Have any idea about it?
I guess you're using the stream table then? Please add some FQL query code so that we can follow what you are trying to achieve!
Notice that you need the read_stream permission with the appropriate access token for the respective User/Page as described here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/stream/#permissions

Hi,
As title, in my facebook group, I need to retrieve only post without comments.
I see the search box and notice that searching something will give an url with
`?query=Word%20Search`
and maybe there is a way to search post without comments by url.
Thanks for help!
You must use the Graph API to retrieve data from Facebook. There is example code how to get the group feed in the docs: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/group/feed#read
You can´t filter by posts without comments, you need to do the filtering on your own after getting the posts.
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.
I want to get all the photos of the user who gave permission to the app. Currently, I tried single and batch request of Graph API but it always paginates the results. Is there a seamless way to get all the objects without following pages?
ps: I'm using PHP-SDK so answering in php is the money :)
I found out that giving limit=0 is solving the problem. It still generates paging object but they return empty data set. So, limit=0 returns the whole dataset in one shot.
I am trying to retrieve metrics post_impressions_unique, post_consumptions or anything started with a post but Facebook always return empty array for me.
Anyone know what is the problem here?
Are you sure you have the right permissions?
You need read_insight permissions to view post impressions using fql or the graph api.
Here is more information Facebook Developer Guide
As well as needing the read_insights permission, this information is only available for posts made by your page, so check you're actually checking the right posts
Make sure you pass in the entire object ID of the post. It will be of the format pageid_postid (eg. 24379523495_8924592457245) and you need to quote it in single quotes - otherwise you'll get an error about an unexpected underscore.
I can't find them in the "stream" table, nor if with a "link_stat" query... any solutions ?
I think there is no such table (like the "like" table) in fql,but if you want to query the share count, you can retrieve it from the graph api without fql (see here for a share count example). Unfortunately, there seems to be no option yet to get the user or user-ids who shared a facebook object, just the share-count. Correct me if i´m wrong..
You can get them via "link_stat" table.
