REST Connector for Facebook

[chris_johnson]

Hi all,

I'm coming up with a problem when I try to use the REST API to connect to Facebook. I have previously been successful in doing this (following the instructions in the online help) on my laptop with QS version 3.0

When I try at a client site with QS version 2.2.4 and the standalone REST Connector it works until I specify the paging url details.

Without paging url it connects to Facebook and returns the first 25 results.

When I try to specify the paging url setting then I get an error saying I need to specify an access token. Obviously I have already done this to get the results above (and checked this is still valid in the Facebook Graph API tool).

Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? Or if there are any known issues with the standalone REST connector?

Hi Chris,

I have the same problem, paging does not seem to work. Based on the below, I tried "root/data/paging/next" as Next URL field. Still not working for me, did you manage to solve this one?

Total field path: The path to where the total field amount is stored. For example, JIRA returns the value in the root element, root/total. The connector can use this value to understand when all the data has been loaded.

Hi guys - I did some research on this and got in touch with the products team. I believe I saw an issue around this. I am reaching out to daz‌ - who may be able to provide additional assistance as this WAS working before using the pagination.
