I am using the Facebook Video API to publish reels to a facebook page. I can sucessfully publish the reel to my page, but it is not visible to anyone else, meaning it is probably private.

I couldn't find any settign or parameter in the API to make the video public

I assume the issue is with permissions? I am using page access tokens for each page, and these are the permissions set for the app:

read_insights publish_video pages_show_list business_management instagram_basic instagram_manage_comments instagram_manage_insights instagram_content_publish instagram_manage_messages pages_read_engagement pages_manage_metadata pages_read_user_content pages_manage_posts pages_manage_engagement

I hope someone knows what the issue is

I saw that there is another permission: public_profile that should be set, but I just don't see it, it's not in the list of permissions

Do I need to verify the app? (it's in development). I just don't have an actual app, I am using make.com to make api requests to facebook graph api and video api

⁠Sometimes We’re experiencing intermittent issues where some events from Meta aren’t hitting our webhook. The webhook is connected and set up in our Meta App Dashboard. Are there known issues that could cause events to sometimes fail to reach certain webhooks? Any troubleshooting advice or solutions would be appreciated.

I am currently trying to retrieve likes and comments for my post on facebook graph explorer. I get response bug, there is only my like, those other are missing whereas there is really much more likes.

Retrieving comment, all comments are on the response but, comment's authors are missing whereas I set in the field query.

These are the autorisation I set:

  • pages_show_list
  • pages_read_engagement
  • pages_read_user_content
  • pages_manage_posts
  • pages_manage_engagement

This is the response for likes requests from facebook explorer: /404084156710515_625686649729154?fields=comments{from,created_time},likes{id,name,username}

I appreciate your help, thank you.

I'm working on a Facebook integration and need to retrieve comments from posts on any public Facebook Page (not just Pages I manage) using webhooks.

My app type is currently set to Consumer. I read that switching to Business might help, but I’m not sure if that alone will grant broader permissions.

1. What are the steps to follow to request access to public page comments for any Facebook Page?

  1. What app type should I create in the Facebook Developer Apps section, and which specific permissions should I request?

3.Can I convert my app type from Consumer to Business, and if I do, will that allow access to comments on any public Page?

4. How can I add a page to my app to receive comments via Webhooks for Pages I don’t manage?

What I’ve Tried:

  1. My app type is currently set to Consumer. I read that switching to Business might help, but I’m not sure if that alone will grant broader permissions.

  2. I’ve requested pages_read_engagement and pages_manage_engagement, but they only seem to work for Pages that the app or user manages.

  3. Looked into Public Content Access, but the guidelines are unclear on how to access comments specifically.

I'm encountering this issue for the past 3-4 days.
Steps to Reproduce:
Log in to the Meta Developer Suite. Navigate to the section for creating a new WhatsApp API. Proceed through the steps until reaching the API creation page. At this point, the page loads as blank with no visible content or options.
