Question

I am trying to get user status updates using the graph API.

These are my steps

1. The user grants me user_status,read_stream permission

2. then my app does the following.

   1. https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=".$FBappID."&client_secret=".$FBappSecret
      and get the $AccessToken

   2. next i goto https://graph.facebook.com/the-username/permissions?access_token=$AccessToken

   3. i make sure read_stream and user_status = 1

   4. then i try https://graph.facebook.com/the-username/statuses?access_token=$AccessToken

when i do this i get the error ” failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request”

Answer 1

First to get the token from facebook, the url must set like

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=[App_id]&redirect_uri=http://[you app uri]/url/where_you_recive_the_token_from facebook

This will redirect something like:

http://you_app_uri/url/?code=[Code Generated By Facebook String(196)]

Then you can used

https://graph.facebook.com/the-username/statuses?access_token=$_GET['code']
