News Indexing

Take Your News Integration Live

Once you have indexed an article in development, you can change the scope to publish the article on the Facebook News tab.

Change the Scope

Before You Start

You will need:

  • Your System User access token
  • The URL for the indexed article
  • Access to the Facebook News Tab

Send a POST request to the id parameter and set url to the URL for your indexed article, scope to news_tab, and access_token to your system user access token.

Sample Request

Formatted for readability.
curl -i -X POST "https://graph.facebook.com/?id=https://www.mynewsarticle.com
  &scopes=news_tab
  &access_token={system-user-access-token}"

On success, the following response will be returned:

{
  "url": "https://www.mynewsarticle.com",
  "scopes":
  {
    "news_tab": "INDEXED"
  }
}

Rate Limits

For calls made while in development mode, scope = news_tab, the following limits apply:

  • 1 distinct URL request per minute
  • 750 requests per hour
