I'm trying to get the /sharedposts edge of a photo.
This link works in the browser:
https://www.facebook.com/shares/view?id=10152429679154254
And when I query the API for 10152429679154254, I get the info about it along with likes and comments, but there are no shares.
The API reference suggests that objectid/sharedposts should work, but when I do that I get an empty set...
Any ideas?
Looks like facebook has a bug report for this and is working through all the comments. Might find some helpful info here - https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/1404733043148335/

I'm trying to use Facebook graph API to get all the comments (mine and others) on my Facebook posts.
Currently I'm testing the api using Graph API Explorer & so far I'm getting only my comments.
I want to know did they change their policy or is there a way to get all the comments?
P.S: I didn't write any code so far.
But I followed the link:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/get-started
to use the graph API explorer and this is what I'm getting:
the image
In the "Tools" you will find the tool. And as you can see you will get the list of the comments. I'm just showing one of my comments (testingggg) as an example.
Unfortunately, the API doesn't give me the others' comments.
Am I missing something?
Thank you.
according to the document this is the way to get all the comment docs
I'm trying to get access to the page_fans_city edge from the Facebook Graph API.
I am using the following query:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/StrandTowerHotel/insights/page_fans_city/lifetime
For some reason though it keeps returning no data when I am using the Graph API explorer.
note: I am an admin/owner of the page
Whats interesting though is that if I just query https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/StrandTowerHotel/insights/ then I get all the other metrics results returned but "page_fans_city" is not in the results.
I have read through and tried the following solutions already posted on stack overflow but they don't seem to solve the issue.

Many thanks in advance for any help you can give me
After much searching and bug fixing it ended up being the facebook api was just having issues. now working perfectly :(
How can one get multiple attachments of a post/status in a group?
For example: A group status that some member wrote and added multiple photos to..
Currently I am using Graph api to get the group stream with group_id/feed and unable to see images attached to a single status - while accessing the feed from Facebook itself I can validate that there are few photos attached to the status.
Using FQL it is possible to get the attachments with the following query:
SELECT attachment FROM stream WHERE post_id = each_post_id
Considering I will have to send this request per post and that FQL will soon be gone I am searching for an alternative.
I was looking for a solution for this as well and actually just found it.
The Facebook Platform changelog says the following:
/v2.1/{post-id} will now return all photos attached to the post: In
previous versions of the API only the first photo was returned with a
post. This removes the need to use FQL to get all a post's photos.
With this knowledge I went to the Graph Api Explorer and found a post that had 2 attachments or more added to it.
After finding the post, and with that the post id, I tried the request Facebook told me to do:
/v2.1/{post_id}
This does NOT give you the desired result. The nice thing about the explorer is that you can search for fields you want to add to your request.
You want to add the attachments (plural) field. NOTE: It might be that the graph api explorer only shows the attachment (singular) field. This is NOT right.
So, to summarize:
Get the post id of the post containing the images.
Create a new request to the graph api that looks something like: /v2.1/{post_id}?fields=attachments
Then read the result to get your desired attachments.
I hope this helps you out as I have been struggling for a while as well.

PS: This is tested with a user and not a group, but it should be basically the same.
PS2: This is just an explanation of how you get attachments of a single post. You can also add the attachments field to the /me/home egde to immediately get all attachments at every post like so:
me/home?fields=message,from,attachments
PS3: The permissions you need are
user_status
read_stream
user_photos
user_videos
Facebook is not very clear on this matter and it is very hard to figure things out like this. So I hope this will help everyone that is searching for this solution.
I answered for the same question here : /v2.1/{post-id} does not deliver photos
It seems it's a Facebook bug. My colleague opened an issue. Here's the link: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/762280800482269/
You also can find some info here:

Hope it will help you.
Using the Graph API Explorer, I am trying to obtain the page_impressions metric (as described in the Facebook API Insights Documentation) for one of my pages. The actual value that I am looking for is the "Weekly Total Reach" number, found on the Facebook Insights page (https://www.facebook.com/userID?sk=page_insights).
What I've tried under Graph API:
userID/insights/ - Gives some good info, but nothing about
page_impressions
What I've tried under FQL Query:
SELECT metric, value FROM insights WHERE object_id=userID
AND metric='page_impressions' AND
end_time=end_time_date('2012-12-26') AND period=period('week') - This
returns an empty data set.
This same question (or very similar) has been asked a few times on stackoverflow, but I could not find an answer.
Turned out I was really just having issues with my Auth Token. When I used the following Graph API call it worked just fine:
/[pageId]/insights (thanks to Oleg, for the correction on pageId)
This gave me all the info I needed, including the page_impressions. And if I wanted just the page_impressions data:
/[pageId]/insights/page_impressions
How get my OWN comments, likes, actions just like my wall's recent activity shows for me or same way how my friend's feed work (it shows - "somebody likes a photo/video/anytng")?
Even more simple question: how to get all of news feed objects? Not only posts returned by API /posts, /home, /feed etc. And not only basic likes returned by API /likes. I need "friend1 commented ...", "friend2 likes photo", "friend3 and friend4 are now friends".
All of them.
I have fully checked access_token. Don't care about language/sdk.
Need your thoughts.
It looks like this is not possible. Very sad.
