Getting associated comments and reactions Facebook - facebook

Is it possible to get associated comment and reaction data from the Facebook API?
e.g. { reaction: "haha", comment: "this is hilarious" }
I'm looking for anonymous data for my dissertation, tying emojis to comments.

Retreiving facebook comments by API

I would like to maintain a copy of all Facebook comments on my business page for analysis purposes.
I created an app and tokens and managed to query all posts on the page by this call
https://graph.facebook.com/v11.0/{page-id}/feed?access_token={token}
And for every post I can get the full comments by this call:
https://graph.facebook.com/v11.0/{object-id}/comments?summary=1&filter=stream&order=reverse_chronological&access_token={token}
That worked great but I have two problems:
I would like to retrieve all new comments on all posts. My page has 500+ posts. It would be very wasteful to query each of the 500 pages on daily basis to get all comments because 490+ of them will probably have no new comments on an any given day.
The results from the comment API call is very basis and does not provide the user name like the below sample
{
"data": [
{
"created_time": "2021-06-10T23:52:09+0000",
"message": "test 3",
"id": "xxxx_xxxx"
},
Is there a way to retrieve all comments regardless of the page and provide more info in the result? There are commercial tools that perform similar functionality like Sudota so theoritcally it should be possible but I could not find that in the API documentation.

How facebook auto detect the post and comment id?

I was playing with facebook graph api, where I wanted to get the posts by me and it's related comments.
I get all posts of using me/posts/ and the id of each post is appended with the user-id i.e if my user-id is 1234 then the list of post would be like (JSON):
{
id:1234_50
}
{
id:1234_51
}
{
id:1234_53
}
And now if I copy the post-id and paste it to facebook.com/1234_53 then it redirects me to that post. Ok that's fine, facebook identifies that the left part of _ is user-id and right is post-id.
But when I dive some more deeper and query the api for the comments of posts using <post-id>/comments, it returns me the metadata for comments. Again each comment has a unique id. Suppose post 53 has a comment having id= 777. So the JSON returned for that is id:53_777. Now when I append this to facebook.com/53_777, this time api identify the left part of _ as the post id and the right part as the comment id.
I am curious to know how api working differently in above scenarios?
NOTE: I am thinking all this in an RDBMS perspective where user, posts and comments must be having separate tables
you can use :
me/posts/?fields=comments{id}

How to get data of post on facebook like comments, picture by graph api

I using graph api to post picture to wall of user, after get postid i try to get post data by graph api follow this url:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/postid?access_token=my_access_token
But result return only has message, created_time, id
{
"created_time": "2015-09-10T01:52:18+0000",
"message": "test",
"story": "Minh D\u01b0\u01a1ng added 2 new photos to the album: test_demo_app Photos.",
"id": "507382632760376_508325799332726"
}
So, how to get other data of post such as comments, picture in story, likes ?
Please have a look at the docs first. Since v2.4 you have to specify each field you want to be returned from the Graph API. See
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_4
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api/v2.4#fields
Declarative Fields
To try to improve performance on mobile networks, Nodes and Edges in v2.4 requires that you explicitly request the field(s) you need for your GET requests. For example, GET /v2.4/me/feed no longer includes likes and comments by default, but GET /v2.4/me/feed?fields=comments,likes will return the data. For more details see the docs on how to request specific fields.

How to comment on embedded facebook post on a website without leaving it

I recently made a fanpage and i have used embedded code from one of the post of my fanpage to my website.
So now It shows the post on my website and number of likes but i would like to show current existing comments which that particular post had got. Right now it is just displays the comment button and if i will click that then it will take me to the fanpage just for the sake of comment.
So heres what i need
1 - Comment on the embedded post without leaving the website to facebook.
2 - Displaying all the current existed comments ..
the image right now look like this
Thats very simple. First, you need to login user and ask for publish_stream permission. After the user is logged in, you just to display a button that triggers the function named comment, passing the ID (corresponding to the object user is going to comment to) .
You will also need an input field for inserting the comment (of course), and using jquery .value we will get the value of the input field .
PS: Specify NAME and ID on the message input field. I dont remember wich one is, put both of them .
After getting the variables, we will call FB.api, specifing the variables id and comentario than get the response for handling the result (if you want), you can try to reload the comment plugin, or refreshing the page .
function comment(id) {
var id = id;
var comentario = document.getElementById("message").value;
FB.api("/"+id+"/comments","POST",
{
"message": comentario
},
function (response) {
if (response && !response.error) {
alert('Comentado !');
} else {
alert('Erro !');
}
});
$("#atividade").html('COMENTADO');
}
That is very simple and fun, but you will need to get authorization from facebook platform to ask users for publish_stream permissions before production .
I think David's answer will just post a new comment, not show all post's comments.
Unfortunately there is not a option to show the comments on embed posts.
You need to get the post id, call a api to load all comments and so embed each one of them. Yeah, that's terrible...
Open the graph api explorer:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
Type {post-id}/comments on GET input and send it to see a response example.
And that's how you embed comments:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/embedded-comments
I don't think loading all comments from all posts will have a good performance. I suggest you to create a button "see comments" which call the api. After that you can create the input text for new comments, like David said.

Commenting on Facebook Page Ratings (Reviews) via Graph API

Long time lurker first time poster...
We are working with Facebooks API's to integrate into our web application and we are able to pull a Companies Page Rating via the {open_graph_story} parameter in the {page-id}/ratings section, however we cannot find a way to comment/reply to the rating. The documentation states:
"If a person has rated your page and a story has been generated, you can follow up with the person by posting to the story's comment node." (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.0/page/ratings)
however when we pull the variables we retrieve no ID to reference for a comment. This is what we receive back from our authenticated account:
"data": [
{ "created_time": "2014-07-16T05:52:50+0000", "reviewer": { "id": "100000237096397", "name": "Romey Salazar" }, "rating": 5, "review_text": "Great job guys!!!!" } ],
Does anyone know how to retrieve the id for the rating itself so we can append a comment via API? Or some other way to reply/comment to a FB Page Rating?
Thanks!
When you have some ratings/review comments on your page and if you want to post comment to individual review comments as the Page Owner, you can follow the steps below.
1) Below request returns the json object of rating and reviews.
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/{YOUR_PAGE_ID}/ratings?field=open_graph_story&access_token={YOUR_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN}
The response json will contain ID field for each and every rating/review comments.
2) Using the ID, trigger the below request to post a comment on the rating as the Page Owner. You will need Page access token with manage_pages and publish_pages privilege.
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/{ID_OF_THE_RATING}/comments?message=Thanks for your rating&access_token={YOUR_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN}
These requests can be tested using Facebook Graph API Explorer
You need to request the open_graph_story field with the ratings endpoint. This will return the open_graph_story data which includes an id. You can then post to the comments endpoint of this story.
You have to make http get request on
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/{PageID}/ratings?fields=open_graph_story&access_token={PageAccessToken}
to get detailed response.
Make sure the parameter is "fields" not "field"
