Error Messages ​

This change applies to all versions.

Endpoints that require manage_pages or Page Public Content Access and return an error code 10 when both permissions are missing will now return a new error message:

This endpoint requires the 'manage_pages' permission or the 'Page Public Content Access' feature. Refer to manage_pages and Page Public Content Access for details.

Page Public Content Access ​

This change applies to v5.0+

Requests made to endpoints that require the Page Public Content Access feature must be made with either an App Access Token or include the app's App Secret. If the calling app has been granted the manage_pages permission however, an app access token or app secret is not required.
