GET Facebook Page Post Video Source is not working

I am using Facebook Graph API, to get Page post.

https://graph.facebook.com/v2.7/357708837646769/posts?access_token=TOKEN&limit=25&fields=id,name,type,link,description,message,picture,source,from,created_time,object_id,shares,likes.limit(1).summary(true),full_picture

This API works fine. and returns value. However when I get a post type video, I try to fetch to Video Source using below API:

https://graph.facebook.com/v2.7/716404295377384/?access_token=TOKEN&fields=source https://graph.facebook.com/v3.1/716404295377384/?access_token=TOKEN&fields=source

Here is the Page post doc on Facebook

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v3.1/post

If we check the fields, for source it says:

Name: source

Description: A URL to any Flash movie or video file attached to the post.

Type: string

However, the API is not returning any value for "source" field. Tried with both 2.7 & 3.1 Graph API version. Also Facebook has not mentioned anywhere, that the "source" field is deprecated or won't be available in API.

Any help?

Also Facebook has not mentioned anywhere, that the "source" field is deprecated or won't be available in API.

They mention the following change in the changelog for v2.12, https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog/version2.12#gapi-90-videos

Page-owned videos — The source field will no longer be returned for Page-owned videos unless the User making the request has a role on the owning Page.

So, are you using the right kind of access token …?
