Hopefully, this is an exhaustive list of things to check when your site won’t scrape: 1) Is your site on a spam blacklist? This is rare, but Facebook and most other tools won’t parse your site at all if it shows up on a spammer blacklist. I use https://admin.uribl.com/ as a checker. If your site … Read more

The token will be refreshed once per day, for up to 90 days, when the person using your app makes a request to Facebook’s servers. All access tokens need to be … Read more
You can avoid this by either getting your content “pre-scraped” by triggering a scrape via API as soon as you publish it, or by specifying the image dimensions via OG meta tags as well. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices#precaching: When content is shared for the first time, the Facebook crawler will scrape and cache the metadata from the URL … Read more
I searched around for a while, and I too thought this wasn’t possible using Graph API. However, I posted a similar question, Replacement for old GetAppUsers call to see a user’s friends who use my application?, for the specific API I was using and was given a great general answer. https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?fields=installed or more generally https://graph.facebook.com/{user … Read more

Simplest fix to hide the comment box after Facebook Like (XFBML version not the iframe one) is as given: .fb_edge_widget_with_comment span.fb_edge_comment_widget iframe.fb_ltr { display: none !important; } Put the CSS style in any of your CSS file and see the magic, it works 🙂
In v2.0 of the API, /me/friends returns friends who also have logged into the app. Apps created on or after April 30th 2014 must use Graph API v2.0; they’re not able to call Graph API v1.0. For apps which were active before April 30th, these apps can call either Graph API v2.0 or Graph API … Read more
Is it possible to get the author of a comment that is posted on a different page? No, that information is not available to you any more. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog/version2.11#gapi-90-pages: /page/* — User information will not be included in GET responses for any objects owned by (on) a Page unless the request is made with a Page … Read more
Okay, figured it out! When configuring the app, I had filled in the “Tab URL” to be “tab/” This made the full url to the tab page “http://www.example.com/myfacebookapp/tab/” This made sense to me. Apparently, Facebook doesn’t like this. After changing my “Tab URL” to ‘tab/index.php”, the signed request started to show up in the app … Read more
