How do I get the info (name/ID) of the user that posted a comment on a Facebook page using the Graph API?
I call the comment node like this:
https://graph.facebook.com/(Comment_ID)?access_token=(PageAccessToken)&fields=id,message,comments,from
Sample response:
{
"id": "1234567_1234567",
"message": "(A comment)",
"comments": {
"data": [
{
"created_time": "2018-11-14T13:14:10+0000",
"from": {
"name": "(Name of the page)",
"id": "1234567_1234567"
},
"message": "(A comment)",
"id": "1234567_1234567"
},
{
"created_time": "2018-11-14T13:14:57+0000",
"message": "(A comment)",
"id": "1234567_1234567"
}
],
"paging": {
"cursors": {
"before": "xxxxxxxxx",
"after": "xxxxxxxxx"
}
}
}
}
The original comment is a reply to a post on my page, posted by a user, with replies.
The first reply is from my page. The name and ID of the page appears there.
The second reply is from another user, but it does not include the 'from' field, even though I include the 'from' field in the graph API URI, which according to the documentation should return 'the person that posted the comment' (as in the first reply posted as my page).
I'm an administrator on the page, and the page is public, so really, anyone can see the user in their browser.

"anyone can see the user in their browser" - that does not automatically mean you can get it with the api. i assume user data will only be available for users who authorized your app. it would make sense, if you think about data privacy.
