Getting Facebook error response of type OAuthException

Question

I have been using below code to get data from my facebook home using restFb api.

          import java.util.List;

          import com.restfb.Connection;
          import com.restfb.DefaultFacebookClient;
          import com.restfb.FacebookClient;
          import com.restfb.FacebookClient.AccessToken;
          import com.restfb.types.Post;
          import com.restfb.types.User;

          public class restFB_tester {

            public static void main(String[] args) {

                //60 days auth
                String authToken="XXXXXXX";

                FacebookClient fbClient = new DefaultFacebookClient(authToken);     
                Connection<Post> result=fbClient.fetchConnection("me/home",Post.class);

                int counter =0;
                for(List<Post> page :result)
                {
                  for(Post aPost:page)
                  {
                      System.out.println(aPost.getMessage());
                      System.out.println("fb.com/"+aPost.getId());
                      counter++;      
                  }
                }       
                System.out.println("No of Posts : "+counter);
            }

          }

And this throws an error :

Exception in thread "main" com.restfb.exception.FacebookOAuthException: Received Facebook error response of type OAuthException: (#200) Requires extended permission: read_stream (code 200, subcode null) at com.restfb.DefaultFacebookClient$DefaultGraphFacebookExceptionMapper.exceptionForTypeAndMessage(DefaultFacebookClient.java:1186) at com.restfb.DefaultFacebookClient.throwFacebookResponseStatusExceptionIfNecessary(DefaultFacebookClient.java:1112) at com.restfb.DefaultFacebookClient.makeRequestAndProcessResponse(DefaultFacebookClient.java:1053) at com.restfb.DefaultFacebookClient.makeRequest(DefaultFacebookClient.java:964) at com.restfb.DefaultFacebookClient.makeRequest(DefaultFacebookClient.java:926) at com.restfb.DefaultFacebookClient.fetchConnection(DefaultFacebookClient.java:356) at org.hive.facebook.restFB_tester.main(restFB_tester.java:29)

I have been trying to solve this but couldn't find any luck. I was able to get data if i use "me/feeds" ,that returns user data.I tried finding it on google and tried different ways but didn't help.I have given all permission while creating token.

Please let me know where i am doing wrong or what can be potential solution for this.Thanks in advance.

You are using old code, and apparently did not bother to check the documentation for what is still possible in current API versions.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_4_deprecations:

he GET /v2.4/{user_id}/home, GET /v2.4/{user_id}/inbox, and GET /v2.4/{user_id}/notifications operations as well as read_stream, read_mailbox, and manage_notifications permissions are deprecated in v2.4.

You simply can not get that data any more. You will have to make to with /me/feed, and the posts that delivers. (Which ones those are, is mentioned in the docs.)
