Does anyone know why I am getting this error. I know this is my username in my FB URL

Based on my research, the issue is caused by that facebook: v2.0 api no longer allows lookup by username. That´s why you can´t query users by their username anymore. The only way to get access to data of a user is by authorizing that user and using the /me endpoint.
