I'm trying to get ALL comments (and the replies to those comments) from a Facebook page and an specific date range on API Graph.
Not just the comments from me/posts or me/feed, but all the comments my Fanpage gets, including those from Events, Products, Photos (because if you post a collection of photos the me/posts edge just include the main posts, not every single photo attached in the post), Videos, Live Videos, Offers, and, if its possible, Dark Posts (from Facebook Ads).
Is there a way to make this? I tried using me/notifications edge but most of the notifications group several comments together in a single object (E.g. "Bob, John and Mary commented on the link you shared.").
By the way, there is actually and app that makes this, called "Feed Comments" (id=9675640871), actually the responsible to send the notifications when your fanpage gets a comment.
But I don't know how it makes it.
Thanks!

I have an idea to create a "top posts" feature to my website, which creates the "top" list depending on how many likes and shares that a post have on facebook.
Users may see how many likes an post has received so far since they only have to ask for a single, defined url. However, the website itself has to be able to query all the links that are tied to itself (which have a predefined url template like website.com/[post-id]) to create the "top" list. Is it possible to do something similar (or achieve the same result in a different way)?
Any ideas on a real workflow about something like this will be appreciated!
this seems like a little but interesting project. I don't know if there is a feature that could get that directly in the way you want, but i did something similar.
First you have the Graph API, with that you can get the Posts of a user using feed, with that every post is telling you how many likes does it have which you can get with POST_ID/likes.
Then you'll have to check for changes in the post periodically comparing its created_time and updated_time.
This could seem very hard, because you have a lot of posts and you have to check them all for updates, but you can use batch_requests so you can check them all at once.
I have made a bookmarklet which shows top posts in the Facebook News Feed as well as Google+, Twitter and Instagram Profiles.
Just add a new bookmark in your bookmarks bar and replace its URL with the following code and save it, then go to the social network website and run it:
javascript:(function(){var s=document.createElement('script');s.src='https://niutech.github.io/topnewsfeed/topnewsfeed.min.js';document.body.appendChild(s);})()
The source code is available on GitHub.
Here's the problem I'm having -- I want to pull the latest 20 wall posts from a company's Facebook page using Graph API, but only those posts that were authored by that company. For instance, if I were pulling from the Grey Poupon Facebook page, I don't want any of the wall posts that their fans put up, just the ones that Grey Poupon put up.
From my vantage point, there's no way to do this, other than by pulling way too many, then cycling through each result and checking the "from" data to make sure it matches the page name till that limit hits 20. But that's awfully inefficient and still doesn't guarantee a result set of 20. Am I missing something, or is that my only option?
What exactly are you requesting from the API – /pageid/feed, or /pageid/posts …?
The latter should only contain the page’s own posts.
Also, you could use the FQL stream table to filter by actor_id.
I am trying to achieve similar functionality to the one shown here...http://blackmilkclothing.com/collections/leggings/products/circuit-board-grey-leggings
there fan page https://www.facebook.com/blackmilkclothing allows people to hash tag a photo and then populate it on their website like the link above.
Loading a series of tagged images from my facebook fan page to my website. I am not positive how this is acheived? I am assuming some kind of api process but any help in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks! All help is appreciated
See the 'tagged' connection of a Page in the Graph API: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/
It returns a list of objects the page is tagged in, including photos
If you need background knowledge I suggest these links in particular:
Graph API overview: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/
Page login: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/pages/
After a good bit of trial and error I've found the most efficient way to query photos tagged to a particular Facebook page is to use Facebook's FQL interface to retrieve a list of stream posts.
With FQL you can limit the queried objects to only those posts containing images (unlike with the higher-level Graph API calls which will return all posts, many of which may not have associated photos), and you'll also have more granular control over composition of the result set.
Keep in mind that Facebook doesn't have true hashtag support (only Facebook pages can be tagged), so to simulate the hashtag support that Black Milk Clothing encourages, you'll need to parse and filter the photo message text yourself.
As an alternative quick and easy solution, I've rolled the results of my efforts into a free online service called TagTray -- with TagTray I've added an interface for building and curating hashtag based galleries from Facebook, Instagram, and TwitPic (including application-level Facebook hashtag filtering) that can be framelessly embedded into a site with a few lines of JavaScript.
I'm having this strange problem: I have a link for a picture and i want to display it on my wall. Now i want to know how many times it was liked, shared and commented on. Let's say my picture url is http://mywebsite.com/mypicture.jpg?468
Now, I share this picture on my wall, I get likes, shares and comments.
If i'm using the http://api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=links.getStats&urls=... i can see the shares, but not the likes or comments number.
Why is that? Do you think it's because of the ?468 after the .jpg? If so, why is that happing and only the shares are counted, and not the likes or comments?
For starters, you should be using the Graph API. The restserver.php file you are pointing at is deprecated at this point.
You will want to use the send (or like) plugin from Facebook. The REST API is deprecated (no longer supported and will be pulled completely from Facebook at anytime).
Then your url being shared will get a id from facebook and the stats tracked. Here's some examples: http://graph.facebook.com/?ids=CocaCola or http://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://www.coca-cola.com
I'm pretty sure the default title "Publish this story to your friend's Facebook Wall?" is incorrect. When the user publishes the story, it will appear on his and his friends' news feeds, but not on the walls of the user's friends. I'd like to customize the title so that it doesn't contain a lie. Is there a way for me to do that?
There is no provided way to do that. It's possible you could modify the DOM after the showFeedDialog prompt has been created, but you'd have to create your own JS to do that, and it might not be possible within the confines of FBJS.
I'm not sure where you see the problem with the title here however, unless it's a semantic interpretation. The News Feed is a subset of the data that appears on the Wall of a user. When a user confirms a feed dialog that is targeted at a friend, it will create a story on the Wall of the user as well as the Wall of the user's friend (and by extension be part of the respective news feeds as well), hence "publishing the story to your friend's wall".
Wall items do not show up on all your friend's walls... they are your wall items. If a story is part of a news feed, as showFeedDialog facilitates, then the story will be picked up and put into all your friends news feeds... but it is never saved to your friends walls.
