Per the documentation located here:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/news/

I should be able to post a news.reads?article action by posting the following:

https://graph.facebook.com/me/news.reads?article=[article url]

To test this, I use the Graph API Explorer, found at:

http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer

When I attempt this with my app selected, and me/news.reads?article=http://thesumm.it/CS/21006.html, it tells me “(#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: news.reads”.

When I try this with the default Graph API Explorer, it tells me “(#200) Requires extended permission: publish_actions.” I think this latter one is likely that it won’t grant me the extended permissions for the Graph API Explorer.

Is it possible for me to publish actions with news.reads?article at this point? If so, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

    While the programme is in Beta, its not currently possible to publish news.reads actions.

    In the meantime, create your own read action and post to that instead:

    https://graph.facebook.com/me/appnamespace:read?article=ARTICLE_URL&access_token=TOKEN&method=post
