Need Help on OAuthException Code 2500

 

I am trying to develop an Facebook application (apps.facebook.com/some_app) using PHP where I need to present some information based on user's music interests. I found that its under "user_likes > games".

My problems are as follows:

  • To gain access, I have implemented the oauth dialog method as suggested in API in my index page. 
    • $auth_url = "http://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id="
            . $app_id . "&redirect_uri=" 
            . urlencode($canvas_page)
            ."&scope=user_likes";
  • After successful authorization I come back to index page with "code" as parameters. 
    • http://MY_CANVAS_PAGE/?code=some base64 encoded letters
  • Firstly I don't know if I need access_token just to read user's music interests but I have tried all the methods suggested. I couldn't move forward from this point
  • I have a code like this (in my index page), which redirects for authorization if code parameters is not set. 
    • if(empty($code) && !isset($_REQUEST['error'])) {
  $_SESSION['state'] = md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE)); //CSRF protection
  echo("<script> top.location.href='" . $auth_url . "'</script>");
}
  • Currently I am just trying to get user's public information here but with no success. I have tried the signed_request method as suggested but no success 
    • $signed_request = $_REQUEST["signed_request"];
list($encoded_sig, $payload) = explode('.', $signed_request, 2);
$data = json_decode(base64_decode(strtr($payload, '-_', '+/')), true);
echo ("Welcome User: " . $data["user_id"]);

  • Also tried the code found in http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/500/

    but I am getting error when trying to get the debug info using 

    • print_r($decoded_response);

    stdClass Object ( [error] => stdClass Object ( [message] => An active 
access token must be used to query information about the current user. 
[type] => OAuthException [code] => 2500 ) )

    To get user's public info, I have tried also the suggested example in PHP SDK 

    $facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId'  => MY_APP_ID, //registered facebook APP ID
'secret' => MY_SECRET, //secret key for APP
));

$fb_user = $facebook->getUser();

if($fb_user){
    try {
      $user_profile = $facebook->api('/me');
      echo $user_profile['email'];
    }
    catch(FacebookApiException $e) {
      $fb_user = null;
    }
}

    But no success. Can somebody explain me why I am getting this error and how to access the user's music interest properly. Probably I misunderstood the API.

    Thanks

    Error 2500 means you have no access token or an app access token but are trying to access /me/ - 'me' is a placeholder for 'current user or page ID' so won't be valid without an access token for a user or page.

    To access the user's list of likes you'll also need the user_likes Permission when authorising them

    The most likely causes i've seen for apps not being able to exchange the code for an access token are:

  • The redirect_uri you used is to a folder or server root and is missing a trailing slash (ie it's http://www.example.com instead of http://www.example.com/ )
  • The redirect_uri you used in the first call to the auth dialog wasn't precisely the same as the redirect_uri you used in the call to exchagne the code for an access_token

    • If your auth flow is broken for some other reason and you can't figure it out from the SDK examples or the Authentication documentation, this could take a while for someone to talk you through because you may be missing some background knowledge necessary to understand their answers

    For me, I was trying to get an auth token with php and found out that the 2500 error was due to an issue with file_get_contents not returning anything. I could access the URL in my browser, but not by using file_get_contents . I fixed it by using CURL instead as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6325313.

    The result was that I used the code from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/server-side/ and replaced the line: 

    $response = file_get_contents($token_url);

    with 

    $ch = curl_init($token_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);

    It therefore became: 

       $token_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id="
        . $app_id . "&redirect_uri=" . urlencode($redirect_url)
        . "&client_secret=" . $app_secret
        . "&code=" . $code;

    /* Facebook say to use this, but file_get_contents isn't working!
    $response = file_get_contents($token_url,null, $val);
    */

    // Use this as an alternative
    $ch = curl_init($token_url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $response = curl_exec($ch);

    // From https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/server-side/
    $params = null;
    parse_str($response, $params);
    $access_token = $params['access_token'];

    try This code 

    $code = $_REQUEST["code"];
  if(empty($code)) {
    $dialog_url = "http://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=" 
    . $app_id . "&redirect_uri=" . urlencode($my_url) ;
    echo("<script>top.location.href='" . $dialog_url . "'</script>");
  }

  $token_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id="
    . $app_id . "&redirect_uri=" . urlencode($my_url) 
    . "&client_secret=" . $app_secret 
    . "&code=" . $code;
    $response = file_get_contents($token_url);
    $params = null;
    parse_str($response, $params);
    $access_token = $params['access_token'];

    PS:user email address is not a public info & you need user_email permission for it
