I don't think it's something that has to do with that kind of restrictions. 
I can get the response just fine using my local machine or any other 
machine.

If the graph api is the culprit then it's because it's limiting the access 
to GAE perhaps, but that would not explain why it works for most pages and 
not for others.

 I cannot share the access token, but the url I am trying to reach is "

 but with curl and also on my local instance, I get a proper response 
 and a JSON document.

 anybody has any advice on this? I received an email yesterday from 
 google, stating that url_fetch has some inconsistend behaviour and I 
 believe I stumbled in it. They say to contact their support in this case 
 but where can I reach them?

[Kaan Soral]

As a very sincere suggestion, try not to build anything for fb at all, if 
you can (and for instagram/twitter for that matter)

It's basically a trap for developers, you waste your resources (i), there 
is no positive outcome at all, even if you manage to get a positive 
outcome, it will be terminated with various excuses and sometimes no 
excuses at all

More on topic, unexplainable fb api failures are pretty common, I just 
ignore them at this point, try not to lose time on it, if it's not mission 
critical, in some months, it may even fix itself, even if you report it to 
fb and it gets accepted as a bug, don't expect a swift solution (because 
(i))

The only valid fb api usage at this point is b2b apps, where the 
end-business is the ones that are trapped, like page owners etc., you might 
profit from selling apps to them while their waste their times with their 
fb pages, even in this case, if you are not at the point of no return, 
return and do something useful :)

[google-appengine] Re: urlfetch.fetch reporting inconsistent results?

[Diego Marchi]

Hello Luciano,

thanks for your answer. As you suggested I've upgraded my local 
dev_appserver version to 1.9.34.

*GraphMethodException* is related to a search that cannot be served by the 
Graph API since there is no handler for it. I don't think this is the case 
since, as mentioned, I can access the same url I query from the GAE 
instance, using CURL and in that case I obtain a valid result and not an 
exception. 
It works also on my local instance, when I use the interactive console and 
use urlfetch.fetch. It also works when I fetch the sm API url from inside 
my program on my local machine.

Summarizing:
- from terminal: 
curl 
"https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/184277601936688?access_token=xxx"; 
*WORKS*

- from local instance:
from google.appengine.api import urlfetch


u = urlfetch.fetch(
"https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/184277601936688?access_token=xxx";)
print u.content
*WORKS*

*- *from local instance program runs and visits API endpoint: *WORKS*

- from GAE remote instance
from google.appengine.api import urlfetch

u = urlfetch.fetch(
"https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/184277601936688?access_token=x";)

print u.content
*DOES NOT WORK*

*- *from remote instance program runs and visits API endpoint: *DOES NOT 
WORK* 

At the present time, I cannot find the problem. I thought it could be that 
facebook just cut off requests coming from GAE or certain ips... but it 
does NOT happen for all the facebook ids I try to query, only for some of 
them.

['Luciano Pacheco' via Google App Engine]

Hello Diego,

I'm Luciano from Google Cloud Support.

The issue mentioned on the email you that received yesterday has been 
fixed. So the error you're experiencing is unrelated.

I searched online for "facebook graphapi GraphMethodException" and it seems 
related to some permissions on the Facebook app or entity being updated, 
see this stackoverflow question 

 for 
example.

I also suggest you to upgrade your local environment from 1.9.20 to our 
latest version 1.9.34 .

Cheers,

Luciano Pacheco
