Is there a test URL for this?

This url

But it passes in url debugger

Indeed, our public code expects numeric post ID. If we allow pfbid...., then Facebook gives us this:

-- [22-06-23 23:42:04]:30716 Facebook oembed api - error getting oembed for https://www.facebook.com/lamlamgouda/posts/pfbid0qsQbo2vzuKgBogPe3CyaRT5FvyDze7Cpn7z6mWAW7RiZDCvpGuBhjFJY2J6kw64vl {"message":"(#100) Invalid parameter","type":"OAuthException","code":100,"fbtrace_id":"AWa2ng9Bzj0TN_h3vzGfX0r"} 

In other words, Facebook does not support such IDs either.

Now, our cloud handles that URLs by doing an internal processing redirect to
https://www.facebook.com/lamlamgouda/posts/10159814106615664

Our debugger gets the canonical URL in the <meta> section of your original URL. But unfortunately it seems your server won't find that canonical anyway because it gets treated to a login page by Facebook. Our debugging server does get proper meta, likely because of the reverse DNS lookup verification.

So it appears that you won't be able to support those new URLs at the moment. Let's hope Facebook adds the support to their Graph API soon.

The message {"message":"(#100) Invalid parameter"} response is what I get even with Facebook's own API testing tool. It's so frustrating. Thanks for the response. I think I need to find a solution with Facebook.
