I am making a timer job in c# which will make a call to office 365 and fetch newly created users. For example, if I run it now it should fetch users since last run till current time (Delta). However I dont see any FILTER or API parameter where I can pass date and get ONLY those users who are updated or created after specific date.
Is there any API available something like this;
https://graph.windows.net/{MYORG}/users?api-version=1.6&[Filter=createdDate
gt 12/12/2016 or modifiedDate gt 12/12/2016]
Azure AD Graph API can't do this as far as I am aware of, the User entity does not contain creation or modification dates to query on.
However, the beta endpoint of the Microsoft Graph API should be able to do this. You can follow the instructions here: https://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/docs/concepts/delta_query_users. Simply put you must:
Call the users endpoint with the delta function
If you got a skip token, it means there are more pages
Fetch the next page until you no longer get a skip token but get a delta token instead
This delta token allows you to call the endpoint anytime later to get only the modified users (created/updated/deleted)
General guidance for delta queries
I found that blog already however its under delta and throwing errors to me. Here is what I got in response of first call;
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users/delta?$skiptoken=
when I did a GET to that link, I am getting error saying the resource you are trying to request is either does not exist or has been removed or...
I feel there is a bug as its beta API.
However, good news is I just found another blog which seems to have be fixed my problem using following query;
https://graph.windows.net/XYZ.onmicrosoft.com/directoryObjects?api-version=1.6&deltaLink=
I will anyway mark your answer as accepted assuming Microsoft will fix the issue I am getting from backend.

Issue:
First API calls only returns top 3 posts.
The next_url returns no data(data array is empty and pagination string is null)
The 4th post is suspect because I am unable to get it with API calls and it is not returned in the first API call.
Details:
Using v1/users/self/media/recent endpoint
Using Javascript to loop through calls, using "next_url" for the 2nd and subsequent call.
Using Access Token
Worked fine(returned all posts) until "the 4th post" was made
Why do I think one specific post is the issue? Because I am unable to retrieve it using the API. If I set the max_id to this post id, then I get all other posts before this post.
If I leave max_id out, the first call gets all posts newer than this post.
Verified that I am not in a Sandbox.
Has anyone encountered this before? and why would one post be breaking the next_url API call? Is there something in the post causing this?
I can't give out the IG account, sorry I know that would help, but it needs to remain private.
I am a developer on a project that makes extensive use of the legacy Instagram API. It has, for a long while now, been extremely flakey. We have experienced your exact issue many times and there is no practical solution.
However, all Instagram APIs have now (finally!) been migrated to Facebook. You should use the new Instagram Basic Display API which will be properly supported going forward.
I wan't to fetch only messages that are only internal to organization.
Right now the way i see is fetch domains first then for each message see if from/sender domain belongs to that message , based on that differentiate.
But this is lengthy process and not a foolproof technique.
Is there any GRAPH API query i can use which readily provides this ?
It does not apear that the REST API queries for Office 365 includes this information directly in the messages. From the Version 2.0 And the Beta this is not included in message output.
However, it looks like you might be able to get it from the REST API via the headers.
Try the following query:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/messages?$select=internetMessageHeaders&$top=1
This takes top one messages and shows you the email header of the message.
In the header look for X-OriginatorOrg. The value should be the main domain of your organisation.
Alternatively you can look at the X-MS-Exchange-Organization-MessageDirectionalityheader. If the value here is Originating it should come from inside your own organisation.
I have a problem with querying the Facebook Graph API and reading with extended permissions. I want to query a page's latest posts with additional data for a reporting dashboard (show the number of likes, reactions and post impressions) I have an express app with passport-facebook running in order for the user to authenticate and provide the permissions in question. This setup used to work before, but now I am experiencing a strange problem.
This is what I am requesting: created_time,link,full_picture,message_tags,with_tags{link},message,reactions.summary(true),insights.metric(post_impressions)
I had my app in Facebook's review process and they granted me the read_insights permission for querying insights.metric(post_impressions). After the review I was able to pull all the data I needed from the API. That was 2 weeks ago. Today I experienced the problem that I can only pull very limited data out of the API. The response keeps giving me Permission error (OAuthException), stating "User doesn't have enough permissions to load insights", "You do not have enough permission to view the metric."
However, when I add the limit and/or the after params to the query I do get data back, but only with very low values for limit (that is <= 5, but after 2 paginated requests, no subsequent requests are allowed) or a value for after, which I don't have for an inital request.
Has there been a change to the API (couldn't find anything in the changelog)? Maybe I'm just overlooking something trivial?
Thanks!
