Question

I have created a Facebook application that has the permission to post on wall, has offline access, and can store access tokens in the database.

The application only needs you to go to canvas page once, and then it will start serving you a “post” every 5 hours.

So as an upgrade, I need to delete the previous post (I have it’s id) and post a new one so we don’t get spam reports.

So how can i delete the Post using an access token and Post ID, like that on Shady Wallas post_id{"id":"1658870381_2143043309837"}

Here is some example data:

 https://graph.facebook.com/    Graph url   
 Shady.wallas                   Profile and User ID  
 1658870381_2143043309837       Post ID  
 "planbxe3qxdfghk......."       Access token  

Answer 1

The Facebook graph API documentation tells you:

You can delete objects in the graph by issuing HTTP DELETE requests to
the object URLs, i.e,

DELETE https://graph.facebook.com/ID?access_token=... HTTP/1.1
