Unsupported get request. Object with ID 'vhttps:' does not exist

[thomiko]

Since mid last week I keep getting these error messages with fbRads without having changed anything in my scripts (here I anonymised the IDs):

ERROR [2021-07-18 23:17:36] Header: {"Vary":["Origin"],"Vary.1":["Accept-Encoding"],"Access-Control-Allow-Origin":["*"],"x-app-usage":["{\"call_count\":0,\"total_cputime\":0,\"total_time\":0}"],"x-fb-rlafr":["0"],"Content-Type":["application/json; charset=UTF-8"],"WWW-Authenticate":["OAuth \"Facebook Platform\" \"invalid_request\" \"Unsupported get request.

Does anyone have a clue what the problem is and how to fix it? I also tested it with the latest facebook-api-version v11.0 but it gives me the same errors.

Thanks in advance!

Please share your session info. Are you using the dev version of fbRads?

[thomiko]

ERROR [2021-07-18 23:17:36] URL: https://graph.facebook.com/vhttps://graph.facebook.com/v10.0/4458965264114082/insights?access_token=XXXXXXX&limit=25&after=MjQZD/https://graph.facebook.com/v10.0/4458965264114082/insights?access_token=XXXXXXX&limit=25&after=MjQZD

Somehow the request URL seems to be constructed very badly. Here I only replaced the access token with XXXXXXX The rest is exactly as is.

[thomiko]

Yes, it's the dev version v10.0.0 Which values do you mean by session info?

[thomiko]

v10.0.0 worked fine from end of May until mid last week.

[daroczig]

Please load the package and share the package versions, e.g.

library(fbRads)
sessioninfo::session_info()

If you cannot install sessioninfo, then a sessionInfo() will do as well.

In a couple of weeks we will update our central R installations to the latest R version but for the time being we have to stick to 3.5.2 because we have a lot of automated tasks running on it.

[daroczig]

Can you retry after devtools::instsall_github('daroczig/fbRads@v10-plus-digits')? Hopefully that solves the problem. If not, I'm pretty sure it's in fbRads:::url_parse, as using some ugly regular expressions there. Please run debugonce on that function or similar and check what might be the problem (as I won't be able to reproduce without an exact URL etc).

[thomiko]

Thanks for the fix with 'daroczig/fbRads@v10-plus-digits' ! It works fine with several scripts.

[daroczig]

Thanks for the report, merged to the main branch.
