I am getting the Error: Fatal error: Uncaught OAuthException: (#200)

when i try to invite people via an App to an event.

My Steps: 1. Getting long lived token with Permissions: create_event create_note publish_actions publish_stream rsvp_event user_events 2. Getting Userids who are friends and not already invited to the event. 3. Split into 50 Persons per Invite and send it.

Code for Inviting:

$friends = $facebook->api(array(
     'method' => 'fql.query',
     'query' => "SELECT uid,name FROM user WHERE uid IN 
(SELECT uid1 FROM friend WHERE uid2=me()) AND NOT 
(uid IN (SELECT uid FROM event_member where eid = '$eventid'))"));

foreach ($friends as $value) 
{
    if (!isset($allids))
    {
        $allids = $value['uid'];
    }
    else
    {
        $allids .= ',' . $value['uid'];
    }
    $count++;
    $invitedusers++;
    if ($count > 49) 
    {
    //$splitinvite = $facebook->api($eventid . '/invited?users=' . $allids, 'POST');
    unset($allids);
    $count = 0;
    }
}

$facebook->api($eventid . '/invited?users=' . $allids, 'POST');

I already seperated the Userids to make sure that they are setted correctly in the format Userid_1,Userid_2,Userid_3 I checked the token with the graph token debugger and all permissions are setted correctly. Anyone an idea?

One posibility is the following Code. But this works realy slow because it sends a query for each person. It takes up 30 Seconds for checking 37 people. Querying 50 people at once as shown above invites over 1000 people in 30 seconds.

I would appreacheate it if anyone can try to find a better way!!!
The best way would be filtering the FQL query (if is posible).

Slow working Code:
```
    foreach ($friends as $value) 
    {       
        try
        {
        $splitinvite = $facebook->api($eventid . '/invited?user=' . $value['uid'],'POST'); 
        $count++;
        }
        catch (Exception $e) 
        {
// Users privacy setting blocked inviting him, has blocked you or has blocked you from inviting 
        }
}
```
