Post video on Facebook using JavaScript.

Santosh Rajput

Hi,

I'm trying to upload a video on facebook using REST(Facebook graph API) calls in javascript but it gives an error.

{"readyState":4,"responseText":"{\n \"error\": {\n \"message\": \"There was a problem uploading your video file. Please try again.\",\n \"type\": \"OAuthException\",\n \"code\": 390,\n \"error_subcode\": 1363030,\n \"is_transient\": true,\n \"error_user_title\": \"Video Upload Time Out\",\n \"error_user_msg\": \"Your video upload timed out before it could be completed. This is probably because of a slow network connection or because the video you're trying to upload is too large. Please try again.\",\n \"fbtrace_id\": \"CACeJW2AU3l\"\n }\n}","responseJSON":{"error":{"message":"There was a problem uploading your video file. Please try again.","type":"OAuthException","code":390,"error_subcode":1363030,"is_transient":true,"error_user_title":"Video Upload Time Out","error_user_msg":"Your video upload timed out before it could be completed. This is probably because of a slow network connection or because the video you're trying to upload is too large. Please try again.","fbtrace_id":"CACeJW2AU3l"}},"status":400,"statusText":"error"}

Thanks in advance.

Finally find the solution.

First Convert video into blob then convert into file and then facebook allow to upload video.
Convert blob data into file:
var file = new File([blob], fileName, { type: "video/mp4", lastModified: Date.now() });

Facebook graph api call

var form = new FormData();
form.append("source", file);
form.append("title", title);
form.append("description", description);
form.append("no_story", "false");
form.append("access_token", page_access_token);
var settings = {
"async": true,
"crossDomain": true,
"url": "https://graph-video.facebook.com/v2.12/{page-id}/videos",
"method": "POST",
"headers": {
"cache-control": "no-cache"
},
"processData": false,
"contentType": false,
"mimeType": "multipart/form-data",
"data": form
}
$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
OnSuccess(response);
});
