Workflow

Request: the code to send to the API

Send an API request to the following endpoint to delete a post from a Facebook page:

DELETE /update/identities/<identity_token>/facebook/page/<page_id>/post/<post_id>.json

The <identity_token> is obtained whenever one of your users connects using Facebook. The <page_id> must be part of the pages that the identity is currently configured to be an administrator of and the <post_id> must be the identifier of a post published on that page.

In order to use this endpoint the permission Manage Pages (manage_pages) must be enabled in the Facebook settings in your OneAll account and the user must have granted that permission when he logged in with Facebook.

Result: the code returned by the API

The API either returns a HTTP status code 200 if the post was deleted successfully or an appropriate message body with further details on the error that occured.
