I want to get a user's wall post (photo or video) shared from Facebook pages. I am using graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/feed option to get this data via read_stream permission. Is there any other option available for the required task?

I have to post status on user's wall through my app whenever required. I am using publish_actions option.

The problem is that these permissions need review from Facebook. I'm working on the website and App review required Privacy Policy URL. Is this possible to submit for review based on local host site address? What should I write in Privacy Policy URL and Terms of Service URL options??? Because my website is in development phase and I need user's account data for further work.

About read_stream:

This permission is granted to apps building a Facebook-branded client on platforms where Facebook is not already available. For example, Android and iOS apps will not be approved for this permission. In addition, Web, Desktop, in-car and TV apps will not be granted this permission.

Source: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.2#reference-read_stream

You may try to use /me/statuses with the user_status permission instead.

Obviously, you cannot send anything in that only runs on localhost, you should have a working prototype showing how exactly you are using the permissions. Also, you are not allowed to autopost anything to the user wall just because he authorized publish_actions. Every single entry has to get approved by the user and every single entry must be 100% user generated.

  • " every single entry must be 100% user generated" does that mean the apps like postplanner.com are illigal - because it lets u post the trending content, which is not generated by user, also the content is reposted without original authors permission. – Sudhir N Jul 23 '17 at 16:48
  • if they prefill the message, then yes. the facebook terms are pretty clear about that. – andyrandy Jul 23 '17 at 17:49
  • on pages, it´s normally allowed. definitely not on user profiles. but you should not do autoposting in any case. – andyrandy Jul 24 '17 at 06:52
  • That app allows both on pages and user profiles though – Sudhir N Jul 24 '17 at 08:13
  • in that case it is not allowed and should actually be reported to facebook – andyrandy Jul 24 '17 at 09:01
