We're in the middle of a project and just saw multiple FB accounts all lose access today. Is this happening to others? Any idea how long it takes to get re-approved? Any chance that a fellow HNer can help us get our request expedited?
We're just looking to retrieve comments for some NLP work and we're only dealing with public data. We expected some difficulty with all the Cambridge Analytica stuff but losing access wholesale really stings.
We were retrieving posts and comments from specific pages. We're working with a marketing agency and were going through a benign data collection process of one of their clients.
There is no easy way to get access re-enabled right now. If you have a direct relationship with FB, now is the time to reach out and let them know what you need.
We've been following the changes and no where have I seen mention of access to Graph Page APIs being closed off wholesale.
We expected to lose access to things, but didn't anticipate losing access to public comments. We're trying to understand if this was a policy change, if we got swept up into some other clearance process, etc.
