Facebook recently added a new feature which allows bookmarking interesting links for reading later. Saved links are available in „Save” tab.
Is there any Facebook API (e.g. Graph API) for retrieving these saved items ?
The documentation of the API endpoint to access Facebook "Saved Links" used to be available at the following link:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph/action-type/save.saves/
However, Facebook removed the support for it around February/March 2016.
Answer edited on Apr, 15 2016. Thanks for the comments.
No such API feature exists.
If this will change it will be announced here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog

Has anyone had success with a mention of a FB Page via the Graph API? I'm trying to have one page mention another posting via the Graph API.
I have permissions: "pages_read_engagement" and "pages_manage_posts".
Have tested using FB Pages I'm the admin of with an approved app I'm admin of. Also these Pages are over 6 months old. Also using a real user (mine) and not a test user.
Have posted with #[Page Id], #[Page Name], #[Page ID:Page Name], and #[Page Id:1:Page Name]
Made sure in the Page setting mentions by others is allowed.
Using Facebook SDK version 11.0
and the post always has the mentioned removed.
For example "This is great #[109904187850644]"
posts as "This is great"
The only time mentions show is when the Page mentions itself.
For reference:

Related question but using version 2.1 from 7 years ago: Mention Facebook Page in Page API Post
Any thought on the issue? Permissions, way posting, etc?
I have done this recently so I hope I can help you out.
To me it sounds like while you have the required permissions you are missing the actual Page Mentioning Feature. As described on the Page Mentioning Reference the Feature is required to #mention other Pages this is why mentioning the posting Page itself works.
To get authorization to use said feature you have to do an App Review.
Additionally you might want to read up on the differences between Permissions and Features.
From my experience there is no way to test out any functionalities requiring a Feature without doing an App Review because the Graph API will not return any useful data even in development mode while you can test out any permissions without having to do an App Review before.
We have built an .net application which gets Facebook posts by searching for the specific hash tags we have given.
As Facebook is changing its rules from April 30 2015, which only allows v2.0 or later calls. Is there a way from v2.0 to search for Facebook posts?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
No, this is no longer possible since v2.0, because:
Public Post search is no longer available

Got a issue with Facebook Graph API. I want to read page notifications via Graph API. But Facebook documentation only states about user's notification.
Following only returns a user's notification (the user who provided the access token for this.)
http://graph.facebook.com/me/notifications
I did following techniques. But no luck.
01. But i tried with different urls with access token provided by the page. (with my stupid guess work by replacing page-id for me)
http://graph.facebook.com/page-id/notifications
02. Checked with Insights API. But Insights doesn't provide a straight forward solutions. This is more like stats. But all i just need a list of latest user/fan/post actions in the page.
https://graph.facebook.com/page-id/insights/field
Some background about my App (hope no issues with this as other API's working),
Platform .Net 4.0
Library I am using is C# Facebook SDK
Facebook documentation doesn't help much. I have spent a few day on this to find a solution for this. Just wondering if any of you guys came across this issue and solved. I hope i didn't put a duplicate question here, as i did search for few days on Stackoverflow too.
Thanks.
There isn't a page notification API. I don't believe there is any way to directly query this data.
You can get notifications of changes to a Facebook page using the Real-Time API. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/realtime/
Facebook now allows you to read Page unread notifications by querying the edge: {page-id}/notifications.
See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.7/page/notifications
From the FB Page docs for the notifications edge...
Notifications for this Page. Deprecated April 30, 2019.
Looks like the only way to track Page notifications at the moment is via the realtime Webhooks for a page, which isn't the same as reading the notifications from FB but it appears to be where we're at...until FB changes their mind again. ;)

I've been writing a small Facebook app which uses the unified_thread table using FQL. According to the documentation at the unified_thread documentation page the new messaging system is coming to all users. Where is it announced when that will happen? Is there some canonical resource by Facebook where they have some form of roadmap?
It looks like your wish will be granted on Nov 30th, 2011: Steps Toward the New Messaging System
Also, here is a direct link to the Facebook Dev Roadmap: Developer Roadmap
Facebook has officially launched its Facebook Questions. Does anyone know if it's possible to add one of the new Facebook "Question" polls through the Graph API? If so, how?
Thank you very much
They just announced this is available on their blog. To get them, issue an HTTP GET request to the USER_ID/questions endpoint with the user_questions or friends_questions permissions.
Update: they also just announced that you can create questions now via the API.
I've searched the http://developer.facebook.com page for poll related search terms and also online. This yielded no notable results.
It's probably worth making a poll with an external website, most I'm sure are compatible with the Open Graph but will not provide the Facebook interface that you expect on Facebook itself.
This has been deprecated as of Grpah 1.0 - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.0/question
