Issue related to Facebook Graph API

Question

Acctually I am using that code for getting the facebook post data.

Facebook::$CURL_OPTS[CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER] = false;
Facebook::$CURL_OPTS[CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST] = 2;

$facebook = new Facebook(array('appId'  => 'xxxxxxxxxxx', 'secret' => 'xxxxxxxxxxx....xxxxxxx', 'scope'  => 'manage_pages,offline_access,publish_stream,user_photos'));
$result = $facebook->api('/'.$rssfeed_id,'get');

Above code gave some error Like:-

 Fatal error: Uncaught OAuthException: (#15) Requires session when calling from a desktop app thrown in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.5.0\www\sportsflow\sportsflow_v30\lib\base_facebook.php on line 1271

Please give me any solution for above define problem.

Answer 1

Had the same issue. You actually don't need user access token, just make sure in your Facebook app settings (under advanced tab) disable the "Native or Desktop app?" setting.

Answer 2

You need a user to connect in order to give him the permissions.

The Facebook() constructor only takes an app ID and a key:

$facebook = new Facebook(array(
                     'appId'  => 'xxxxxxxxxxx', 
                     'secret' => 'xxxxxxxxxxx....xxxxxxx'));

The permissions should be added to the LoginUrl:

$loginurl = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array(
        'scope'  => 'manage_pages,offline_access,publish_stream,user_photos'));

Once the user clicked on the login URL, you can then use the $facebook instance to get the user session:

$user = $facebook->getUser();

If the user indeed exists, you can finally make the API request you want:

$result = $facebook->api('/'.$rssfeed_id, 'get');
