I want to programmatically comment to a specific post of mine in a private facebook group. Seem like I can't no longer do that in the version after 2.3 (sadly the 2.3 is going to be removed soon). Am I correct? Can I implement this function with the latest API? If not, should I try to implement it without the Graph API 9 (try to decipher the Post request, which doesn't seem like an easy task).

I'm trying to create or delete reactions (LIKE, LOVE, HAHA, WOW, SAD, AGRY) with the Facebook Graph API v2.8. But there seems to be no way to do it (documentation link):
Creating
You can't perform this operation on this endpoint.
Deleting
You can't perform this operation on this endpoint.
Is there really no way to do it? Does anyone know if it's planned for a new version of the API like v2.9?
As you can read in the API docs, there is no way to POST reactions as of now. If it will be available in future API versions is unclear, only Facebook knows that.
We have developed a Social Media Marketing tool, which we had to update to Graph API v2.0 now.
Unfortunately, the v2.0 and higher include some changes, which have a terrible effect on our software.
As far as I understand, it's no longer possible to search for public posts. Also you may no longer request your own friends, as well as their public timeline. Also, it's no longer possiblie to query the public timeline or any public data by foreign persons. Another problem is that the username field is no longer available, so it will not work anymore to query the id of a user by the username. Is there any other way to do this?
And is it possible to get the feed via RSS?
Does anyone know whether these changes are final? Our existing software is dependent on this data. We develop it for 2 years and have customers who use our software. Does anyone have a similar problem and a solution for it?
Is there any statement from Facebook, why they made these API changes?
I'm very grateful about answers.

I have a blog on Wordpress with installed "Simple Facebook comments" plugin. It working couple of years but some time ago i found out that for some posts Facebook API showing me "N" comments but display none.
I tried to add comment to this kind of post and comments counter showing "N+1" but i was able to see only one most recent comment. I was trying to receive all of existing comment via Open Graph API (example: http://graph.facebook.com/comments?id=http://blog.spafinder.ca/breaking-free-toxic-relationship/) but it returning only one comment after that i was requested comments number for the same post (REST API: http://api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=links.getStats&format=json&urls=http://blog.spafinder.ca/breaking-free-toxic-relationship/ , GRAPH API: http://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://blog.spafinder.ca/breaking-free-toxic-relationship/) and it told me that i have 2 comments.
I tried to clear OpenGraph cache, request comment number with another resources and it wasn't help.
Do you have any idea why it happening? I would be a very grateful if somebody will told me the possible way to solve that problem.
Thanks.
Based on the url you posted, that plugin seems to be using the Facebook Rest Server API which has been deprecated as noted below...
We announced the Graph API at f8 2010. Since that event, we have been working hard to ensure that the most important functionality that developers were using with the REST API is available via the Graph API. For the past several months we have been slowly launching new features in the Graph API to bring it up to parity with the REST API
This article is 3 years old so I wouldn't be surprised to find out that there are bugs in the existing deprecated API since they have dropped support for it. That said, be sure to read the documentation of the plugin you're using, they might have updated the plugin.
Also, if you wish to do this job manually, rather than depending on a third-party, be sure to read the documentation regarding this endpoint because permissions and default filters can affect the output...
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.0/object/comments/
So Facebook introduced a new feature allowing you to include not only links/pictures/locations to a post, but also a moods, music, videogames etc.
Does the Graph API allow you to post these somehow? As far as I can see, the post end point only supports "link"|"photo"|"video" -> https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/
The feature to express actions in the status composer is still being rolled out to the public.
The Graph API does not allow you to post these at the moment.
It is built off Open Graph actions (e.g. feeling) and objects (e.g. happy), so I imagine this will come out in the later months.
I want to publish message on Facebook's fan page using JAVA/GWT API.
Any one know any API to do this in GWT?
I am trying it with facebook4gwt.
But don't know TemplateBundleId in facebook, which is needed for publishing message on wall.
The gwt-facebook project adds Facebook API methods to GWT, but doesn't appear to have any wall-posting methods listed in its currently-supported API methods. You could probably take a look at the source and add this feature though, it would probably just be an addition to FacebookApi (see this diff which added the comment_add feature.
