Limitations

  • Expired Posts – If a Post has expired, you will no longer be able to view the content using the Graph API.
  • Maximum Posts
    • The API will return approximately 600 ranked, published posts per year.
    • You can only read a maximum of 100 feed posts with the limit field. If you try to read more than that you will get an error message to not exceed 100.
  • Message CTA - Posts with message CTAs cannot be accessed using another Page's access token since Pages cannot message other Pages.
  • Publicly Identifiable Information - User information will not be in included in responses unless you make the request with a Page access token.
  • Published Posts – Published and unpublished posts will be returned when querying the `/{page-id}/feed` endpoint. Use the 'is_published` field to return only published posts.
  • Shared Posts - A Page post which shares a post from another Page or person may not be visible if the original post isn't visible with the access token used.
  • Tagged Posts - When you use /{page-id}/tagged to show the posts that tagged this Page, the results include posts from other Pages only if those Pages are authentic.
  • User Agents - The available user agents allowed for these Graph API calls are subject to change without notice. If you are experiencing issues, you may want to change to a newer version of your particular user agent.
  • Video Posts - To get a list of video posts, the person making the request must be an admin of the Page.
  • Reels To get a list of Reels published to your Page, use the Page VideoReels edge.

Limitation: All posts (published and unpublished) will be pulled in the feed endpoint. The only difference is unpublished posts will not be listed in the physical feed. However, there is an is_published field that can be added to the /feed endpoint to let developers know whether the post listed in the /feed endpoint is published or not

Unpublished Page Posts

We support the following types of Unpublished Page Posts:

Post TypeDescription

Link

A link Page post is most effective for sharing links to your website. Allows for optional replacement of image and extra text.
Note: A Youtube video link will be a link Page post.

Unpublished Page posts are treated the same as published Page posts except that they do not appear in /feed.

To see a list of unpublished Page posts, query the is_published field.

curl -i -X GET \
 "https://graph.facebook.com/{page-id}/feed
 ?fields=is_published
 &access_token={your-page-access-token}"
GraphRequest request = GraphRequest.newGraphPathRequest(
  accessToken,
  "/{page-id}/feed",
  new GraphRequest.Callback() {
    @Override
    public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
      // Insert your code here
    }
});

Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString("fields", "is_published");
request.setParameters(parameters);
request.executeAsync();
FBSDKGraphRequest *request = [[FBSDKGraphRequest alloc]
    initWithGraphPath:@"/{page-id}/feed"
           parameters:@{ @"fields": @"is_published",}
           HTTPMethod:@"GET"];
[request startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
    // Insert your code here
}];
FB.api(
  '/{page-id}/feed',
  'GET',
  {"fields":"is_published"},
  function(response) {
      // Insert your code here
  }
);
try {
  // Returns a `FacebookFacebookResponse` object
  $response = $fb->get(
    '/{page-id}/feed?fields=is_published',
    '{access-token}'
  );
} catch(FacebookExceptionsFacebookResponseException $e) {
  echo 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
  exit;
} catch(FacebookExceptionsFacebookSDKException $e) {
  echo 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
  exit;
}
$graphNode = $response->getGraphNode();

To view a post on Facebook.com, you can navigate to https://www.facebook.com/{post-id} for most post types, or retrieve the actions field of the post, which contains the URL at which a User can like or comment on the post.

Custom Link Page Post Image

Post a link to a Page with a customized link image. The story's attachment renders an image retrieved from the link. Currently it is possible to override that image by providing an optional picture parameter with a URL to a new image. The thumbnail parameter offers similar functionality with the key difference being that the parameter accepts a local image file which is uploaded to Facebook in the API call.

Permissions

  • A Page access token is required.
  • The link must be owned by the posting Page.

To verify link ownership, check the ownership_permissions{can_customize_link_posts} field on the URL node. You must call this endpoint before posting new links. Without this step, custom link Page posts will not work for un-scraped links. See our Link Ownership Guide for more information. For versions 2.10 and lower, picture, name, thumbnail, and description are deprecated. caption is deprecated for all versions.

