Facebook Graph API commenting on mentions thorws OAuthException

Question

I'm using /user/mentions edge to create comment on Instagram post my Instagram Business User was mentioned, like this: POST: user_id/mentions?media_id=media_id&message=some_message .

The documentation https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/user/mentions says that I need instagram_basic, instagram_manage_comments and one of manage_pages, ads_management, business_management permissions.

I have following permissions: instagram_basic, instagram_manage_comments and manage_pages, but still getting "(#10) Application does not have permission for this action".

Do I still need all permissions or something is wrong with my request?

What you are doing right now is a POST request, but you send the parameters in the URL. Click on "Add a Field" to add POST variables instead.

If that does not solve it, then i assume it´sa review thing. The error message usually means that you need to get whitelisted, or reviewed.

Also, try adding the following permissions: ads_management, manage_pages, business_management . And if you want to reply to a comment that includes the mention tag, you need to add the comment_id to.
