I am trying to publish a page post with multiple photos via the Facebook's graph api.
Currently from the docs and another question here it's stated that the photos should be uploaded separately and then publish the post with attached_media parameter.
The photos are uploaded fine without any problem and I get their IDs. The issue is that the request for publishing the post gives:
{
"error": {
"message": "An unknown error has occurred.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 1,
"fbtrace_id": "SOME TRACE ID"
}
If I remove the attached_media parameter from the request the post is published fine.. Any Idea what can be the issue?
Specially for CBroe here are the reqiests: For the photo upload:
endpoint: /{page-id}/photos
payload:
{
"url": "some-image-url",
"caption": "Some image caption",
"published": false
}
endpoint: /{page-id}/feed
payload:
{
"message": "Some post message",
"published": false,
"attached_media": [
{"media_fbid": "PHOTO_ID_RETURNED_FROM_THE_ABOVE_REQUEST"}
]
}
The payload is send as json to the endpoint. This request works only if I remove the attached_media
parameter.
Add publish_to_groups permission to the access token and the request for the post should be with parameter published: true. It appears to have a bug in the graph api or lack of information in the official docs.
Currently in order to publish a page post with multiple photos you will need to:
All of this does not make really sense to me, so I opened a bug report in the developers platform of Facebook. It does not looks right during development of the App to publish live posts to the page...
I'll edit the answer once I have a feedback.
