Meta Graph API /v2.5/* version retirement

RedirectedSubscribe to Meta Graph APIShare

On April 12, 2018, Meta retired Graph API v2.5. Calls made to /v2.5/* are no longer served by version 2.5 and are instead redirected to a newer version. Requests sent to these endpoints receive responses handled by the oldest version still available rather than failing outright.


Calls it hits

  • /v2.5/*

What to use instead of these calls

Call a supported version, such as v26.0, as Meta answers past this day with the oldest version still available.
