First I tried to post message to my id which successfully sent to my wall. Now I am trying to post a message to a particular friend's Facebook wall using Python as shown in my code below:

friends = graph.get_object("me/friends")
friends_id = friends['data'][0]['id']
graph.put_object(friends_id,"feed",message="For testing purpose sent from terminal")

When I tried to post the message to my friend I am getting the errorL 

"facebook.GraphAPIError: (#200) Feed story publishing to other users is disabled for this application"

I tried to fix the error, but I got the solution like "we are not able to post friend's feed".

It appears that Facebook removed the functionality for posting to other people's walls using this particular API on October 2th 2013.

An alternative method for your use-case would be to use the send dialog.

Although, this sends a message to the user, posting to the wall of a friend is not possible at all.

Please see these questions where this has been discussed previously (on other tags):

  1. Feed story publishing to other users is disabled for this application
  2. Posting to friends' wall with Graph API via 'feed' connection failing since Feb 6th 2013

  • actually, you cannot post anything on the wall of a friend with the feed dialog. you would need to use the send dialog. – andyrandy Jul 12 '14 at 11:42
  • @luschn feel free to edit my community wiki if you know more details :) I've made it a CW intentionally as all I've not got much experience with it. – Ffisegydd Jul 12 '14 at 11:43
  • ah, didn´t know i could do that :) – andyrandy Jul 12 '14 at 12:34
  • we can post message on the others facebook wall using send dialog in python right?? – Python Team Jul 12 '14 at 12:46
  • @PythonTeam you should check the documentation but it looks like it. – Ffisegydd Jul 12 '14 at 12:47
  • python? no, in javascript, with the javascript sdk. well, you cannot post something on their wall, you can send them a message. posting something on the wall of a friend is not possible at all with the API, luckily. i have edited the answer a bit. – andyrandy Jul 12 '14 at 16:06
  • btw, the date was wrong too, it was removed in october 2013: "Removing the ability to post to friends' timelines via API" – andyrandy Jul 12 '14 at 16:10
