I'm trying to access data from a Facebook page. I've got the app setup and generated my access_token.

When I put the URL into my web browser (in the format https://graph.facebook.com/APP_ID/feed?access_token=MY_TOKEN) I see the json response properly. However, when I put that same url into the URL field for the import, I get:

The URL https://graph.facebook.com/APP_ID/feed?access_token=MY_TOKEN is invalid.

Anyone get this to work recently? (wondering if FB changed anything?)

This is not a parser issue. If the URL is invalid, its a problem with the fetcher.

I assume you are using the basic HTTP fetcher. So the problem lies in the function feeds_valid_url which - for some reason - does not validate your URL. This seems really odd since the very same URL works in the browser...

Maybe you could check on that regex in feeds_valid_url and try to figure why it does not match?

https://graph.facebook.com/APP_ID/feed?access_token=MY_TOKEN passes validation. I'm guessing it's something in your APP_ID or MY_TOKEN that's breaking. I understand if you don't want to share that, but we can't help much either. Could you change the letters and numbers, but leave any special characters?

I regenerated my app secret, which then regenerates a new access token. I tried that one and got the same result. Any help on how to further troubleshoot this?

I just reset my secret one more time so I can show you the URL I'm using. Here it is:

https://graph.facebook.com/mustardseed/feed?access_token=133283760145143|tGew8jbxi1ctfVlYh35CPYij1eE

(obviously this doesnt work in the browser anymore since I reset the secret again...I'm just posting it here so you can see the format that's failing)

re-opening the issue....and in case its of any interest, here's my feeds importer

$feeds_importer = new stdClass();

This should do it. I would like at least a few people to test it though.

Hmm..did you intend to leave this in the patch?

Yes, it adds this case into the test. The test fails without the change to the regex.

The patch applied to dev cleanly, but it didn't work. I hit 'import' and instead of giving me an error absolutely nothing happens. No error. No log entry. Nothing. It's almost as if it broke the submit button somehow.

Doh, scratch that...I apparently had part of the feed importer disabled. It looks like it took the url properly! Calling this reviewed and tested.
