I'm hitting a login wall; is there a way to access the content for people who don't have a Facebook account?

Alternatively, is there another page that tracks the status of the issue? I found Platform Status [1]; or perhaps "JS SDK and Social Plugins Failure" [2] is more accurate.

For the record, at the moment the submission points to a discussion on Facebook Developers forum [3].

The link the op used is to specific issue complaint thread. At the present time 3:37 EST the only communication from an official facebook responder is:

Hi John,

Thanks for reaching out. We are aware of this issue and are currently working on fixing it. I'll update this thread when I have more information from the team.

Thank you for your patience.

Regards, Fatma

The rest is a bunch of people complaining of the same issue.

after having been involved in multiple products that relied on facebook, i would not be surprised if this was just their way to let developers know they discontinued the sdk. But don't worry they write a blog post when they bring out the successor in a few months.

If it has been down that long and that's the only official response, then things must be pretty bad. Either the situation, or FB's communication skills. Neither is good for FB's users, er, products.

By my count from the status page[0], the FB JS SDK has had issues for 30 of the past 90 days. That's not even one 9. [0] https://developers.facebook.com/status/dashboard/

Most of the issues on that dashboard don't seem related to the JS SDK, e.g. "Increased latency on marketing insights API" and "Instagram comments webhooks event delivery traffic drop". It's a blended view of every(?) Facebook developer product but you'd usually calculate 9's for each individual product.

Mods please update link to https://developers.facebook.com/status/dashboard/ whatever OP linked is loginwall'd

Changed from https://developers.facebook.com/support/bugs/484663959337678.... Thanks!

Edit: I guess maybe https://developers.facebook.com/status/issues/49265292218744... is more precise so we'll change to that instead.
