "invalid_grant"
Wonder what went wrong, I just want to access my picasa web album.
Thanks
It can be 2 things. One, is the incorrect use of the versions of the Google API client or the one I think that is the problem, it's on the refresh token and how you're passing the token. It's a problem with the / character in the string, json enconding and how it's passed. Put the refresh token in double quotes and send the variable. If all the data is correct and authorized via Google, it should work.
I'm developing a node.js app which manages a Facebook page among other functionalities.
To comment on user submitted posts, I use the following code in node.js:
FB.api(object + '/comments','post',
{ message: COMMENT_I_WANT_TO_SUBMIT, access_token: MY_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN },
function(res){
// deal with res
}
);
When using my short-lived Facebook page access-token (which I get from Graph API Explorer) the comment submitted is shown as a comment submitted by the page itself (what I want), but when I use my permanent token it is shown as submitted by myself (page owner).
To get this permanent token I followed these instructions:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/28418469/4713311
The token has my name associated to it since I had to grant permissions to manage the pages I own to generate the token.
I believe this token has the proper permissions since the token debugger shows the following permissions in scope: "manage_pages, publish_pages, publish_actions, public_profile"
Is there any way I can use this never expiring token to comment on posts with the page name instead of my own?
A Page Access Token should have not only "User ID" but also "Profile ID" associated, which wasn't the case for the extended page access token.
A Page Access Token isn't "extendable", to get a permanent page access token I had to request one with a permanent User Access Token, as explained here
Using as short-lived access token I got from Graph API Explorer (Select App -> Get Token -> Select permissions manage_pages, publish_pages, publish_actions and other you may need -> Grab the token that fills the "Access Token" text box) I made the following call to extend the token.
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?grant_type=fb_exchange_token&client_id={app-id}&client_secret={app-secret}& fb_exchange_token={short-lived-token}
Using the token returned, you can simply call /me/accounts and copy the page's access_token
This token is a permanent Page Access Token, to confirm you can use the token debugger and verify it has your "User ID" and your page's "Profile ID"
