Error in getUsers when user is public Facebook page #93

Closed ashgreat closed 7 years ago

I am getting this error for several pages I tried (including Trump and Clinton pages). I can get the posts and comments fine.

getUsers(users = "starbucks", token = fb_oauth)

Error in callAPI(query, token) : (#100) Tried accessing nonexisting field (first_name) on node type (Page)

Weird. That works for me. Are you using a temporary token or one created with a new app? Perhaps the issue could be that you cannot query users outside of your app? It worked for me with a temporary token:
