Error connecting to Facebook API.

Hi, I have followed every official tutorial out there. I get this error both in Excel and PowerBI. 

 

I choose my page, and content. I log into facebook and accept Microsoft PowerBI app to get my FB data, then this appears.

 

Please if you have a fix it would really help.

 

Thank you.

Hi @elionhoxha,

I connect to Facebook from Power BI Desktop following the instructions in  this tutorial and everything works well.

Based on my research, the above warning is related to security setting of your Facebook account,  I would recommend you click Facebook Help Center in the above warning to check more information and post the question in Facebook community to get dedicated support.

Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

I did that and it only returns 5 columns: message, created_time, id, object_link and story.

 

Is there any way to fix that or is it a issue with the Facebook API?

I've got the same error, and I don't know how to fix it.
