Question

I want to get a user status messages using the Facebook graph API. I have created an APP and with the help of APP ID/APP Secret code, I can get the access token and then get the posts by the user successfully with the following URL:

https://graph.facebook.com/USERID?fields=posts&access_token=XXX

But, I can not get the status message of the user. I am trying following:

https://graph.facebook.com/USERID/statuses?access_token=XXX

I get the following error:

{
   "error": {
      "message": "A user access token is required to request this resource.",
      "type": "OAuthException",
      "code": 102
   }
}

How can I get the status message of the user? Thanks.

Read out the error message clearly:

It says you are not passing the access_token properly.

https://graph.facebook.com/**UserID**/statuses?access_token=**PASS_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE**

I hope your token have ‘user_status’ and ‘friend_status’ permissions.

Hope it helps.
