I just wanted to automate Facebook posts for specific events on my corporate Facebook page. It seems that this should be clear from what I have read so far, however I ran into an obstacle.
The code sample that I have and the error is as follows:
user = FbGraph::User.me(access_token)
user = FbGraph::User.fetch('PageName')
FbGraph.debug!
user.feed!(
:message => 'Updating via FbGraph',
:link => 'https://domain.tld',
:name => 'PageName',
:description => 'This is a test post to be deleted'
)
This returns the following error:

On developers.Facebook.com/apps β Settings β Auth Dialog I set Extended Permissionsto enable publish_streamand status_update.
I found that accessing curlwith the same token really works as follows:
curl -F 'access_token=MY_BIG_OLE_LONG_TOKEN' -F 'message=testing message' https://graph.facebook.com/MyPage/feed
Am I skipping setting any permission or not correctly calling api with fb_graphruby gem ?
