I am trying to use the facebook graph API to post to a facebook group that I am the admin of.When I make the POST request,I am getting a 403 access denied error. This indicates some problem with authentication, I believe. I have made sure my user token is valid and that I am asking for the correct permissions. Here is my code handling the request and handling the user permissions:

Request:

$.ajax({url: `https://graph.facebook.com/766394103749626/feed?message=This%is%my%message&link=https://google.com/&access_token=ValidAccessToken`,
        method: "POST"})

Permissions user_friends, user_posts, groups_access_member_info, publish_to_groups

you should encode all get parameters. why not use the js sdk? much easier to handle. i would not even use jquery for a simple ajax call, there is the native fetch api or axios, for example. but that´s just a side note. – andyrandy Jul 19 '18 at 05:55
The response body should contain more information about the error. – CBroe Jul 19 '18 at 06:33
The request did not return a response. – Jakob Neild Jul 19 '18 at 13:16
You are 100% sure? How are you checking the response body? – WizKid Jul 20 '18 at 17:25
Yes, I am sure. I am console logging the response as soon as it comes back and the console log never runs. – Jakob Neild Jul 20 '18 at 20:42
