I am implementing a facebook/linked-in like feed using getstream.io. Feed Structure is as below:
I have two feed groups;
1. user (flat feed)
2. timeline (flat feed)
Every user has an own user feed(user:userId) and a timeline feed(timeline:userId).
timeline:userId follows user:userId
When a user put a post to user:userId then corresponding followers get real-time updates to their timeline:userId feeds. That part is working properly.
But when a user put an reaction(i.e. like) to a post, other users(those who has same post on their timeline) not getting any real-time update about that reaction.
So how can I achieve this using getstream.io ?
This is a missing feature and it is being implemented at the moment.
Right now, while adding the reaction, you can add targetFeeds property which will create an activity on other listed feeds that references the reaction being created. It will trigger a real-time update since an activity is added on some feeds. On the client side, you can process this update and ignore the special activity if you want.

I am working on capturing Facebook page, event and group feeds with the Graph API. It's for a research project for my master studies. With these lines in the Graph API Explorer
{page-id}/feed?fields=from,message,likes,comments,attachments
I can capture the most I need. But the responses on comments and the attachments in comments (like when someone uses images in his or her comment) are still missing. How can I get them with the Graph API Explorer? It would be greet if I can get them within the whole context of the feed, not just when typing in the specific comment-id in the Graph API Explorer. Is there any way to get the needed data?
As https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.7/object/comments#read explains, it depends on the filter modifier whether you only get the top-level comments (toplevel, default), or all comments including replies (stream)
So if you modify your request as follows, you will get comments and replies on them in one go:
{page-id}/feed?fields=from,message,likes,comments.filter(stream),attachments
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But that will give you all comments on the same level in the data structure, so you won’t know which are replies – so you might want to request the parent property as well; for replies that holds the id of the parent comment. With
comments.filter(stream){parent,from,message,created_time}
you will also get the parent for comments that have one. (Once you’re asking for a specific field, you need to ask for the rest of the fields you want as well.)
I have my site working using the Facebook Comments Plugin as you can see here http://www.amanzitravel.com/namibia-wildlife-sanctuary
I am trying to use the Graph API to retrieve the comments so they are on the page in a form that is beneficial for SEO (as outlined here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments/).
Ideally I want to see not only all comments, but replies to comments. According to the API (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.0/object/comments) using filter=stream should do the trick.
However when I do that I only get the two most recent comments e.g. https://graph.facebook.com/comments/?ids=http://www.amanzitravel.com/namibia-wildlife-sanctuary&filter=stream as opposed to the default https://graph.facebook.com/comments/?ids=http://www.amanzitravel.com/namibia-wildlife-sanctuary where I get all the top level comments but none of the replies.
EDIT: Further to this, it appears to update itself some time later, but when another reply is added it goes back to displaying a subset of all the comments for a period of time. Its unfortunate because it means I can't rely on this to be accurate.
Is there anyway I can make this work properly?
I'm using the PHP SDK for adding reviews/ratings of books. Whenever someone updates the rating of a book or a review on my site, I am sending in an update request through the API for the original open graph id associated with the rating/review and it does update the rating/review values but the timestamp on the action is still set to whenever it was first submitted. I want to have the time be reflected of the last update so it shows up in their activity feed/timeline in the right place.
I've tried modifying end_time,start_time and publish_time based on the documentation here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/using-actions/
but nothing does anything to modify the timestamp of the action. Any ideas?
My recommendation would be to delete the action and create a new one altogether.
I am trying to access past event via Facebook's Graph API.
I am getting current events just right (the one I attended last month and the one in the future) with
https://graph.facebook.com/me/events?access_token=[ACCESS_TOKEN]
However, the paging components "previous" and "next" don't really work, "previous" actually points to a future event that's already been listed in "me/events". While "next" just returns an empty "data" struct.
I also tried "since" with different previous timestamps (such as "me/events?since=1304238280") and it didn't work, it will always return the events that are the same as the ones returned by "me/events". But I definitely have many more past events when I visit
https://www.facebook.com/events/past/
Am I not using the graph API correctly or what? I also noticed there are quite a few questions regarding Graph API's paging problem but there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer yet.
Any info/suggestion/reference would be greatly appreciated!
From what I've seen, it appears that about two weeks after an event ends, Facebook moves the event data out of the events table and into another one that isn't exposed via the API. The internal Facebook servers have access to this table, so you can see past events from within the Facebook webapp.
I'm assuming this is a privacy thing.
try to add the "before" query string with the ID of the first event ex:https://graph.facebook.com/me/events?&before=388551911259170.
you can refer to the following link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/pagination/
Suppose stackoverflow.com wanted to have an RSS feed per each tag. They would probably have requests like stackoverflow.com/rss?tag=aspnet to return appropriate RSS feeds. This is the easy part.
Now when the user requested stackoverflow.com/rss?tag=aspnet he would see some XML. Instead it would be better to show a page where user can choose which RSS reader he wants to subscribe with (just like feedburner.com).
My question is: is there any ready-made code (html+javascript) that I can copy-paste to create such a subscription page? Basically I want to copy feedburner.com's subscription page onto my own site.
PS - I would be happy using feedburner.com, but it would require me to create a feed for each tag manually, which is impractical.
