I'm having an issue trying to write the correct GET request using the Facebook API explorer tool.
I'd like to access all my Facebook pages and the below data from their respective posts. I can achieve this by adding the page name manually, but I'd like it to be more dynamic if I was to add more pages in the future.
posts?ids=Pagename,Pagename,Pagename,Pagename&fields=message,created_time,full_picture,shares,likes.summary(true).limit(0),comments.summary(true).limit(0),from,permalink_url
I know you can use me/accounts but I've had no luck when trying the append the above posts GET request.
Furthermore, I'd like to get the page profile picture from the posts. Just adding picture to the above request doesn't work. Since the profile picture is displayed in each post I'd imagine there is a key to access it?
Any help is appreciated.
I discovered the answer after I reread the documentation
https://graph.facebook.com/v7.0/me/accounts?fields=picture,posts{message,created_time,full_picture,shares,likes.summary(true).limit(0),comments.summary(true).limit(0),from,permalink_url}
All attached accounts profile picture + above data.

I'm trying to make parser from facebook page posts to Squarespace blog posts. I already did it for Instagram but I need json file of the Facebook page.
I need something similar as I have for inst (https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/[USER-ID]/media/recent?access_token=[TOKEN]);
I found few articles how to do it but all of them was made before the facebook’s massive data leak and after that they have made many changes to their app’s permissions and imposed many other rules.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/page/feed/
You need a Page Token of the Page if you own the Page
You need Page Public Content Access approved by Facebook for Pages you do not own
Since you tagged the question with the JS SDK: Make sure not to use hardcoded Access Token on the client! They are always meant to be kept secret.
I am aware that I can embed individual Instagram posts to my website in HTML, but I want to embed a live feed consisting of the five most recent posts which update along with the profile in real-time.
For those who want to know why: I want this feature to be part of the "Photoblog" page of my site without having to have visitors navigate away.
How can this be done?
The best way would be to use their API.
You have this endpoint: https://www.instagram.com/USERNAME/media/ where you don't need any token.
It gives you the last 20 posts.
Then you just display that on your site :)
I am creating a personal app and I am having some trouble. I have tried using the Instagram API to get a JSON feed of images by hashtag (any image insta, not just images on my profile).
My issue with the API is that i cannot seem to search public images without having my app in live mode. i keep getting a 400 unauthorized access_token error, even though i do have a valid access token.
I cannot put my app in live mode because insta require a privacy policy url and a company name and I am not a company. I am an independent dev making a personal app.
Whilst searching through stack overflow i cam across this url:
https://www.instagram.com/bikerpicgirl/media/
This allows me to get images by user without the API. I am wondering if anyone knows a similar url where i can get a feed like this but for hashtags instead of users.
I could just make a scraper that mimics the search process but this seems way to overkill and is alot of effort for something that should be so simple.
Yes, you can explore Instagram media by hashtags with this url format:
/explore/tags/your-tag/
for example if hashtag is #amsterdam your url would look something like this:
https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/amsterdam/
As Jon Goodwin mentioned in the comment this example link is subject to change and may not work in the future.
So I am working on a fairly simple project, basically a web page that should list the captions from a certain instagram account. It's all designed, it just needs to be lit up with the content. Have a look at http://evanshellborn.com/speechofthebeets/.
I found that you can see a json file containing all the necessary data at instagram.com/{username}/media. So in my case, https://www.instagram.com/beets_are_life/media/. So before I put that page actually online, I was on my local machine, and I did a JSON call to that page and it worked perfectly. So I built it all out and my web page loaded the captions just like I wanted it to.
Then I went to put it online, (http://evanshellborn.com/speechofthebeets), but it doesn't work. Have a look at the script at the bottom of it, on my localhost that code works and the captions get loaded. But on the live page, I get an access not allowed error in the console. So I think Instagram doesn't allow this sort of direct access anymore, you have to go through their API.
Now I've tried looking at the API but it seems rather confusing. Basically what I'm asking for is a different JSON url that would give me the same result as https://www.instagram.com/beets_are_life/media/, but that would work from the live page.
I think https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN would work, just replacing {user-id} with the appropraite user_id. But where do I get an access token?
From reading https://www.instagram.com/developer/authentication/, it looks like you get one when a user puts in their user credentials. But I don't want to have anyone log in, I just want a simple web page.
Hopefully that made sense. How can I do what I want?
Looks like the API url https://www.instagram.com/beets_are_life/media/ does not support jsonp (no callback support), so u cannot use javascript (client side) for making API request, it will fail because of Access-Control-Allow-Origin error on browser side, you have make this API call on server side as proxy.
I guess https://www.instagram.com/<USER_NAME>/media/ is not a publicly documented API, thats the reason it is not supporting jsonp, Instagram uses it for their website and since it is same-origin it will work for them on client-side
This link will help you embeding the instagram on a simple html webpage.
There is a button on the bottom of the post on instagram.when you click on the link a menu pops up. then click on embed
now a box pops up
just copy paste the html and you are done.
it will fetch the post for you
Please forgive me beacause I'm a noob.
I've been able to get the fb-login-button to appear at the top of my site using facebook social plugins found here:
developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/login/
Currently when you log into my site shows the following:
http://s11.postimage.org/4i1255843/fb_Login_Mysite.jpg
However I want to setup my site to be more like the RT site and just display the persons first name and and also can display some other info around the site like this:
http://s12.postimage.org/6cm7ylyn1/Rotton_Tom.jpg
My question is:
I want to be able to show or hide specific facebook information from the person that is logged in like their name, how many friends they have that use the site and then place that information around the site or on other pages as I choose. Does anyone know how to do this or where some documentation would be on it?
Also when users login/register using facebook I'd like to store their information they give me somewhere like their email address, name, etc.. Does anyone know how I can store this information on a database or other place? Does it get stored in my facebook application?
For your first name and all the information you want to display, first you need to create MySQL database and create a table within it. You can use phpMyAdmin to create it automatically.
Then, you need to connect your database with your PHP site, where your register and login code is used.
You said you are a noob, so I didn't go into detail, becaouse you have great video tutorials right here. Just watch these videos and you will know everything you need to know about creating login & register page.
To create a summary, you need to learn PHP to get ceratin elements and manipulate them (show them on your site etc.).
Hope I helped!
