is there anyway to query the Facebook api for a particular groups user content?
the Facebook api groups feed only retrieves posts by the group(admins) itself.
If it can be done , I don't seem to be able to see it in the documentation
I don't think the group-id/feed only return the group admins' post. In my case I can see exactly the same content as in the group's timeline.

Right now I am using Instagram API Platform with the "Public Content
- capabilities to read public media on a user's behalf" rights for my app. As it is stated on the website, it will be deprecated on December 11, 2018 and they are pointing to the new Instagram Graph API.
I went through the documentation but could not find what I need. I would like to know if it is possible with the new API to:
Get all posts info (user that posted, the number of followers, caption, likes count and the media itself). With the Mentions API from Instagram Graph API you can get all posts where your Business account is tagged #account, but they require media_id which I don't have, how do I get it?
Get all posts with a specific hashtag, of a specific user (non-business account) within a timeframe. From the comments it is clear that this is not possible for now. Still hope to get an answer to my first question.
I would like to know if the above mentioned are possible with the new API and it would be nice if you can point me to the right API. Thank you in advance
but they require media_id which I don't have, how do I get it?
You can get the list of media id's on which an account has been tagged using the tags endpoint.
v4.0/<account id>?fields=tags
Once you have the list of media items in which the account has been tagged, you can cycle through them and return the following fields each media post.
Returnable Fields: caption, comments, comments_count, like_count, media_type, media_url, owner — The ID of the user who owns the object., timestamp, username
With the owner ID of the post you might be able to look up more of the fields you are looking for, but you will likely run into some permission issues.
I am making ios and android apps and I want to get number of likes, shares, comments of any post that is posted by particular user from his/her Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts.
Means how can we get number of like, share, comment of the particular user's post of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter?
Does Facebook, Instagram and Twitter APIs/SDKs support this?
Please provide any reference link to achieve this.
I'm not sure about twitter or instagram API's but facebook graph API allows you to do this, given that you have the necessary permissions.
You can always check the public data, your own posts and such..if you want to have access to the data of a particular users feed/posts they will need to provide you with that permission. (user_posts in this case)
As for the total count you can retrieve it by adding .summary(1) to the end of your query ex. for likes, comments and shares.
me?fields=posts{comments.summary(1),likes.summary(1),shares}
you can also limit the number of comments/likes/shares to zero so that you retrieve only the total count per post. If that is what you want simply ad .limit(0) before the .summary(1) ex. comments.limit(0).summary(1)
Shares however are different from comments/likes/reactions, you can only retrieve the count of shares from graph API therefore you do not need to provide anything other than the "shares" query to the post to recieve that.
Cheers!
Is it possible to get for example the first 50 people who liked a post, photo, whatever I created on facebook via the Graph API? Is there any kind of order when accessing connections like /likes or /comments?
Use the following link (given that you have permissions to access to the post):
/likes?limit=50
This should be the first 50 likes ordered via Facebook (usually based on time).
ASFAIK, you cannot get a list of people who like a page. It's a privacy issue. If you wanted to create an app, and users authorized your app, then you could get a list of the current users friends who like the page.
I am new to Facebook's Graph API and FQL. I want small information about the same.
I want to get List of all pages liked by any particular user.
I have used Graph API just to allow user to get logged in with their Facebook ID and Can access their wall but don't know much about rest of the this.
I searched on Google for same but got information about list of pages that user administrate that I don't want, I want full list which is like by them.
It's a connection property of the User object.

I receive an email once a week with information on my Fan Page (like how many more users than last update have become my fan, how many posts, etc). Is it possible to get this info via the FB API so I can show this data where I want outside FB and outside my email?
One of the way is using fql of facebook :
Group FQL Table
After you can get the group ids, you can use the group_member tables to get all members from that group:
Group Member FQL Table
You can even use Graph API if you want but I am not an expert of that
