I am trying to post on specific group of users on facebook such as (close friends, or family, or college friend...) and I used the code bellow.
code that I used:
1
FacebookClient fpost1 = new FacebookClient(access_token);
fpost1.Post("/1234567890/feed", new { message = "test post"});
note: access_token is working correctly when I am doing some job before this exception.
I put my friendlist id instead of 1234567890, that you can get it from graph .../me?fields=friendlists
it did not work and gave me this error "(OAuthException - #2) An unexpected error has occurred. Please retry your request later."
2
FacebookClient fpost1 = new FacebookClient(access_token);
fpost1.Post("/me/feed", new { message = "it is very cold.", to="1234567890"});
this one work, but it post to "only me" as target.
thank you
It looks to me that what you are doing here...
FacebookClient fpost1 = new FacebookClient(access_token);
fpost1.Post("/1234567890/feed", new { message = "test post"});
is wrong. Because I believe that 1234567890 is a user-id, right? Not a friendslist-id. According to the documentation this edge/endpoint signature goes like....
/{user-id}/feed
where user-id is obviously a user id. The documentation states that...
Most nodes in the Graph API have edges that can be published to (such as Photos or Posts). All Graph API publishing is done simply with an HTTP POST request to the relevant endpoint with any necesssary parameters included. For example, if you wanted to publish a post on behalf of someone, you would make an HTTP POST request as below:
POST graph.facebook.com
/{user-id}/feed?
message={message}&
access_token={access-token}
Notice that it says "On Behalf of Someone". My understanding is that you are publishing on behalf of someone and to do that, this someone must have requested an access_token through your application. In other words, if this user hasn't logged in to your app and generated a valid access token you cannot publish on his/her wall
POST graph.facebook.com
me/feed?message="hello"&privacy={"value": "CUSTOM", "allow": "1234567890"}
where the 1234567890 is one of friendlists id

I am trying to post to a facebook group via the graph api in c#.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/group/feed
According to the api I can post a message as well as a link to a url, here is my code to try and do this:
Uri result;
bool X = Uri.TryCreate(url, UriKind.Absolute, out result)
if(X){
// POST to group FB
dynamic fbInfo = fb.Post("/v2.2/" + "groupID" + "/feed", new
{
message = websiteDesc,
link = url
});
var fbInfoJson = fbInfo.ToString();
}
First i check that the url is absolute and if so proceed to post to the facebook group.
so far this code does post to the group but only the message and not the link.
How can I get it to post the link?
Also the api says that I can include a photo to the post but it must be a string, can i assume this is the url of the image?
Thanks in advance :)
I am not entirely sure, but the docs say "Either link or message must be supplied" so maybe you can only post a message OR a link. Definitely worth to try. It must be an absolute URL, of course. Same goes for the picture.
Posting in a group is pretty hard nowadays anyway, since you would need user_groups and publish_actions for that - and you will not get user_groups approved so you can´t use it for a public App. It will only work for users with a role in the App (Admin, Developer, Tester).
it is been few days that I can not post a message from my app to specific groups of friends in Facebook, I am using asp.net MVC, before that I was using following code to post for only one list of friends " for example: close friend" but now it always post to all friends even when I specify target group.
FacebookClient fpost1 = new FacebookClient(context.AccessToken.ToString());
fpost1.Post("/me/feed", new { message = "test message", to = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" });
what should be changed to post for only specific list. consider xxxxxxxxxxxx as a close friend list id.
Assuming your app is a website, the easiest way to do this is to just use the share button and let the user pick the group he wants to post to.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/share-button/
If your app is mobile, you can use the Share Dialog

I'm developing an asp.net MVC 3 Facebook app and I am trying to post a message to my wall. Here is my code:
FacebookWebClient client = new FacebookWebClient();
// Post to user's wall
var postparameters = new Dictionary<string, object>();
postparameters["message"] = "Hello world!";
postparameters["name"] = "This is a name";
postparameters["link"] = "http://thisisalink.com;
postparameters["description"] = "This is a description";
var result = client.Post("/me/feed", postparameters);
I can get the access token using client.AccessToken, so I'm assuming I don't have to set it anywhere. This code produces no errors and for the result I get an ID. However, when I bring up my Facebook, I see nothing on my wall nor in my news feed. I'm not sure what I'm missing. I've looked at related questions here at StackOverflow, but I see no reports/questions similar to mine. I've also tried changing the code based on what I've seen in other posts, but to no avail. I also checked my Facebook account settings and I see my application listed with permission to post to my wall. I also tried posting a message to my wall via the Graph API explorer and I'm getting the same result. I get an ID in return, but when I check my Facebook account I see nothing. At been at this for a couple of days. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
[EDIT]
I wonder if something is wrong with my app generated access_token. Using this access_token, as I mentioned in my post, I get the same result using the Graph API explorer. An ID is returned, but no message on my wall. However, if I give the Graph API explorer permission to post to my wall and use its own generated access_token, I can successfully post a message using the explorer. Here's the FB login button code:
<div>
<h1>Login using Facebook</h1>
<p><fb:login-button perms="user_location, publish_stream, email"></fb:login-button></p>
</div>
Basically you need to add an additional parameter into your post parameters.
args["access_token"] = account.access_token;
this is the token of the specific page.
I wont repeat the code, follow here for example: Post On Facebook Page As Page Not As Admin User Using Facebook C# SDK
(second answer)
Did you request right App permissions to Facebook in your action method?
