Question

I’m trying to return events for a specific account. This a query that used to work but one morning decided not to. Pasting it into facebook’s query console, I get all of the results but on my actual site it returns an empty array. Why?

SELECT
          eid, name, pic, start_time, end_time, location, description 
        FROM
          event
        WHERE
          eid
           IN ( SELECT
                    eid
                  FROM
                    event_member
                  WHERE
                    uid = 256179217727449 ) 
            AND
              start_time > 1326725270
        ORDER BY
          start_time asc

Answer 1

There’s a few reasons why this query would stop working.

1. The access token is expired
2. Your facebook app is disabled
3. Your event is gone
4. The uid is no longer active
5. Your access token is not setup for user_events
6. The start time has changed to before the time code specified
7. The uid is no longer a facebook user

My suggestion, try your FQL using the Graph API Explorer at: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer and add to your question the results it returns.
