Is anybody know if I can get sports activity like (walking, cycling) from Facebook Graph API?
Now I use this link
me/feed/?fields=application
and I receiving something like this:
{
"application": {
"category": "Lifestyle",
"link": "http://www.endomondo.com/",
"name": "Endomondo Sports Tracker",
"namespace": "endoapp",
"id": "20242565452"
},
Can I filter the feed to show only sport activity? (not only from endomondo, but any others app like strava, garmin etc.)

I'm able to get JSON posts feed for a Public Group Page in FaceBook. However, the feed is limited to the following:

I'm able to get the message text, created_time, and id. How can I include pictures/icons of the post?
After #WizKid responded above, this what worked for me: https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/[page-id]/feed?access_token=[access_token]&fields=picture,id,message
I have posted a link to a spotify track on my facebook account - something like this:
http://open.spotify.com/track/0aXxt38KBHHSmwNsHtIonU
Facebook appears to pick up the link (I get the track image and other data appearing in my feed)
But when I make a request to it via /me/feed in the graph api, there's no link or data relating to the track itself. All I get back is object that looks like this:
..{
"id": "{{some_id}}",
"from": {
"id": "{{my_id}}",
"name": "Si Davies"
},
"icon": "https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/y0/r/nAApRnfWfNW.gif",

}

"updated_time": "2014-06-17T02:17:06+0000"
}...
Which isn't much use to me - I've tried specifying a link field with something like me/feed?fields=link and also mucked around granting various permissions with little or no effect.. how can I see what spotify track was added to my feed from the graph api?
Spotify seems to use the global music.listens Facebook OpenGraph action. Have a look at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/music/
You should be able to retrieve your data by issuing
GET /me/music.listens
according to the docs at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph/action-type/music.listens#read Remember to grant the user_actions.music permission to be able to read the data (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.0#reference-opengraph)
I am fetching the Facebook news feeds through API. User can comment on a post from website. but some posts doesnot allow the comment like Like Stories, add friend stories, change profile pic stories etc
How I can check that if the post allow the comment or not
The actions property of the post when you retrieve it from the API will show if the current (whose access_token you're using) user can like or comment on the post, e.g.
/20531316728_167191526758558
Contains:

How can a facebook app, have access to a social reader's post in the feed? For example, I want to have access to Washington Post's social reader post (when someone else reads an article there and it gets shown up in my news feed) from an app that I am writing. Is it possible to do so, using FQL?
It's easily available in the Graph API (i'll check if it's in FQL)
Basically, either way you'll need to request the user_actions.reads permission from your users. (NB: not user_actions:reads which would be for an app whose namespace is 'reads', for news, music and video apps using the build-in actions there's a special scope)
Then, for the Graph API, just make a call to /USER_ID/news.reads - the response includes the recently read articles from all apps using the built-in 'read' action, example response for my account below:
{
"data": [
{
"id": "REMOVED_ID",

I've been testing graph API and ran into a problem. How can I get like count from photos of a page/group?
I'm administrator/creator of a group. When entering in https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ certain photo ID from that group it brings almost all data, even comments, but not the like count. For like part it needs (according to docs) access token despite the fact that anyone can access that info.
How to get access token of my page/group with required permissions and how to use it to get info I need?
If possible I would like to get JSON from a single address if it is possible.
This is possible with a page (even without an access token!) and here's how:
Visit the page on the graph
Get the page's id by going to the page's url:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/platform/19292868552
The number on the end of the URL is the page's id. Take that id and use it with the graph explorer (here) or just visit it directly.
Visit the page's albums
Now appending albums to that url will give you all the albums the page has, including wall photos:
https://graph.facebook.com/19292868552/albums
The output looks like this:
{
"data": [
{
"id": "10150160810478553",
"from": {
"name": "Facebook Platform",
"category": "Product/service",
"id": "19292868552"
},
"name": "Bringing Operation Developer Love to Europe",

"created_time": "2011-04-06T23:05:44+0000",
"updated_time": "2011-04-06T23:33:20+0000",
"comments": {
..... etc ....
Selecting an album
For each object in the data array there is an id and a name. Using these two fields you can select the album that contains the photos you want. The first album in this result is "Bringing Operation Developer Love to Europe". Lets look at this albums photos.
Seeing Photos
If you've followed the answer up to this point the next step should be fairly obvious. Use the id for the album you want and append photos to the graph url:
https://graph.facebook.com/10150160810478553/photos
Seeing a Photo's likes
Much like selecting an album, simply use an id in the output of the above step and append likes to the url to see a photos likes:
https://graph.facebook.com/10150160813853553/likes
Output:
{
"data": [
{
"id": "1163036945",
"name": "Aditya Pn"
},
{
"id": "1555885347",
"name": "Nadin M\u00f6ller"
},
{
"id": "100001643068103",
"name": "Umut Ayg\u00fcn"
},
{
"id": "100000165334510",
"name": "Alessandra Milfont"
},
{
"id": "100001472353494",
"name": "Sayer Mohammad Naz"
},
{
"id": "1051008973",
"name": "Jenson Daniel Chambi"
},
{
"id": "100000233515895",
"name": "Ruby Atiga"
},
Using this output you can simply count the number of entries in the data array to get the like count.
Note that all of this is possible from using the graph explorer by clicking on ids in the output box and the connections sidebar (except for the last /likes connection, which will hopefully be added soon. I hope this helps. Also, you do not need an access token to do any of this because pages are public. Hope this helps!
You can get the comments/likes count without having to paginate through all likes by using the fields parameter in combination with likes.limit(1).summary(true). For example, a search api query for pizza below will give you all public posts and their likes count summarized:
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=pizza&type=post&fields=id,name,likes.limit(1).summary(true)

/me/feed returns a LIKES field
I used a solution where I simply find the number of items in the array which display LIKES
Object.keys(item.likes.data).length
This returns the "length" of an object -- which is equal to the number of likes.
http://graph.facebook.com/223766074374957
there is a likes property in the response
