I am trying to post a message through cURL but I keep getting an error:

{"error":{"message":"(#1500) The url you supplied is invalid","type":"OAuthException","code":1500}}

Here is my code:

$this->msgData['message'] .= 'Test Message';
$this->msgData['link'] = 'test Link';
$this->msgData['name'] = 'Ny test Name';
$this->msgData['access_token'] = 'myaccesstoken';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://graph.facebook.com/'.$this->page_id.'/feed');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false);

// execute and close
$return = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

I know that the offline access token has been deprecated but you can still use it by disabling "Remove offline_access permission" in app setting.

I have researched online but I couldn't find much info why this is failing. What URL it means when it says that the URL supplied is invalid? Is the "link" of the CURL URL?

Any suggestions guys?

  • I take it that when you echo/log 'https://graph.facebook.com/'.$this->page_id.'/feed', you the URL is valid and correct? – Cal McLean Sep 20 '12 at 16:04
  • Yes. I echoed the URL. Then I pasted in the browser. It then threw an error saying access token required. So, I added ?access_token=myaccesstoken and it pulled the feed from that page. So, I think that the URL is valid. – Blueboye Sep 20 '12 at 16:07
  • Perhaps try removing the `access_token` from `msgData` and appending it to the URL, as you tried? – Cal McLean Sep 20 '12 at 16:09
  • @CallumMcLean: I tried doing that. But it didn't worked :(. Surprisingly, I have another app that uses the same code with some "content" difference and it works fine. – Blueboye Sep 20 '12 at 16:23

I can't add this as a comment because I don't have a high enough reputation, so apologies for posting it as an answer; however, is the version of PHP you're running set-up to handle SSL? Since Open Graph requires https, you may need to tell cURL how to handle it. Check out the accepted answer to this question: Post to a Facebook user's wall with cURL PHP

The lines that you may want to try adding in particular are:

`curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);`
