What changed ​

Requests that include the legacy date_format parameter return an error on Graph API v26.0+ since 2026-07-29 and on all supported versions from 2026-10-27. The same change makes pretty and debug ignored and removes ETag/304 Not Modified behaviour.

What to do ​

Remove date_format from every Graph API request and parse the default ISO 8601 timestamps in your own code. While you are there, drop any reliance on If-None-Match/304 caching and on pretty or debug output.
