Question

Is there a way to poke another user via the Graph API? Based on this post, and using the Graph Explorer, I’m POSTing to “/USERID/pokes”, I’ve granted it (both the Graph API app, and my app) all extended permissions, but I’m still getting:

"error": {
   "message": "(#3) Application does not have the capability to make this API call.", 
   "type": "OAuthException"
  }
}

The previously mentioned post states the app needs to be whitelisted, but that appears to be a different message; for example, if I try to post to my inbox, I get:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "(#3) App must be on whitelist", 
    "type": "OAuthException"
  }
}

So:

1. Is it possible to send a poke via the Graph API?
2. If it is possible, and my app does need to be whitelisted, where do I request it?

Answer 1

The API exists, but it’s whitelisted to Official FB Apps only for now. There’s no timeline on when it will be available generally.