ParametersTypeDescription

description

string

The description of the link (appears beneath the link caption). If not specified, this field is automatically populated by information scraped from the link, typically the title of the page.

name

string

The name of the link attachment. This field is automatically populated by information scraped from the link.

picture

string

URL for the image. Image is sourced from the URL supplied in picture

thumbnail

file

Image file to be uploaded. Accepts .jpg .jpeg .gif or .png. Image is sourced from the file uploaded in thumbnail

Limitations

  • The thumbnail parameter is only available for link posts on Facebook Pages.
  • The thumbnail parameter takes higher precedence over the picture parameter. If both are supplied the picture parameter is unused.
  • The thumbnail parameter accepts images with extension .jpg.jpeg.gif or .png.
  • The thumbnail parameter is not supported in batch requests.

Posting a Link to a Page

Post a link to a Page by sending a POST request to the /page/feed edge. Set the publish parameter to 1 to publish the post immediately or to 0 to create an unpublished post to be published later.

Sample Request

curl -i -X POST "https://graph.facebook.com/{your-page-id}/feed
  ?message=Become%20a%20Facebook%20developer!
  &link=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com
  &published=1
  &access_token={your-page-access-token}"
GraphRequest request = GraphRequest.newPostRequest(
  accessToken,
  "/{your-page-id}/feed",
  new JSONObject("{\"message\":\"Become a Facebook developer!\",\"link\":\"https://developers.facebook.com\",\"published\":\"1\"}"),
  new GraphRequest.Callback() {
    @Override
    public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
      // Insert your code here
    }
});
request.executeAsync();
FBSDKGraphRequest *request = [[FBSDKGraphRequest alloc]
    initWithGraphPath:@"/{your-page-id}/feed"
           parameters:@{ @"message": @"Become a Facebook developer!",@"link": @"https://developers.facebook.com",@"published": @"1",}
           HTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
    // Insert your code here
}];
FB.api(
  '/{your-page-id}/feed',
  'POST',
  {"message":"Become a Facebook developer!","link":"https://developers.facebook.com","published":"1"},
  function(response) {
      // Insert your code here
  }
);
try {
  // Returns a `FacebookFacebookResponse` object
  $response = $fb->post(
    '/{your-page-id}/feed',
    array (
      'message' => 'Become a Facebook developer!',
      'link' => 'https://developers.facebook.com',
      'published' => '1'
    ),
    '{access-token}'
  );
} catch(FacebookExceptionsFacebookResponseException $e) {
  echo 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
  exit;
} catch(FacebookExceptionsFacebookSDKException $e) {
  echo 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
  exit;
}
$graphNode = $response->getGraphNode();

Sample Response

{"id":"{post-id}"}

Link Page Post with Call to Action

The call_to_action field specifies the appropriate action and relevant link. This link should be the same as the link parameter of the Page Post. In this call, title, description, caption and picture are optional, and when not provided, Facebook will read the equivalent properties from the link's Open Graph meta data. If the linked web page does not have Open Graph meta data, Facebook will try to guess these properties by scraping the web page's content.

Sample Request

curl -i -X POST "https://graph.facebook.com/{your-page-id}/feed
  ?message=Become a Facebook developer!
  &link=https://developers.facebook.com
  &call_to_action={"type":"SIGN_UP","value":{"link":"https://developers.facebook.com"}}
  &published=1
  &access_token={your-page-access-token}"

  accessToken,
  "/{your-page-id}/feed",

  new GraphRequest.Callback() {
    @Override
    public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
      // Insert your code here
    }
});
request.executeAsync();

           HTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
    // Insert your code here
}];
FB.api(
  '/{your-page-id}/feed',
  'POST',
  {"message":"Become a Facebook developer!","link":"https://developers.facebook.com","published":"1","call_to_action":"{\"type\":\"SIGN_UP\",\"value\":{\"link\":\"https://developers.facebook.com\"}}"},
  function(response) {
      // Insert your code here
  }
);
try {
  // Returns a `FacebookFacebookResponse` object
  $response = $fb->post(

      'link' => 'https://developers.facebook.com',
      'published' => '1',
      'call_to_action' => '{"type":"SIGN_UP","value":{"link":"https://developers.facebook.com"}}'
    ),
    '{access-token}'
