Graph API call to 'page' doesn't return 'link' property was marked as a duplicate of this bug.
Previously, a request for a page object via the graph api would return facebook's permalink
Now it does not, although the documentation still indicates that it does. One example why this matters is because, in order to generate a likebox iframe, you must pass the exact href... www.facebook.com/OBJECT_ID is insufficient, and it will give an error.
So although for most cases the permalink can be generated by www.facebook.com/OBJECT_ID without issue, there are some cases where the permalink is required.

| Steps to Reproduce: | Go to https://graph.facebook.com/168254573234024 Not the lack of a "link" field -- it used to contain a link field, with the following value: "http://www.facebook.com/pages/Exploratorium-After-Dark/168254573234024" -- now it does not. Attempt to access the likebox for this object, with MY_HREF = https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F168254573234024 https://www.facebook.com/plugins/ This should fail. Note that when MY_HREF is "http://www.facebook.com/pages/Exploratorium-After-Dark/168254573234024", this succeeds. |
|---|---|
| Expected Behavior: | The social graph api should have a link field, as the documentation indicates. |
| Actual Behavior: | there is no link field, and it is impossible to access the like box iframe without the exact link |
| API/SDK: | Graph API |
| App IDs: |
