Question

My application, created today, runs fine when I use it with my account. On any other account however, the following error is sent back as a response:

message: "(#298) You must be a developer of the application"
type: "OAuthException"

The exact code I’m using to send the request is this:

FB.api('/me/threads', {limit: 1000}, function(response){ ....

I have found someone experiencing the same problem, but the response he accepted didn’t really provide any useful information. ( Reading over inbox, I get error #298).

Anyone have a clue on how to solve this? Would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I’m guessing you have the read_mailbox permission?

Try accessing the /me/inbox connection instead?

Facebook tells you (from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/thread/):

Please note: We are in the process of making the new messages system
available to all users, at which point this API will replace the
/inbox/ Graph API endpoint. We are providing early access to this API
for registered developer accounts only until the new messaging system
is broadly available. You should use the /inbox endpoint for
production applications at the current time.

That is, only the current apps developers will be able to use the threads-connection for now (but it will be available later).
