(OAuthException - #2500) An active access token must be used to query information about the current user
asp.net-mvc-3, c#, facebook, facebook-c#-sdk
Solution
you are getting access token for the APPLICATION, not for a user. Therefore, "me" does not make sense. You should supply ID there - either your user ID, or your app ID, or any other ID your app has permissions for.
both calls worked for with your example:
dynamic me = client.Get("1000<<MY_USER_ID>>5735");
dynamic theApp = client.Get("201193246663533");
Problem
``` string accessToken = GetAccessToken(); string accessKey = accessToken.Split('=')[1]; var client = new FacebookClient(accessKey); dynamic me = client.Get("me"); ``` here is the method to get access token and it does return a valid access token ``` private static string GetAccessToken() { // Create a request using a URL that can receive a post. WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=201193246663533&client_secret=secretkeyhere"); // Set the Method property of the request to POST. request.Method = "POST"; // Create POST data and convert it to a byte array. string postData = "This is a test that posts this string to a Web server."; byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData); // Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest. request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; // Set the ContentLength property of the WebRequest. request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length; // Get the request stream. Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream(); // Write the data to the request stream. dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length); // Close the Stream object. dataStream.Close(); // Get the response. WebResponse response = request.GetResponse(); // Display the status. Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription); // Get the stream containing content returned by the server. dataStream = response.GetResponseStream(); // Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access. StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream); // Read the content. string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd(); // Display the content. Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer); // Clean up the streams. reader.Close(); dataStream.Close(); response.Close(); return responseFromServer; } ``` However, when I debug over ``` dynamic me = client.Get("me"); ``` throws this exception: (OAuthException - #2500) An active access token must be used to query information about the current user. How can i fix this?
