Upload video to Facebook album

Question

I created an album on Facebook and have an album ID. I can upload a photo to an album using API / photos. But I can’t upload the video using something like the video API. I get an error message:

"(# 200) The user does not have permission to send to the destination address

1) Is it even a supported API call? I could not find much on the Facebook developer site. 2) Is this a problem with resolution? I have publish_stream, photo_upload, video_upload, user_photos, user_videos all requested. I don’t know if photo_upload / video_upload is even correct, but I saw examples from other sites about photo_upload, so I just suggested that there might be video_upload.

Answer 1

Yes, you can upload videos.

Make sure you send the message to the place where you have permission to do so. You can see an example with the code http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/493/

extracted below:

<?php 
$app_id = "YOUR_APP_ID";
$app_secret = "YOUR_APP_SECRET"; 
$my_url = "YOUR_POST_LOGIN_URL"; 
$video_title = "YOUR_VIDEO_TITLE";
$video_desc = "YOUR_VIDEO_DESCRIPTION";

$code = $_REQUEST["code"];

if(empty($code)) {
   $dialog_url = "http://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=" 
     . $app_id . "&redirect_uri=" . urlencode($my_url) 
     . "&scope=publish_stream";
    echo("<script>top.location.href='" . $dialog_url . "'</script>");
}

$token_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id="
    . $app_id . "&redirect_uri=" . urlencode($my_url) 
    . "&client_secret=" . $app_secret 
    . "&code=" . $code;
$access_token = file_get_contents($token_url);

$post_url = "https://graph-video.facebook.com/me/videos?"
    . "title=" . $video_title. "&description=" . $video_desc 
    . "&". $access_token;

echo '<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action=" '.$post_url.' "  
     method="POST">';
echo 'Please choose a file:';
echo '<input name="file" type="file">';
echo '<input type="submit" value="Upload" />';
echo '</form>';
?>
