How do I use the fbtrace_id to find more information?

Question

The Facebook Graph API often throws errors and mentions you can use the fbtrace_id to find out more information about the error.

Every time I try to use the fbtrace_id, I get another error with a new fbtrace_id. It goes in a circle.

Then I click that and I get this: And so on.

_“and mentions you can use the fbtrace_id to find out more information about the error”_ – really, where does it mention that …? — CBroe, Jun 29 '17 at 07:57

fbtrace_id is something you will include when reporting a bug to the Facebook support team.

fbtrace_id: Internal support identifier. When reporting a bug related to a Graph API call, include the fbtrace_id to help us find log data for debugging.

Would be nice if they exposed a tool to get more information on an error... – Ben Winding Aug 08 '19 at 09:16
@BenWinding Yeah that should be great, but I don't see that happening since it might reveal information about Facebooks internal systems including security vulnrebillities. – OCP30pt1c1l1l43-X1z17 Jul 05 '22 at 07:53
