There isn’t an option for livestream boosts on face but there is for posts. Just want to know if there is an API for this.

I would like to build a project to know users' behavior when they surf facebook website, especially the advertisements showing in their timeline wall. I have learned the basic idea of facebook graph api, knowing how to access the users' information and their feeds. However, I found that the feeds returned by facebook graph api is not "exactly" what user really see when they open facebook url in their browser. First, in graph api, it doesn't show the advertisements posted by sponsors. Second, the feeds returned by facebook api seem only regarding to my own posts(e.g. the photo tagging me, the posts tagging me). So, I would like to know how to access these information to rebuild a testbed that looks like exactly same as the real facebook website to record people reaction to it and continue my research?
Any idea is welcome ^^
This isn't really possible or rather I don't know any API (Facebook/Twitter/etc) that would do this to their third-party developers. The point of the API is to pull user data, not ads.
Also it sounds like you are using /me/posts or/me/feed instead of /me/home
I have a quick question for the Facebook Guru's here.
A couple of years back I have written a facebook app that retrieves the amount of likes assigned to a photo. At the time, I was surprised to find out that neither FQL nor the Graph API returned accurate like counts at the time.
Now, I have been asked to develop a photo contest where people can vote on a few photo's to pick a winner. This contest is supposed to run on a Facebook page, as a facebook app and I'm trying to evaluate if I can use facebook's likes as voting mechanism.
I figure since Facebook's API changes rather often, maybe they have resolved the accuracy problems by now. I tried digging around in facebook's developer documentation, but I could not find if any of the current Facebook API's return accurate like counts on user submitted photo's.
Does anyone know if FQL or Graph API are currently able to provide accurate like counts for user-submitted photos?
I can't attest to accuracy but a Photo's 'likes' connection can be queried generating alist of likes as per the documentation. See example call below.

I need in my application to build a social graph of friends for each user.
Like it is doing the facebook app "Social Graph":
App URL.
As I have seen there is no way to extract the friends of friends besides they are also using the application. So what I was thinking about is to extract the friends and for each pair of friends I can check with friends.areFriends whether they are friends and so build the social graph.
But for a user with 300 friends, I need 45.150 API calls. Which exceeds the API call limit per hour.
So is there a way to cast more queries in an API request. Or any suggestions how I can build this social graph in a better way??
best regards
I would suggest a slightly different approach to doing this. You should store what you can in your data store for quicker querying. You should implement the Real-Time API from Facebook and subscribe to each user's friend requests. This way you can keep track of friendship links to start fleshing out your social graph.
We want users to be able to post to their Facebook if they want to. We have it kind of working with the older Facebook profile but not with the new Timeline.
We want it to be like Tumblr where you can post/share to your Facebook account as much as you want.
Is there a limit of post that we can have a day per users or the via entire API in general?
We are using FB connect already of course!
The documentation for Facebook's Open Graph is probably the best place to start. Take a look at their best practices page, as well:
If your application is making too many calls, the API server might rate limit you automatically, returning an "API_EC_TOO_MANY_CALLS" error.
Is there a way to list all friendship requests using the facebook graph API? I didn't find anything in the docs, but with the experience I've undergone concerning the quality of this doc so far, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a way to it.
I think it's not possible using only Graph API. You will need to use any SDK and then make a FQL query.
