Permission migration from publish_stream to publish_action

Question

I am wondering if you have a users permission to publish_stream and you want to publish_action from now on does publish_stream cover both or do we need to re-request the use

Answer 1

You must request publish_stream as a new permission because the prompt is much different. It is more around "Add to timeline" and a straight up permission.

To know if you have the permission, you can do many things. The easiest is to try and publish and see if it succeeds. but that will skew your metrics in insights. Better is to use the access token info endpoint and check the scopes you have there.
