I'm working on an api that receives notifications from the meta weebhook every time my page have changes. Currently its in test mode, I just want to test the webhook first. In the process I'm able to verify my callback link but once I want to test one of the fields nothing its send to my server. Feed field that I want to test I have a POST controller in my backend that should take care of the request and its working; How do I know that ? Because one of the only fields that sends a request it send_cart field. Send cart field There is one or two more fields that actually send a request, but 98% of them don't work. Im not sure if there an error on the Meta Graph API or I did something wrong. If anyone had this problem, or has an idea how I could solve it, it would be very helpful; because this should have been a simple project but it's taking me a week, and I'm already embarrassed. If more information its needed I'm gonna be responding all the requests. Thanks ! Below its the server code that I'm working with:

  • This is the controller:
exports.facebookWebhook = (req, res) => {   if(req.query["hub.verify_token"] === "my_token"){     res.status(200).send(req.query["hub.challenge"])   }else{     res.status(400).send({ message: "bad request" })   } } exports.facebookWebhookChanges = (req, res) => {   if (!req.body || Object.keys(req.body).length === 0) {     console.log('Received an empty request body');     res.status(400).send('Bad Request: Request body is empty');     return;   }   console.log(req.body)   res.status(200).send({ message: "Ok" }) } 
  • This is the route:
  app.get("/api/facebook/webhook/", controller.facebookWebhook);   app.post("/api/facebook/webhook/", controller.facebookWebhookChanges); 

I already read all the documentation to make sure Im doing everything good, I have read other people posts that doesnt match with my problem. I asked on facebook developer forum to.

I'm encountering an issue with Facebook's Graph API where it inconsistently scrapes Open Graph (OG) meta tags between different language versions of my website, which is built using Next.js version 14 with an architecture using page router. Specifically, the French version of my URLs (manage by a context) consistently returns all expected OG meta data (title, description, image), whereas the regular English version sometimes only returns minimal data (type, updated_time), missing critical tags like title, description, and image.

Here are the key details:

Platform: Next.js version 14 with dynamic content rendering based on user language preferences, which is managed by a context.

Behavior: When using Facebook's Graph API Explorer or the Sharing Debugger, the French URL (e.g., https://wiseduckdev.vercel.app/fr/gpts/framework) always successfully returns full meta tag information. However, the equivalent English URL (e.g., https://wiseduckdev.vercel.app/gpts/framework) often only returns partial data.

Meta Tags: Both versions use identical setups for Open Graph meta tags, confirmed via direct source inspection and tools like SEO Meta in 1 Click.

 <meta property="og:type" content="website" />           <meta property="og:title" content={pageData.category.og_title} />           <meta             property="og:description"             content={pageData.category.og_description}           />           <meta             property="og:url"             content={               activeLanguage === "FR"                 ? `https://${siteUrl}/fr/gpts/${pageData.category.category}`                 : `https://${siteUrl}/gpts/${pageData.category.category}`             }           />           <meta             property="og:image"             content={`https://${siteUrl}${pageData.category.og_image}`}           />           <meta             property="og:locale"             content={translation.og_locale[activeLanguage]}           /> 

Caching: I've purged both server and Facebook caches and forced re-scraping using Facebook's tools, which sometimes resolves the issue temporarily for English URLs but doesn't provide a consistent fix.

I'm looking for insights or suggestions on why this discrepancy might be occurring and how to ensure consistent meta tag scraping by Facebook across all language versions of my site.

Actions Taken to Resolve the Issue:

  • Meta Tag Verification: Confirmed that both the English and French versions of the site have correctly implemented Open Graph (OG) meta tags (og:title, og:description, og:image) using direct source inspection and SEO Meta in 1 Click.
  • Caching Management: Purged server and Facebook caches to ensure fresh data is being fetched and used the Facebook Sharing Debugger to force re-scraping of the URLs.
  • Server Response Checks: Used curl to simulate Facebook’s scraper requests, verifying that the server sends the correct metadata and appropriate HTTP responses.
  • Dynamic Content Handling: Ensured that metadata is dynamically generated based on user language settings and is properly rendered server-side in both language versions.
  • API Utilization: Utilized Facebook’s Graph API Explorer to manually fetch data for both language versions to check the responses and confirm that the issue persists despite correct setup.

Expectations and Goals:

  • Consistent Meta Tag Scraping: Ensure that Facebook’s scraper consistently retrieves all relevant OG meta tags across all language versions of the site, not just the French version.
  • Understanding Root Cause: Gain insights into why the English version sometimes only returns minimal data (type, updated_time) despite identical setups.
  • Reliable Resolution: Find a reliable solution or workaround that ensures all versions of the site are equally optimized for social media sharing, without needing to manually trigger re-scrapes.

I am trying to get a long-lived access token from the Instagram graph API through a python script. No matter what I do, I keep receiving the following error:

{"error":{"message":"Missing client_id parameter.","type":"OAuthException","code":101,"fbtrace_id":"AogeGpzZGW9AwqCYKHlmKM"}} 

My script is the following:

import requests refresh_token_url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/v19.0/oauth/access_token' payload = {     'grant_type': 'fb_exchange_token',      'client_id': '1234567890123456'     'client_secret': '1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd',         'fb_exchange_token':'abcd1234' } r = requests.get(refresh_token_url, data=payload) 

I am for sure passing the client_id parameter. I verified also by printing r.request.body

On the contrary, the request is successful if I send it with the Postman app:

Why do I keep getting that error message? Thank you!

Hello i want get the title markert in following title:

I'm encountering an inconsistency with accessing the Facebook Graph API. When making requests from my local IP address, I receive the expected JSON responses containing product data. However, attempts from my VPS IP address result in empty responses with no data returned. Here are the responses:

Local IP Response:

{   "data": [     {       "id": "*****",       "name": "4LAE 040 110 S04  (4*11*45L)",       "retailer_id": "ACBrg"     },     // More product data...   ],   "paging": {     "cursors": {       "before": "eyJvZAmZAzZAXQiOjB9",       "after": "eyJvZAmZAzZAXQiOjI0fQZDZD"     },     "next": "https://graph.facebook.com/v18.0/***************/products?access_token=...&pretty=1&limit=25&after=eyJvZAmZAzZAXQiOjI0fQZDZD",     "previous": "https://graph.facebook.com/v18.0/***************/products?access_token=...&pretty=1&limit=25&before=eyJvZAmZAzZAXQiOjB9"   } } 

VPS Response

{   "data": [] } 

Despite using the same URL (https://graph.facebook.com/v18.0/***************/products) and access token, the response from the VPS does not contain any product data. I have ensured that the URL, access token, and server configurations are correct. Any insights on why the VPS responses differ from those of my local IP and how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated."
