Facebook and Instagram Collection Issue
Incident Report for Pixlee
Resolved
As of 12:18PM EST Thu Mar 3, we were informed by Meta/Facebook that our Verification had passed.

We have assessed the access tokens of all users and confirmed that all previous permissions have been restored for Facebook logins pre-outage. However, if you logged at some point during the duration of the outage, you will need to re-login to retain permissions.

All Instagram and Creator accounts have been restored to full functionality.

At this time, non-mention FB/IG collections are resuming, and will automatically cover the time since collection was halted.

Unfortunately, there is no way to recover @mention IG content, or IG hashtagged content older than 1 week, during this time period.

We offer our sincere thanks to everyone who endured this process with us. We understand it was not easy.

We will continue to monitor progress, and work with the Meta team to ensure that such interruption does not reoccur.

Thank you everyone for your patience. As it's been a long weekend, Facebook offices have taken a bit longer with the verification efforts.

Identified
API calls to Facebook and Instagram have been malfunctioning since approximately 5AM EST on February 18th.

Our team investigated and identified that our API access has been limited by Facebook due to business verification updates.
Unfortunately, Facebook did not notify us in advance about any required changes.

We’ve already updated our verification, and are awaiting Facebook to process it. In the meantime, Facebook and Instagram collections are halted, and Instagram Business Accounts will be not be visible in social settings.

Once Facebook has updated its verification records, all permissions for collection and other functionality will be restored. We’re working with our Facebook contacts to ensure that this happens as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience, and we’re sorry for the trouble.
