I want to delete Facebook posts that I have made after a certain number
of days. I know I can delete a specific post with curl:
curl -i -X DELETE
"https://graph.facebook.com/{post-id}?access_token={access-token}";
However, I need to do it programmatically, in order to schedule the
deletes appropriately. Following a Stackoverflow post:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57646038/
I came up with the following snippet:
access_token = '...blah...'
base_api = 'https://graph.facebook.com/'
post_id = '742194719255364_1530633492430138'
payload = {
'access_token': page_access_token,
}
response = requests.delete(base_api + post_id, params=payload)
print(response)
response is 400
Since I know the post-id is correct (saved when doing the post), I
interpret 400 as a malformed url, but I can't see what might be wrong.
Any ideas please?
