I am using this solution to select an individual post from a user's feed.
I am using PHP Facebook SDK on the latest version 5.7.
Previously this had worked with no problem, I made my request like:
$response = $this->fb->get(
'/'.$user['id']. '_' .$post_id.'/?fields=id,description,name,full_picture',
$this->get_access_token()
);
And I would get all the fields. However, over the last few months, this has stopped working.
The access_token requests the following permissions:
['user_events', 'user_posts']
I can't find any documentation on the solution outlined in the Stack Overflow post. So I am not sure if I need any more permissions.
I do not get an error when sending this request, I just get the ID back and nothing else. This can be confirmed in the Graph API Explorer:
The v5.0 docs show that when requesting a post I can get full_picture, name and description without mentioning any additional permissions required.
However that same page recommends making the request with just the post ID:
/* PHP SDK v5.0.0 */
/* make the API call */
try {
// Returns a `Facebook\FacebookResponse` object
$response = $fb->get(
'/{post-id}',
'{access-token}'
);
}
Which does not work, you
{
"error": {
"message": "(#12) singular statuses API is deprecated for versions v2.4 and higher",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 12,
"fbtrace_id": "ACs2rpwobcW8zSFyL_0Q2yQ"
}
}
The error does mention statuses and not posts but I am not sure how to distinguish the difference between those, I figured they were the same.
Has anyone else stumbled across this and found a solution?
