I need to upload images and other content to Facebook from a Node.js backend. My API only make requests using the Graph API endpoints, and I don't want to use unofficial Node.js SDKs.
I can send files from my front end and retrieve them using multer. However I don't want to save them to a directory, but send them directly to a Graph API endpoint like https://graph.facebook.com/<page-id>/photos?access_token=<token-id>
What should I do to achieve that?
Edit:
Here's what I have for the moment. Multer save the file as binary data in an uploads
directory
router.post('/profile/:idProfile/post', upload.any(), (req, res) => {
const path = req.params.idProfile + '/photos';
console.log(req.files[0]);
// A facebook superset module created for my app
facebook.post(path, req.files[0])
.then((res2) => {
if (res2.error) {
res.send(res2)
} else {
res.send({
code: 200,
data: req.files[0]
});
}
});
});
I have the following errors:
{
"code": 400,
"error": {
"message": "(#324) Requires upload file",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 324,
"fbtrace_id": "E5FGvbwN2Gs"
}
}
