How do I post to Facebook Graph API with Coldfusion?
The following works fine up until my cfhttp post.
I want to post with cfhttp to a user's wall/timeline.
<!--- This is the page that you call and also use as the redirect_uri... facebook returns code and state in the URL --->
<cfparam name="URL.code" default="" type="string">
<cfparam name="URL.state" default="" type="string">
<cfif #URL.code# EQ "">
<cfparam name="URL.error_reason" default="" type="string">
<cfparam name="URL.error" default="" type="string">
<cfparam name="URL.error_description" default="" type="string">
<cfmail charset="utf-8" type="html" server="mail.mysite.com" from="messages@mysite.com" to="messages@mysite.com" subject="Facebook Authentication Denial">
#SESSION.my_profile_id#: #SESSION.my_profile_username#
#URL.error_reason#<br/>
#URL.error#<br/>
#URL.error_description#<br/>
</cfmail>
<cfabort>
<cfelse>
<cfhttp
method="get"
result="my_fb_user_token"/>
<cfif #my_fb_user_token.filecontent# CONTAINS "access_token=">
<cfset new_token = ReplaceNoCase(#my_fb_user_token.filecontent#,"&expires","|","all")>
<cfset new_token = REReplaceNoCase(#new_token#,"\|.*$","")>
<cfquery name="fb_confusion" datasource="#dsn#" maxrows="1">
SELECT facebook_id
FROM my_profile
WHERE my_profile_id = '#SESSION.my_profile_id#'
</cfquery>
<cfoutput>#new_token#</cfoutput>
<hr/>
<cfhttp
method="get"
url="https://graph.facebook.com/me?#new_token#"
result="my_fb_user"/>
<cfoutput>https://graph.facebook.com/#fb_confusion.facebook_id#/feed?#new_token#</cfoutput>
<hr/>
<cfoutput>
<cfhttp url="https://graph.facebook.com/me/mysite:add?group=http://www.mysite.com/dbf/test_group.cfm&#new_token#"
result="fb_publish"
method="post"
multipart="yes">
<cfhttpparam name="appID" value="myappid" encoded="no" type="url">
<cfhttpparam name="access_token" value="#my_fb_user_token.filecontent#" encoded="no" type="url">
<cfhttpparam name="message" value="Test" encoded="no" type="url">
<cfhttpparam name="link" value="http://www.mysite.com" encoded="no" type="url">
<cfhttpparam name="name" value="Test" encoded="no" type="url">
<cfhttpparam name="caption" value="Testing fb api" encoded="no" type="url">
<cfhttpparam name="description" value="Testing to see if this posts" encoded="no" type="url">
</cfhttp>
</cfoutput>
<cfdump var="#fb_publish.filecontent#">
</cfif>
</cfif>
The message returned from the fb_publish dump is:
{"error":{"message":"Invalid OAuth access token.","type":"OAuthException","code":190}}
Ok thank you Ray C for helping out with this. Couple things... first, the URL being called by the http post needs to synch up with what facebook requires.
https://graph.facebook.com/me/[YOUR_APP_NAMESPACE]:cook?recipe=OBJECT_URL&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
Next, all the type="url" in the cfhttp form params needed to be changed to formfield.
Now it works.
Thanks!