Try: [CanvasAuthorize(Permissions = "user_location, publish_stream, email")]
Did you append the access_token to the URL? See example here. It's also documented here (see Using the Access Token).
/me/feed?access_token=<access_token>
with one small change, your code works fine for me. you have to pass the users auth token into the constructor like this...
var client = new FacebookClient(accessToken);
// Post to user's wall
var postparameters = new Dictionary<string, object>();
postparameters["message"] = "Hello world!";
postparameters["name"] = "This is a name";
postparameters["link"] = "http://thisisalink.com;
postparameters["description"] = "This is a description";
var result = client.Post("/me/feed", postparameters);
this method works for me, although i am not sure which facebook sdk you are using.
i'm using http://facebooksdk.net/ its quite good so if you're not using it i would recommend it
I am using the latest facebook c# sdk (http://facebooksdk.codeplex.com/). After i have sent an apprequest, i want to delete the request id.
This is how i do it at the moment:
var app = new FacebookClient(appid, appsecret);
app.Delete(requestID);
But i am not sure if its get deleted or not. If i try to see if it still exist using the graph api i get:
{
"error": {
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"message": "Unsupported get request."
}
}
But the user still has the request in his notification area. So my question is> Is the request deleted, or did i miss something? Thanks
var url = "https://graph.facebook.com/{0}?access_token={1}";
fb.Delete((String.Format(url, fullRequestId, fb.AccessToken)));
First parameter is requestId and user id like -> fullRequestId = requestId + "_" + fbUser.id
Second parameter is Accesstoken
I'm just getting started on this myself, but I'm guessing that you need to instantiate the FacebookClient with the authorization code from the user, not with your application data. The way I understand it, the request is sent by the user not your application. Hence the need to use the users authorization code to get information about the requeset.
This is what's working for me (sorry it's VB.Net):
Dim fb As FacebookClient = New FacebookClient(Config.FacebookAppId,Config.FacebookAppSecret)
Dim result = fb.Delete(String.Format("{0}_{1}?access_token={2}", facebookRequestId, facebookUserId, fb.AccessToken))
Anybody know where I can find a simple example C# code example? Apparently really tough to find.
I'm just starting out, got my Developer key.
Initial (really noob question/presumption) - -Can (should/must) my solution be a web service client? No new libraries I need to install in .Net right?
Basically, as a test, I want to be able to securely present a single note from a private notebook in html similar to what the Everfort export in html looks like on a outside WebSite.
Many Thanks in Advance!
You should start by downloading our API ZIP from http://www.evernote.com/about/developer/api/. You'll find C# client sample code in /sample/csharp. This sample code demonstrates using the Evernote API from a desktop application that authenticates using username and password.
I am not sure if you ever got this working, but I was playing around with Evernote, OpenAuth and C# this morning and managed to get it all working. I have put together a blog post / library explaining the experience and outlining how to do it with MVC here - http://www.shaunmccarthy.com/evernote-oauth-csharp/ - it uses the AsyncOAuth library: https://github.com/neuecc/AsyncOAuth
I wrote a wrapper around AsyncOAuth that you might find useful here: https://github.com/shaunmccarthy/AsyncOAuth.Evernote.Simple
One prickly thing to be aware of - the Evernote Endpoints (/oauth and /OAuth.action) are case sensitive
// Download the library from https://github.com/shaunmccarthy/AsyncOAuth.Evernote.Simple
// Configure the Authorizer with the URL of the Evernote service,
// your key, and your secret.
var EvernoteAuthorizer = new EvernoteAuthorizer(
"https://sandbox.evernote.com",
"slyrp-1234", // Not my real id / secret :)
"7acafe123456badb123");
// First of all, get a request token from Evernote - this causes a
// webrequest from your server to Evernote.
// The callBackUrl is the URL you want the user to return to once
// they validate the app
var requestToken = EvernoteAuthorizer.GetRequestToken(callBackUrl);
// Persist this token, as we are going to redirect the user to
// Evernote to Authorize this app
Session["RequestToken"] = requestToken;
// Generate the Evernote URL that we will redirect the user to in
// order to
var callForwardUrl = EvernoteAuthorizer.BuildAuthorizeUrl(requestToken);
// Redirect the user (e.g. MVC)
return Redirect(callForwardUrl);
// ... Once the user authroizes the app, they get redirected to callBackUrl
// where we parse the request parameter oauth_validator and finally get
// our credentials
// null = they didn't authorize us
var credentials = EvernoteAuthorizer.ParseAccessToken(
Request.QueryString["oauth_verifier"],
Session["RequestToken"] as RequestToken);
// Example of how to use the credential with Evernote SDK
var noteStoreUrl = EvernoteCredentials.NotebookUrl;
var noteStoreTransport = new THttpClient(new Uri(noteStoreUrl));
var noteStoreProtocol = new TBinaryProtocol(noteStoreTransport);
var noteStore = new NoteStore.Client(noteStoreProtocol);
List<Notebook> notebooks = client.listNotebooks(EvernoteCredentials.AuthToken);
http://weblogs.asp.net/psteele/archive/2010/08/06/edamlibrary-evernote-library-for-c.aspx might help. As the author states it just bundles some and fixes some. Haven't tried it myself but thought I'd mention for a possibly easier way to get started. Possibly.
This might help too...found it using the Way Back Machine since the original blog site was offline.
