Title: Facebook API unavailable?
Post by: sloppdawop on 18 09 2015, 07:29:22

So since yesterday Miranda won't connect to facebook anymore. I guess they finally shut it down (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat)?

Nope. Plugin is behaving like web browser, it's not using any official public sucking api :-)

sloppdawop, do you use stable or development version of Miranda? I recommend switching to development. Then I guess it's this problem (http://wiki.miranda-ng.org/index.php?title=Plugin:Facebook/en#You_need_to_clean_your_computer_error).

Something like that. Apparently they suspended my account temporarily because they identified suspicious activity. They got a log in try from San Jose, CA, United States in Google Chrome they say. I'm not in the States.

Is that connected to Miranda? Google once intercepted a login try from Spain when i used Loqui IM on my phone but that was due to the software architecture.

Sorry for the false alarm. I usually don't use the facebook website (thanks to you guys! :THUMBS UP: ), so i didn't realize.

No, it's not related to Miranda - unless you used some web proxy. But even with proxy Miranda identifies itself as Miranda NG, not Google Chrome. So you better change your password I guess :)
