I am wondering if it is possible to get user interests using their OpenGraph API.
What I want to get is something similar to the following:
User A interested in online shopping, guitar, Amazon.com, iPhone cases, iPhone Accessories
So on and so forth...
As of my research, I found that it's only possible to get user page likes.

I am having some trouble determining how to go about a certain issue. I am pretty new at trying to obtain social media data. Say an internet user publishes something that is essentially a post from from a website that is external to Facebook, to the user's Facebook feed. Is there a way to obtain the amount of likes, shares, comments, and other insight type data from those posts? I'm aware/currently learning about Facebook's open graph api, but I am unsure if it allows for this type of query. It seemed to be primarily for people, pages, and places, and I have not found a way to query only posts from a website specifically.
To be more detailed, a user will have the option of posting a jpeg type image to their Facebook feed. This is for a single website, where the website would like to do this in order to gauge how those posts are being perceived and interacted with by other Facebook users. Is there a way to obtain data on these specifically?
Also, if so, is there a way to tag or apply specific identifications to categories of these posts in some way before they are posted by the user to their feed, to allow for segmentation of the data? Any help is very much appreciated.
I would like to build a project to know users' behavior when they surf facebook website, especially the advertisements showing in their timeline wall. I have learned the basic idea of facebook graph api, knowing how to access the users' information and their feeds. However, I found that the feeds returned by facebook graph api is not "exactly" what user really see when they open facebook url in their browser. First, in graph api, it doesn't show the advertisements posted by sponsors. Second, the feeds returned by facebook api seem only regarding to my own posts(e.g. the photo tagging me, the posts tagging me). So, I would like to know how to access these information to rebuild a testbed that looks like exactly same as the real facebook website to record people reaction to it and continue my research?
Any idea is welcome ^^
This isn't really possible or rather I don't know any API (Facebook/Twitter/etc) that would do this to their third-party developers. The point of the API is to pull user data, not ads.
Also it sounds like you are using /me/posts or/me/feed instead of /me/home
Hi I'm a web developer and a client has asked me if I can build an app that displays the information contained inside the OrderedFriendsListInitialData. This information is found when you view the source code on your Facebook news feed.
The Facebook Terms of Service is very clear about NOT scraping Facebook pages, so I would need to access the data via the API. The idea is to allow users to see this list in a convenient way though a Facebook app.
Also, if this is NOT possible, then would Facebook make an exception to scraping this singular element for the sole purpose of displaying it to the user it was generated for.
I.e. not showing it to other people, only scraping the data to show it directly to the user without saving it to any database.
There is no API available to return the coefficient-ranked friends list - if your app needs to organise friends based on the user's relationship to the friends, a popular method to do this is to examine the user's photo tags and/or news feed and likes to choose friends most closely associated with the user
I've looked through several tutorials on using the Facebook API, but none of them address what I'm trying to do.
I'm working on a website for a small college. When the user applies online, they would like it to redirect to a page with a link that will put a post on your Facebook wall that says, "Billy just applied to Awesome State College" with a link to apply and an image of some sort (probably the school's logo).
I guess it would be similar to the way Facebook games throw up posts, saying "Gertrude just clubbed 300 baby seals in 'Clubbing Baby Animals Pro'!" But I wouldn't need to create a whole new Facebook app for this, would I?
Posting on a user's wall requires an access token, which you can get with the help of
one of Facebook SDKs, which will need your app id.
Reference for posting on user's wall:

See section Publishing.
You can use Facebook Javascript SDk as the need is simple:

I am designing an App for iPhone and I want the user to share my App to his or her best friends. Now I can get user's friendlist throught Facebook Graph API. But how could I find user's best friends? I have an idea that I can use the user's wall to find which friend often appears on the wall. However, some pages and famous people like Obama always appears on the wall. Could someone give a feasible solution?
Define “best friends”, please.
If that is supposed to be something based on the user’s personal perspective at the very moment – then probably best to just let them choose their “best friends” the want to a request to themselves via a simple multi-friend selector.
Or are you referring to a user’s list of “close friends”, the default friend list on Facebook that every user can add friends to? That’s available via API, check the /me/friendlists connection. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/FriendList/
