I've been developing a facebook application that uses a combination of the php sdk and the javascript sdk. It runs in a tabbed iframe on facebook and is hosted on my own server. I'm using the latest php and javascript sdk files as of now (Sept 06, 2011, 2:50PM). The first inconsistency is in the php sdk when getting the user id. This is my code:
require 'fb_php_sdk/facebook.php';
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => $app_id,
'secret' => $app_secret,
'cookie' => true
));
$user = $facebook->getUser();
if ($user) {
$permissions_granted = true;
} else {
$permissions_granted = false;
}
This very frequently returns '0' as the facebook ID, no idea why. Though almost as frequently returns the actual facebook id.
The other issue is with images. I often get images not showing up when calling this url:
<img src="https://graph.facebook.com/' . $uid. '/picture/" />
When I use fql I inconsistently get 'undefined' as a result when performing this query:
FB.api(
{
method: 'fql.query',
query: 'SELECT name,pic FROM user WHERE uid=<? echo $user ?>'
},
function(response)
{
alert(response[0].pic);
}
);
I really don't understand what would cause this inconsistency and it's making bug testing very difficult. If anyone has experienced this kind of behaviour and can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
This very frequently returns '0' as the facebook ID, no idea why. Though almost as frequently returns the actual facebook id.
Of course, because your app needs at least the default permissions. Otherwise you'll get nothing about the user. And same with your images. I bet most time your $uid contains the number zero.
Did you check what facebook returns? It should be something like:
{
"error": {
"type": "OAuthException",
"message": "An active access token must be used to query information about the current user."
}
}
So you need to get permissions of the user to get access to his/her data.

devs,
so I have been struggling with this problem for about 10 hours now, and I can't seem to find a solution online, worst is that I don't even know why it happens.
I am working on a project which uses PHP LARAVEL as the backend and I started writing the API for the flutter frontend to consume then I ran into this error while trying to test the API endpoint for registering and logging in.
The problem is the process fails with this error when I try to generate or create a token for the registered user or logged-in user.
Here a snapshot of my register function
public function store(Request $request)
{
$validated = Validator::make($request->all(),[
"email" => "required|email",
"password" => 'required',
"first_name"=> "required",
"last_name" => "required",
"phone_number" => 'required',
]);
if ($validated->fails()) {
return response()->json(['errors' => "Invalide credentials"], 403);
}
$user = User::create(
// [
// 'first_name' => $request->first_name,
// 'last_name'=> $request->last_name,
// 'email' => $request->email,
// 'password' => bcrypt($request->password),
// 'phone_number' => $request->phone_number,
// ]
$request->toArray()
);
Auth::guard('api')->check($user);
// $newUser = User::find($user->id);
$token = $user->createToken('authToken')->accessToken;
// return $token;
return response(['token' => $token, 'first_name'=>$user->first_name, 'email'=>$user->email ], 200);
}
The login and register functions all look the same at this point.
Error-causing code is :
$token = $user->createToken('authToken')->accessToken;
Please I am open to your suggestions, thanks.
I finally found a solution for this error and I believe it will help anyone out there with a similar problem.
The problem originates from the fact that your application is unable to asign a unique id to your client, remember your website or mobile app is a client to the backend with also(your mobile app or website) might have other users, so laravel passport will need to identify it with a unique id, below are some of the steps i used to fix this error.
First it originates because during the passport installation, i forgot to install
Blockquote
--uuids
If you have a similar error, follow the steps below to fix:
NOTE: You must have laravel passport installed already, if not, them follow the complete installtion guide Here
Step 1:
Install passport uuids
php artisan passport:install --uuids
Your result will look something like
After creating, the uuid for your application, you will have to include it in your .env file as such:
PASSPORT_PERSONAL_ACCESS_CLIENT_ID=986eb40c-0458-4b6e-bead-ea2fc4987033
PASSPORT_PERSONAL_ACCESS_CLIENT_SECRET=VXLdTpqWK9i3CBqFwZgje5fuerQ5Uf2lvwXJqBoP
And there you go, you can now try to do what you couldn't do before.
I'm trying to get some (I think allowed) information in my app. I have an access token that has the following info:
App ID: <my app id> : iHOUSEListingPoster - Test 001
Type: User
App-Scoped User ID: <user id> : Joe Webb
Valid: True
Scopes: email, pages_show_list, pages_read_engagement, pages_manage_posts, public_profile
I'm trying this:
FB.api( "/me",
"GET",
{fields: 'name'},
function(get_fb_info_response) {
console.log("Here: ", get_fb_info_response
});
And getting this error:
"Unsupported get request. Object with ID 'me' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation"
I have tried with both "/me" and "/me/". And while I want name, picture and email, I tried limiting it to just name, and still. What am I missing here?