Since nobody else (not here or anywhere else I asked for help) seemed to have experienced the issue I filed a bug at Facebook and it turned out to be an individual problem with some item(s) on my page's feed. Here's their response:
This is a particular issue with one or more specific posts from that page feed, that is causing the entire call to fail when trying to include it.
This issue might be addressed in a future version of Graph API. There are two workarounds for now: either use a page access token or if sticking with a user access token, giving it granular permissions to the pages.
I've tried option 1 and a page access token seems to fix the issue.
I was using the following api to get the latest 3 posts from public accounts to show on the website:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/media/recent/?client_id={client-id}&count=3
I had created an app to get the client-id.
However from today, this API has started throwing the following exception:
{
meta: {
error_type: "OAuthAccessTokenException",
code: 400,
error_message: "The access_token provided is invalid."
}
}
Could you please let me know as how to resolve this?
Based on the date, you probably have an older app that got hit by the API migration today, like mine. In short, Instagram decided to make developing for their platform WAY more annoying by requiring all API requests to be authenticated per user, even for data that users shares publicly. So you (like me) will likely be redesigning you app entirely.
To tell, log in to instagram.com/developer and click manage clients; then hit edit next to the set of keys your're trying to use. Up near the top, it will have a section called 'Client Status' -- if yours reads 'Sandbox Mode', fun times ahead! Hopefully you interact with less than 10 users and can stay in sandbox mode, otherwise you'll have to write an essay, film a video, and basically plead to get your permissions back (probably in a few months, when some Instagram intern finally digs his way down to you in the pile of applications). If it reads something eles, you've got another problem altogether and should thank your lucky stars.
In the meantime, I guess I'll get back to sending out dozens of emails to the maintainers of our many, many affiliated Instagram accounts to explain the issue and try to get permissions, so provided we get approved by then, all our social media displays aren't broken during a huge event Saturday. Another option might be to use the OAuth-less json response available here, but that might break terms of service.
I have a solution to this. If you are using the same code I am, which appears likely. I was pulling the last two images using this.
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/media/recent/?client_id={client-id}&count=3
What I did to get this working is the following.
Login to your Instragram account you are using as the application.
Go to the developer (API) area. https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/
Manage clients. Make sure your website URL is the same as your valid redirect URL.
Add new Sandbox User. Put in the account of the IG photos you want to reach.
Hit this URL: https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=CLIENTID&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI&response_type=token where the client ID is the same one you used in your previous app above.
You should get back and access token URL. Copy your access token.
Login as your account that you want the IG photos of. The account you added as a sandbox user and go to developer and approve the Sandbox Invites.
Change your original URL above from https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/media/recent/?client_id={client-id}&count=3 to https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN with your access token.
This is the IG API Media endpoint documentation: https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/users/
After that, it all worked for me and while you are in the sandbox, you should be able to pull the last 3 photos or at this point, figure out how to read the JSON to do so.
Has your app been approved after the June 1st Instagram platform changes?
http://developers.instagram.com/post/145262544121/instagram-platform-update-effective-june-1-2016
If you want to retrieve the user media file then try this, It's working for me
https://graph.instagram.com/me/media?fields=id,caption,media_url,media_type&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
For some reason the token is no more valid. Request it again.
Possible reasons why a token is no more valid:
changed password
verified the account
logged-in from a different country
I have real time subscription for really popular tag.
My app gets many subscription calls in second and then i am making post request to tag/media/recent, but i am getting duplicate and skipped images because it is very fast. How can i get sure that i request for image that subscription call is sent?
I tried even to set count to 1, and store last min_tag_id, but i am getting duplicates and missed images also.
my idea was to get last picture id, then on subscription call to set sleep for sometime and then call tag/media/recent with count=1 and min_tag_id and i will get picture for that subscription call, but there are still duplicates.
Why Instagram is not simply sending picture ids?
I have been having the same issue as you (working on this over the last week). My workaround, currently, is after Instagram sends a POST that an update for the hashtag has happened, I do a POST call for the most recent photos (currently setting count to 1 as you're doing but still working on getting all the newest photos).
I basically store all the latest photos returned in a database using the photos id as the primary key. If the key already exists in the db I issue an update otherwise the new photo gets inserted into the database. I then check whether an update was called or an insert was called. If an update, I simply exit the function. If an insert was called, I then issue a response to the browser with the new photo (this is very easy to do with web sockets; alternatively you can simply poll your database over a set interval to check if new photos were added).
I'm not even sure if this is a correct approach, it feels very hacky to me but Instagram's real time API is not very intuitive to work with.
