at the time of this question, if you go here:

http://www.facebook.com/realplayer

you'll see six posts down, I have posted a photo with a message of "#highfive Cincinnati, OH"

but if you to either of these:

http://graph.facebook.com/realplayer/feed
http://graph.facebook.com/realplayer/tagged

the JSON that is returned seemingly includes everything on the wall, except for MY post. there is another photo post from someone else down below mine, and it is showing up (and both my photo and his photo are in the "Fan photos" section)

obviously, since I can see everything with these links already, it appears that access_token is not a part of the equation... BUT, some more info:

  • if I use an access_token from a session that isn't me, I can't see the post in the JSON
  • if I use an access_token from MY logged in session, then I DO see the post in the JSON

so I'm very confused.

if everyone in the world can see those posts on the wall without even authenticating, then I expect all of them to come back in the graph api as well.

anyone have thoughts on this?


I am aware of the "manage_page" permission... which I can use to get a list of accounts and special offline access tokens for those pages... and that's something I can explore... but it seems like alot of work when my post seemingly SHOULD be there in the graph
