Question

Fairly new to Open Graph. I am able to post an action with (using the sample code from when I created the action on the dev app page):

curl -F 'access_token=xxx' \
-F 'chatter=http://samples.ogp.me/225477284175782' \
-F 'place=134676523236535' \
'https://graph.facebook.com/me/[my_app]:[my_action]'

Everything looks fine on my timeline.. But when I tried to add “friend tags” using this:

curl -F 'access_token=xxx' \
-F 'chatter=http://samples.ogp.me/225477284175782' \
-F 'place=134676523236535' \
-F 'tags=854450021' \
'https://graph.facebook.com/me/[my_app]:[my_action]'

I got this error:

{"error":{"type":"Exception","message":"One or more of your tags are not allowed."}}

What am I missing? does the user being tagged have to auth the app or something?

Please help! Thanks.

Answer 1

Yeah, until the open graph is live (with Timeline) users can’t be tagged unless they are an admin of the app. I think you also have to be friends with them too.
