Facebook Graph API : Publishing likes through the API is no longer available

Question

Facebook Graph API

While try to post likes, I am getting below error.

{
  "error": {
    "message": "(#3) Publishing likes through the API is no longer available",
    "type": "OAuthException",
    "code": 3,
    "fbtrace_id": "C9I3NJ2I9Gt"
  }
}

http://prnt.sc/d973z5

So anyhow, I can post a likes to object/post?

Is there any other way to do same thing?

Apparently, Facebook has removed the feature. Here is the response from facebook team. :(

Hi everyone,

Thanks again for reporting this and for your patience. We made the difficult decision to restrict access to this functionality of the Graph API to better maintain the quality standards of our community.

We're sorry that we had to take this step. Thank you for helping us keep the Facebook platform a safe place for our community and developers.

Thanks,

Shireesh

Yes facebook removed this feature permanently you can only do with page access tokens and only pages can like the post of any other pages.
