RussianQuestion
I'm using the graph api.
I have a logged in user, and want to get back a list of page ids of all the pages that the user is an admin of.
Is there a way of doing this? The docs are pretty bad - and circular.
Solution
Its simple with Graph API. Steps:
- Get the
manage_pagespermission from the user (extended permissions). - Call the Graph API - https://graph.facebook.com/me/accounts
You can test this procedure in the graph explorer -> Just click on 'Get Access Token' button-> under 'Extended permission' check 'manage_pages' & submit it. It will give you the admin-page-details JSON.
OTHER TIPS
I solved it with some FQL:
FB.api({method: 'fql.multiquery',
access_token: <access_token>,
queries: {
query1: 'select page_id from page_admin where uid = ' + <uid>,
query2: 'select page_id, name, page_url from page where page_id in (select page_id from #query1)'
}
}, function(queries){
var pages = queries[1].fql_result_set;
}}
You can call FB.api(/me/accounts) if you don't want to use FQL.
'accounts' is a connection of the User object. See the documentation for this @ http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user
Of course, with Facebook, there's always a catch. Right now this method will return not only the pages the user is an admin of, but also what applications they have installed. I'm almost positive this is NOT the intended behavior - I seem to remember using this a few months ago and only getting a list of pages. The documentation makes no mention of applications in this list either.
This is an easy problem to solve though - Facebook returns the name, category, and id for each item on the list, and each application has a category of 'Application'. I'm simply making sure I only list items whose category is not 'Application'.
go to this address
Just click on get Access token and go to extended Permission
Check the manage_pages checkbox
and click Get Access Token
Then under FQL write this
me/accounts?type=page
Click on Submit . and you will get all page lists that logged in user admin
You ask for the permission with the JavaScript SDK on login
FB.login(function(){}, {perms:'manage_pages'});
and then once they log in you can retrieve the pages (and apps) as follow :
FB.api('/me/accounts', function(response){
console.log(response);
})
You can also use "pages_show_list" permission, if you want only the list of facebook pages the user is admin of.
The "manage_pages" permission will ask the user permission to manage his pages, which can may be too much intrusive depending on what you need it for.
Note that your solution returns Pages as well as Applications. If you strictly want Pages, you can use FQL Multiquery with a "Type not equals" clause like this:
{
"query1":"select page_id from page_admin where uid = me()",
"query2":"select page_id, name, page_url, type from page where type!='APPLICATION' AND page_id in (select page_id from #query1)"
}
Permission
$facebook->getLoginUrl( array( "scope" => "manage_pages" ) );
action
$accounts = $facebook->api('/me/accounts');
return $accounts;

With the new GRAPH API v3 with Javascript use the 'tasks' field instead of 'perms' field.
//Example JS Call
FB.api('/me/accounts?fields=name,picture.type(square),access_token,tasks', function(response) {console.log(response)});
//Example Response

Instead of looking of 'ADMINISTER' within the array, look for 'MANAGE'.
