Task: Users must log in via Facebook OAuth and the application will be publishing a post using the current authorization and the Facebook API on users own feed.

Question: Is it possible using Facebook API to publish a post on my personal page (feed)? I have not found any endpoint which provides this functionality. And I also found that this may not be available from April 2018:

As of April 24, 2018, the publish_actions permission has been removed. Please see Breaking Changes changelog for more details. To allow users of your application to share content with Facebook, we recommend that you use our products for sharing.

  1. according to the docs you will need publish_pages permission to post as page from api v2.3 . Prior, it needed permission publish_actions in addition to manage_pages. Now they have introduced publish_pages specifically for that purpose.

  2. No. As per the Facebook policy update. the user can’t post on their profile(personal) feed via API.