Try this:
FB.api('/me?fields=name', function(response) {
console.log('me', response);
});
I'm not sure if api function from FB does have this signature you're using.
Edit
After searching at Facebook docs, found that the signature you were using is valid as well. Then, I went to do some tests here. And I was able to reproduce the same error you have mentioned when calling the function like this:
FB.api("/<123>/", "GET", { fields: 'name' }, function(response) {
console.log('response', response);
});
To fix it, you need to remove < and >, for example:
FB.api("/123/", "GET", { fields: 'name' }, function(response) {
console.log('response', response);
});
Calling /me and /me/ endpoint returned no error in my test.
In this screenshot you can see the tests I have run directly at my browser's console.
Ok, I finally figured out what the problem is/was here (sheepish face). We have a couple of Facebook accounts here at the company. One is the container for my app and it's test app, the other is a more general company account. I was logged into the general company account. When I tried my app, it grabbed some random app from that account, which wasn't the app that matched the access token (which I think is possible wrong on Facebook's part), therefore this error was thrown.
Once I logged into the correct Facebook account, all works as expected.
In Onedrive I am able to use their Live SDK API and get the Access_token and the filepicker for my users is also working properly.
But, every time a user tries to attach a file I am calling the API to get the Access_token.
Is this a problem, when more number of users try to call this API every time they try to attach the files( did Microsoft has a limit for number of API call).
Also, If i try to use Refresh_token for Access_token using WL.offline_access scope how would my app know the Access_token is expired?
You'll need to add logic to your code to see if the user is already has a session occurring. You can do this this by adding WL.Event.subscribe and checking for "auth.statusChange". If the users status has changed at any point, it will call the function to check the users current status (i.e. connect, notConnected, and unknown) by calling WL.getLoginStatus. WL.getLoginStatus will also return the users session object (access_token, expires_in, etc) if you want to use any values there.
Your code will look something like this.
< script type = "text/javascript" >
WL.Event.subscribe("auth.statusChange", chkStatus);
function chkStatus() {
WL.getLoginStatus(
function(response) {
if (response.status == "connected") {
document.getElementById("info").innerText = "You're signed in";
} else {
WL.login({
"scope": "wl.skydrive_update"
});
}
More info on WL.getLoginStatus can be found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/hh550842.aspx. I hope that helps.
I have implemented Fb login for my website. Also for the Fb page of my app inside approved items it shows - user_friends
Provides access to a person's list of friends that also use your app. This permission is approved by default.
How can I get the list of friends of the user who is there on my app ?
Also When I try to do this --
FB.api(
"/me/friends",
function (response) {
if (response && response.data){
alert(response.data);
} else {
console.log('Something goes wrong', response);
}
}
);
I get no response.
Thanks,
Newbie
First, you need to include and initialize the JavaScript SDK: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/javascript/quickstart/v2.2
Then, you need to authorize the user: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.login/v2.0
(don´t forget to use the scope parameter with the "user_friends" permission)
After that, you can call FB.api('/me/friends'... to get the friends of the user who authorized the App too.
You can also test /me/friends in the API Explorer, just select the correct App: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=me%2Ffriends&version=v2.2
Here is a strange thing I am fighting against.
First of all I am using this simple-linkedinphp lib to perform API calls from my php backend.
I got a user access token from our IOS app which has the following structure:
{"access_token":"lettersAndSymbols","expires_in":5183999}
I store it in a variable called $token.
Then I try to get the user's profile with this token like this:
$linkedin = new \LinkedIn($this->linkedin_config);
$linkedin->setResponseFormat($linkedin::_RESPONSE_JSON);
$linkedin->setTokenAccess(array('oauth_token' => $token["access_token"], 'oauth_token_secret' => ""));
$linkedinUserJson = $linkedin->profile("~");
Then I get the response with error:
array(5) {
["linkedin"]=>
string(358) "{
"errorCode": 0,
"message": "[unauthorized]. The token used in the OAuth request is not valid. sameLettersAndSymbols",
"requestId": "74T6SY6ML6",
"status": 401,
"timestamp": 1376043937705
}
But when I try to open an api url in a browser with the same LettersAndSymbols like https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~?oauth2_access_token=LettersAndSymbols, I get the correct response with user object.
How can that be? Am I doing something wrong with the API lib?
I can see a problem in this line
$linkedin->setTokenAccess(array('oauth_token' => $token["access_token"], 'oauth_token_secret' => ""));
your must provide a secret to set the token access.
I found a nice example about Linkedin Integration, wich I like to share with you, I tested and it works just fine.
