I'm trying to access all feeds a facebook user using the Graph API .

However I'm getting quite different responses from V2.3 to V2.4 .

In version 2.4 using the instruction / me / Feed not receive complete information of the posts just returns some fields , while in the previous version had access to all the information. As can be seen the difference in the following answers.

V2.4

{
"data": [
    {
      "message": "A brincar com o Xico Zé.. ;)",
      "created_time": "2015-07-11T18:23:59+0000",
      "id": "10153293007088673_120153297333223673"
    },
    {
      "message": "Ana Simões e Pedro Simões este é que é bom para a Liliana Assunção..",
      "story": "Diogo Lopes shared Classic Hits 4FM's video.",
      "created_time": "2015-07-11T14:20:59+0000",

    }
],
  "paging": {

  }
}

V2.3

}

Someone can help me know how I can get a similar response in V2.4 to V2.3??

  • The first thing you should do in such a case, is consult the changelog – and of course there this is explicitly mentioned: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_4_changes – CBroe Jul 14 '15 at 08:14

Since the upgrade in Graph API i.e. version 2.4. You have to specifically pass a fields parameter with the relevant keyword of which, data you would like to retrieve.

Please refer to this document of Facebook Developers

Changes from v2.3 to v2.4

Declarative Fields

To try to improve performance on mobile networks, Nodes and Edges in v2.4 requires that you explicitly request the field(s) you need for your GET requests. For example, GET /v2.4/me/feed no longer includes likes and comments by default, but GET /v2.4/me/feed?fields=comments,likes will return the data. For more details see the docs on how to request specific fields.

An example of v2.4:

<page_id>/feed?fields=id,message,picture,likes,shares,comments

  • Do you know if this will this still work with the older versions? I have multiple sites using the same plugin I wrote for the facebook feed, but some have 2.2 while a couple newer ones have 2.4. If I change the code, I don't want it to explode all my old sites. Obviously I can write more code to handle the different versions, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to.

  • It'll still work if you are using a 2.3 or earlier access_token and use /feed without passing fields. However if it's a 2.4 access_token you need the fields parameters. The 2.2 will expire March 25 2017. You can see when the api version will expire here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog – Priebe Oct 19 '15 at 10:28
  • V2.3 expired on July 10 2017 – Eydun Jul 12 '17 at 11:39
