I am trying to implement, through api facebook, adding a review for a company page. Similar functionality is implemented on the popular service https://business.trustpilot.com/
It is written in api facebook that this is impossible to implement, maybe I’m not looking at the endpoint, please tell me, maybe someone has encountered a similar task?
I look at the documentation on the link https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v3.2/page/ratings

I need to initiate searches on facebook marketplace from my application on the user's device. This needs to happen on the user's device, and as the facebook user associated with the user using the application, to avoid getting blocked by facebook. As far as I can understand, this cannot be achieved using facebook's OAuth login and accessing the facebook information that is accessible through it.
Another hypothetical way that comes to mind, is to use the token that the user uses to login into facebook itself, though this one sounds frankly illegal.
tl;dr is there a way to run a search and retrieve the results on facebook marketplace as a user on a user's device?
I found your question on SO, and spent a good bit of time researching this, as I wanted to know the answer myself. Unfortunately, as best as I can tell, this is not possible through any official APIs. It seems like they may have once had something like this, as I found several links to FB API documentation that looked promising. But, the links all rerouted back to the Graph API homepage. I found a couple of references to the big data breaches FB has suffered in the last couple of years as possible reasons why their APIs were retooled and locked down.
I found several Facebook developer posts with questions about a Marketplace API where there were either no answers after months or years, or an official Facebook moderator posting a response like "This is a great idea, we always want to improve, use this form to submit your idea" and so on with no follow up.
I also found at least one SO post within the last 18 months where someone in the comments claimed to be able to post products to FB, but I think this was related to the Business Page Product Catalog, and is not what you're looking for. This is more like if a car dealership or something wants to post a new car for sale that's tied to their FB business page.
The Graph API allows for some decent searching and edge traversal but it is all related to posts, pictures, feeds, etc., and nothing related to the marketplace. Facebook pushes their Marketing APIs so heavily that it was tough to filter through that noise. And, of course, all of marketing apis are geared toward creating ads.
I found some Facebook information around API URLs looking like https://graph.facebook.com/search=terms&type=some_type that was very promising. But the type options seem to be limited to adcountry, adeducationschool, adeducationmajor, adlocale, adworkemployer, adkeyword, adzipcode, adgeolocation, and audienceinterest. And, as I dug deeper, it appears this is related to finding targeting groups for creating targeted posts. Nothing for marketplace.
I think that the answer, unfortunately, is that there are no offical FB APIs at this time that will allow querying search results from the Facebook Marketplace, much less provide enough information to reproduce a listing to display on a 3rd party app.
I wonder if it is possible to use a new Instagram Graph API only for hobby purpose(small java application). The main aim is to process only user's data that is currently log in on instagram(not other's user data). Generally I'm a beginner on this field and I try to determine my chances for writing this kind of application, because I've read that sometimes it is hard to get permission to API from facebook, so maybe somebody know how it works in practice?
From what I can tell on the docs site, the Graph API is only used if you're making something for Business Accounts. The docs say that if making something for non-business users, to use the old API.
Reference here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api
I personaly suggest you to use new graph API, because older API support may be disabled in future and might be deprecated in future.
Moreover, Facebook does not give permission easily but you give proper & exact content if allows you and provide great support.
Does anyone know if it is possible to post job offers through the FB API? I am asking in context of this article https://facebook.com/business/news/take-the-work-out-of-hiring
I searched for something in the FB documentation, but couldn't find anything.
I have been exploring the same thing, and minus an official FB statement that they do not support this through Graph API or otherwise, I'd safely say that it is not currently possible/supported.
It looks like Facebook is rolling this out now. It might not be available to you just yet (I can't use it in the UK).

I am managing an organisation's page on Facebook and want to like all posts made by the page from my personal account.(Let us say the posts from now on and not from the time the page was created) I have no idea how to proceed as I haven't explored facebook's developers tool. Can someone help a bit?
Well, its a very broad question. I dont know what language are you using and are you aware of graph api or not. So first of all go through the basics-
Using the Graph API
Access token - all API calls must be signed with an access token
Login - very important part i nfacebook integration, yet I think its not relevant to this question
Graph API Explorer- a tool provided by facebook to test the API calls. (first register on the developers site if you have not yet)
Now coming to the solution to the question-
First of all you'll be needing the post IDs of the page. To query for all the posts-
\GET https://graph.facebook.com/<Page-ID>/posts?fields=id
Example to fetch all the public posts by "Aam Aadmi Party".
Then, for each of that post id, you have to make a POST call to /likes, this will return true on success and the post will be liked.
\POST https://graph.facebook.com/<Post-ID>/likes
Example to like a post from the "Aam Aadmi Party" page.
Hope it helps. Good luck!
Facebook has officially launched its Facebook Questions. Does anyone know if it's possible to add one of the new Facebook "Question" polls through the Graph API? If so, how?
Thank you very much
They just announced this is available on their blog. To get them, issue an HTTP GET request to the USER_ID/questions endpoint with the user_questions or friends_questions permissions.
Update: they also just announced that you can create questions now via the API.
I've searched the http://developer.facebook.com page for poll related search terms and also online. This yielded no notable results.
It's probably worth making a poll with an external website, most I'm sure are compatible with the Open Graph but will not provide the Facebook interface that you expect on Facebook itself.
This has been deprecated as of Grpah 1.0 - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.0/question
