How to delete facebook post programmatically that has not been posted by your application?

How to delete Facebook post that is not posted by your application?

  1. Using graph API - according to docs

/* make the API call */
new GraphRequest( AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(), "/{post-id}", null, HttpMethod.DELETE, new GraphRequest.Callback() { public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) { /* handle the result */ } } ).executeAsync();

Above code is not working.

It is giving error:-

{
  "error": {
    "message": "(#200) This post wasn't created by the application",
    "type": "OAuthException",
    "code": 200,
  }
}
  1. Or does there exist some other method?
Solution

  • According to the Graph API reference:

    An app can delete any post it published, or a page-management app can delete a Post published to a Page that the app manages.

    So it depends on what you are doing.
