FACEBOOK GRAPH API : Error while trying to access user information - facebook-graph-api-v2.6

I am trying to make a GET request to facebook graph API. When i introduce locale,timezone and gender to the below URL, I receive an error -
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/USER_ID?fields=first_name,last_name,profile_pic,locale,timezone,gender&access_token=PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN
error
message "(#100) Insufficient permission to access user profile."
type "OAuthException"
code 100
error_subcode 2018247
fbtrace_id "EcbnYPgb/sm"
Please help as I am unable to understand why that would be the case.

It's your inclusion of locale,timezone,gender which is causing this error.
According to Facebook's recent changes, for apps created after July 26, 2018 to access additional user profile fields app developers must apply for each field in the Messenger Platform tab of the app console.

Microsoft Graph API - MailboxNotEnabledForRESTAPI 404 error on beta/users/{id}/photo

I am trying to fetch users profile photo using the beta endpoint beta/users/{id}/photo of the Microsoft Graph API
but I get a 404 MailboxNotEnabledForRESTAPI error
error: {
code: 'MailboxNotEnabledForRESTAPI',
message: 'REST API is not yet supported for this mailbox.'
...
The error does not make sense because I am trying to access Azure Ad profile picture which should not have anything to do with mailbox.
Would anyone know if I am missing something?
The endpoint you're using says the following about getting a user picture:
Note: When attempting to GET a user photo, this operation first attempts to retrieve the specified photo from Microsoft 365. If the photo is not available in Microsoft 365, the API attempts to retrieve the photo from Azure Active Directory.
Historically the user profile picture was stored in the Exchange server, apparently they are now also saving the image somewhere else.
To check your issue, I've added a picture to a user that doesn't have any license. And started trying requests in the Graph Explorer
Request to v1.0/users/upn_here/photo ❌ failed with ResourceNotFound -> Resource could not be discovered.
Request to beta/users/upn_here/photo ✔ gives me information about the image (eg. size)
Request to v1.0/users/upn_here/photo/$value ❌ failed with ResourceNotFound -> Resource could not be discovered.
Request to beta/users/upn_here/photo/$value ✔ gives me the image. (I see the picture I uploaded before).
You should check the used access token, copy the token and paste it here https://jwt.ms (Microsoft owned page to show you the data in the token).
According to the docs you'll need at least the delegated User.Read scope or the application scope User.Read.All.

Facebook API App Access Token

I've been using for many years my FACEBOOK_APP_ID|FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET as an app access token for accessing the facebook API, but lately it seems to be giving me not up to date data.
For example, on this page:
https://www.facebook.com/pg/Vallagruppen/posts
If I just view in the graph explorer with the default access tokens, I get the correct results:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=Vallagruppen%2Fposts&version=v2.11
But if I change the access token in the explorer to one like above, with an APP_ID|APP_SECRET I am suddenly not getting all the posts, the newest few are not showing up.
Additionally it will say: "Access Token Info Warning Failed to debug token"
Any idea why?

How to get followers list from Twitter?

I am trying to call following Twitter's API to get a list of followers for a user.
http://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/ids.json?cursor=-1&screen_name=username
And I am getting this error message in response.
{
code = 215;
message = "Bad Authentication data";
}
I can't seem to find the documentation related to this error code. Anyone has any idea about this error?
Your request lacks authentication data. I got that error when I simply clicked on http://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/ids.json?cursor=-1&screen_name=username. This is not the way to access twitter API.
Create a Twitter app from https://apps.twitter.com/. Then, try using a Twitter API Library to access REST API. If you are comfortable with using ruby apps on command line interface check out https://github.com/sferik/t. Set it up and then try t followers [USER] for listing all followers of USER.
You will have to use OAuth. More info can be found on Twitter website. Here: https://dev.twitter.com/oauth
This error is coming because your Twitter developers account is not approved. Now-a-days you can't make app without getting your developers account approved from Twitter.
To make an app, you need to contact Twitter and apply for developers account. If you are lucky engough, you will get approval although this process may take months.
If you just need the data, go for third party services like followersanalysis[dot]com, birdsonganalytics[dot]com

FacebookLogin loginWithReadPermissions does not request any new permissions

Ive previously requested public_profile, user_friends, and email which Facebook will let you use pretty freely in my Swift iOS app but now I'm trying to update the app to request new permissions with loginWithReadPermissions but when it transfers to the login page it just says that I've already granted my app permission and doesn't request the new permissions. Querying the results shows no granted or denied permissions and looking at the Graph Explorer API on the Facebook Developer site shows the same. So I'm looking for suggestions on why my app might not be sending the updated request to the server.
I should note that I'm utilizing the AWS iOS Mobile SDK. I found another answer that overwrites the default Facebook sign in provider to add new permissions to the request but this has the same result.
Also in my output Im seeing the following string which contains all the permissions Im trying to request which makes me think that the request is going out but something else is happening
scope=email%2Cuser_birthday%2Cuser_hometown%2Cuser_friends%2Cpublic_profile%2Cuser_about_me

Undocumented error with LinkedIn oAuth API

I have a user using my application which implements a social signin using LinkedIn oAuth API.
The error returned is:
invalid_request
and the error description is:
error retrieving consumer xxxxxxxx
Where I've shown xxx appears to be a unique LinkedIn identifier for the user.
I've had no other users report this problem, have been unable to replicate it, and Google matches nothing.
Any ideas? LinkedIn do not have an error reference document, so it's quite difficult to track down what might be going wrong.
