Dear AngeClub members,
About a month ago , I have shared with you the solution for the Reach Limit issue that we start facing on facebook developer (images not changing). The thing is that we are now restricted to the following limits imposed by facebook :
Well the solution that I have shared with you here https://a2s.in/angeclub-discussion/4568-solution-app-reach-limits.html , is the best solution so far to be able to scrape the images depending on your own pages and apps.
But many of you found it hard to follow even that I have tried my best to make it easy to understand. Some start getting problems when trying to link the page with the app to get the access token. And the others who succeed to use the solution start facing another problem that images are not changing faster (scraping images every 21 seconds). And even that I have said this on the guide:
Some of you were lazy to create multiple commands , and some didn't know how to run multiple commands for the same website.
For all this , I start to search for another solution for you guys, even that my websites are working well with the previous solution https://a2s.in/angeclub-discussion/4568-solution-app-reach-limits.html , but I spent my time to find a better alternative for you.
This solution is really simple and you can easily apply it , but it's not working for all websites. That's why I recommend using the previous solution https://a2s.in/angeclub-discussion/4568-solution-app-reach-limits.html if this one didn't work for you.
Well if you read the Rate Limiting on the Graph API by facebook , it said the following
which means if an app has many users we can do more calls per hour. So I started searching for apps with large number of users. And I have successfully found some apps that we can use instead of creating ours , this will help us to avoid the reach limits (since it's not our app) and also have more calls per hour (scraping images faster) since the app has many users.
In this guide , we will be using Spotify app
Just open your facebook account using FIREFOX (it has to be firefox)
then go to the following link https://goo.gl/KUYx74
then try to copy the link fast on the Success page
before redirecting to SECURITY WARNING page
your URL should look like this
Then simply copy your access token , which is between access_token= and &expires
This access token will be working for 3 months , then you need to generate another access token.
So now that we have our access token , just use the command and change ACCESSTOKENHERE with the new app access token we have just created.
As you can see we can run the command with do sleep 3, which means the scraping will be every 3 seconds which also means images will be changing faster.
I'm sure this is the easiest way to generate access token for our command.
You can also use HTC app to get access token instead of Spotify by using this link http://bit.ly/htctokens , just follow the same steps until you get your access token (don't forget to use Firefox).
I hope you like this new guide,

About a month ago , I have shared with you the solution for the Reach Limit issue that we start facing on facebook developer (images not changing). The thing is that we are now restricted to the following limits imposed by facebook :
The total number of calls your app can make per hour is 200 times the number of users.You can read more about the limits here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/advanced/rate-limiting

And the others who succeed to use the solution start facing another problem that images are not changing faster (scraping images every 21 seconds). And even that I have said this on the guide:
If you want to scrape the images faster , you can run multiple command for the same website.(for example: create 3 pages and 3 apps for the same website to get 3 access tokens to be able to create 3 commands)
Some of you were lazy to create multiple commands , and some didn't know how to run multiple commands for the same website.

Well if you read the Rate Limiting on the Graph API by facebook , it said the following
This isn't a per-user limit; any individual user can make more than 200 calls per hour, as long as the total for all users does not exceed the app maximum. For example, if your app has 100 users, the app can make 20,000 calls per hour. But your top ten most engaged users could make 19,000 of those calls.
which means if an app has many users we can do more calls per hour. So I started searching for apps with large number of users. And I have successfully found some apps that we can use instead of creating ours , this will help us to avoid the reach limits (since it's not our app) and also have more calls per hour (scraping images faster) since the app has many users.

your URL should look like this
https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html#access_token=EAAAAKLSfdfdRaP9BvGPVjARQ2Wwntjeb1EmCOOyAgLLrBuktgcVboboZBmpHFDGEZZEe6JWAQgyKovVtnkQKlhTHW0JQn1FDGFDGVAJId0WBWuZA0HAGIC3udxQLdsfdsfUYyWyUPaZfdgfdgfdtxdK&expires_in=7775998
Then simply copy your access token , which is between access_token= and &expires
This access token will be working for 3 months , then you need to generate another access token.
So now that we have our access token , just use the command and change ACCESSTOKENHERE with the new app access token we have just created.
while true; do sleep 3; curl -F id="http://YOURDOMAIN" -F scrape=true -F access_token='ACCESSTOKENHERE' https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/; done &
As you can see we can run the command with do sleep 3, which means the scraping will be every 3 seconds which also means images will be changing faster.
I'm sure this is the easiest way to generate access token for our command.
