Is Facebook Embedded Post only allowed for profiles that allow Public Followers?

I made a simple application to test the ability to embed publications on external Facebook sites. In it, you paste a URL from any Facebook post, click a button, and the post is inserted into a div .

I separated some links and started the test battery. Of course, I've taken care to separate only public posts. The big surprise was that a lot of these links, even though they were public, generated a warning that the content was removed or disrespects the privacy laws.

The biggest surprise was when I pasted a link from a post from my own profile and the same message was generated. I searched the profile settings and saw that everything was completely free for all audiences, however, I had not set the Who can follow me option to Everyone Friends ). When I changed this setting, the application worked with all my links.

The problem is that this option, by default, is only for friends , which greatly limits the possibilities of embedding the posts.

Interestingly, in the facebook documentation, the information on what the requirements for a post can be embedded in another page are:

  • Must be a public post
  • Must be from someone you are following
  • All your friends are automatically followed

    • Is there any special configuration to resolve this issue?

    If your question is a setting in the code to be put on external site to force content to load, it does not exist. Otherwise there would be no reason for something that people would ever by default. This type of permission level has to be set on Facebook itself.

    What you can do is go in every post and change to public. Something I'm pretty sure it also has is a specific setting that changes which default permission for each new post, and in that you could change to 'public', so you just do not have to change the default next time.

    Note: Profiles for people under 18 do not automatically allow posts defined as public. This other problem can affect some people, so it's good to know that it exists.

    Since what you want is different from Facebook's privacy policy, and the current way can not be done, I recommend that you give feedback about the tool on the appropriate link at link . Choose your product and write in detail why this would be best.
