Facebook - Publish Checkins using Graph API
- by Zany
I'm trying to publish Checkin using Facebook Graph API. I've gone through Facebook API documentation (checkins) and also have the publish_checkins permission. However, my checkin is not getting published. May I know is there anything wrong or am I missing anything else? Thank you for your time :)
fbmain.php
$user = $facebook->getUser();
$access_token = $facebook->getAccessToken();
// Session based API call
if ($user) {
try {
$me = $facebook->api('/me');
if($me)
{
$_SESSION['fbID'] = $me['id'];
$uid = $me['id'];
}
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
error_log($e);
}
}
else {
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>top.location.href='$loginUrl';</script>";
exit;
}
$loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl(
array(
'redirect_uri' => $redirect_url,
'scope' => status_update, publish_stream, publish_checkins,
user_checkins, user_location, user_status'
)
);
