Me and my friends are frequently using a Facebook group chat conversation. I'm building a web app that allows them to login with Facebook and do some silly stuff. Is there any way I can add that specific Facebook conversation so they can chat while on the website just like they would on facebook? I checked the API but didn't really find any references to this
Has anyone done stuff like this?
The Chat API is deprecated, it is impossible to do that.

I am working on implementing Facebook PAGE messenger for my site and I want to add a feature that I can call Facebook User who message my Facebook PAGE. I already search on google about this matter but still no luck. is this possible to do?
If not possible do you have any suggestion how can i call the Facebook User and how can I implement it in my site.
Thank you in advance happy coding
This is not possible using Facebook provided API's.
However you can send the user a Call button with your businesses phone number which they can one-click to call you.

Following are my requirements
created space in website that user can come and sign up with FB or Instagram to integrate their account
Through Graph API for FB and API for Instagram, I can able to view and post the images to FB (post is not possible to instagram)
My requirement would be any activities (like and share ) happened at the FB or Instagram page should receives as notification to my website
I came to know there is no direct APIs available to achieving notifications but I have seen them in "Social Stream" app.
any help would be appreciated on how could achieve this functionality
TIA
You can get likes, comments and posts using API. You can poll them at regular interval, compare new data and create your own notifications.
(You have to get your app approved by Instagram to get API permissions, which may be possible for your usecase, if you do get approval, then its possible to achieve what you are trying to do.)
If I create a browser based Facebook app is it possible to talk, using Facebook chat, with the users that use my app? Is there any kind of users list that used the app like the normal friends list?
No, you are unable to do this. The only way would be to friend the users and then use the chat. Technically your app is not sentient and therefore unable to "chat". An alternative for you might be to request the users email address from permissions and then contact them using this.
Is there a way (perhaps through a rest api or graph api) to allow a user of my application to write on a friends wall without the usual 'on behalf of' or posted by my application? I know many people will not authorize an application that can post on your behalf, but I'd still like my users to be able to easily write on friends walls (without leaving the game page). I'm fine with it not promoting my game in any way - it should look just like it would if done through Facebook's site. I know there is something like this for Google+ using their mobile restful interface. Is this possible for Facebook and if so, how?
No, I don’t think there is a way of doing that. If a user uses an app to create content, then it will show that he used this app.
This is a not exactly a technical question - sorry in advance .
I have a social web app on Facebook and I want to give my app's users the ability to chat between themselves (exactly the way facebook chat looks). As I see it here are my options :
1 : Regarding the Facebook Chat API http://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat/ it is not clear to me whether this works only for a user's Facebook friends or will I have the ability to let non friends chat too (it is very important since 99% of my users aren't supposed to be Facebook friends). I read it a few times and it seems that this service is only for a Facebook user and his Facebook friends , but maybe I am wrong ?
2 : If I am right and Facebook Chat API is only for friends , what is an easy and safe way to implement a simple chat between 2 users myself? (I am not expecting millions of users on my app so it's not out of the question for my app to implement a chat).
Per Send message to a non-friend facebook user?, you cannot send chat messages via the API between Facebook users that are not connected.
