So I am making a website and I really want to use a lot of the beautiful images on facebook pages on my site. A lot of them are on facebook and I'm not sure the best and most legal way to do this is. There are a ton of articles online about this but they are wishy washy and have left me still confused on what I can can't do.
So what I think I've concluded is I can't download images, save them on my database, and change them in any way without consent of the facebook page. This is true even if they are public I think. Although I can use the graph api on anything that is public.
I'm just very confused with the whole image copyright world right now and would love some insight.
You can you Facebook Graph API to retrieve all of your photos.
If you're developing your own site, you can create an Facebook App, this app has permission of getting photos.
Then, you grant this app to authorize with your facebook account. Once you grant the app, you have an access token to retrieve photos via Facebook Graph API.

It is maybe a duplicated question, sorry if it is.
I want to post on a Facebook page that I own. I am using the graph API but I don't know how can I do this.
I have an APP, I'm using it for Facebook login. But I don't know if I have to make another APP just for the extra permissions for publishing on my page because I don't want that the APP ask to extra permissions to the users that are using the Facebook's login in my page.
My goal is create posts to my Facebook page from my website.
Thanks for the help, and sorry for my bad English writing.
Is there anything I need to do to make posts users make on their wall via a custom ios application using it's own facebook app id, also appear on app's (facebook app it uses I mean) own facebook page?
I would expect this to appear automatically but it doesn't seem to be the case.
In order to read one's Facebook wall, you need the access token to authenticate reading. This will give you access to all non-public wall posts. From this, you can pass the newly posted content to your page through the feed action.

Enjoy and good luck!
I need to display the "wall posts" from Facebook page to another website's social media wall.
The problem is that I never used neither Facebook nor any other social networks and got no clues on how do they work. That's why I'm pretty confused with API and it's terms.
The API docs say that I need a pageId for the page I'd like to display and appId and appSecret to get an access token to the feed.
I understand how to get the token and how to parse the results - but what kind of Application do I need for that? Should I create a facebook profile and make an application that would generate me these app codes? Or ask a page's owner to do it?
I spent quite a time googling but it must be something too obvious to write about it in docs? Help please?
The administrator of the facebook page is the only one that has access to the posts on the page wall.
For the APP:
The application can be created in any facebook verified account - go to: https://developers.facebook.com/apps and create the new app - this will give you the app id and secret.
Use the Facebook SDK that you feel most comfortable with to develop the app.
For the wall posts: There are several Graph API requests for wall posts in the form of:
https://graph.facebook.com/[pageid]/[call] where [call] can be posts, statuses, feed, home. See http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/questions/6214535/what-is-the-difference-between-feed-posts-and-statuses-in-facebook-graph-api for details about each.
Using an access token (that you said you already know how to get) the administrator of the page will be able to call the above URLs and get the wall posts.
For the part with posting the info on another social media website you have to specify the exact environment where you want the wall posts to end up.
I have web portal. I need to somehow get all Facebook wall posts from just one specific user or group( that represents my web portal). I need to have wall posts available on my web portal for further processing.
I will be also needing an option for posting messages from web portal to FB user/group wall.
I haven`t worked with FB API until now, so any materials, tutorials that can lead me in right direction would be of great help.
Can this be done without creating Facebook application?
Thank you
No,
Facebook just like that does not share its user information.
you will have to create an app on facebook to authorize urself,and on your web portal you will have to sek users permission before getting any user info.
craete facebook app here https://developers.facebook.com/apps
You can choose between javascript sdk and graph api on how you want to get user data.
You can use publish_stream permisiion to get the post on user wall.

Google, but I would be careful here. Try to search for updated tutorials (written or updated on 2011)
I used this http://neosmart.de/social-media/facebook-wall its fb.wall plugin into jQuery .js library. It easy and can be edited symply via CSS
I am trying to write a facebook app using Facebook C# sdk 5.1.1. The app should let the users to upload a picture to a Facebook page. I was able to write the app where only the admins of the page are able to upload the picture but not users. Even if the user has liked that page I am not able to do it.
I know its possible because on iPhone or from web site you can visit a page and write something on wall or share a photo. But I am not able to figure out how to do it using Facebook API.
the user of the application needs to grant the publish_stream permissions.
You can then make a call to
https://graph.facebook.com/<page_id>/feed?message=<yourmessage>&picture=<picture_url>&access_token=<access_token>&method=POST.
You can try this first by using the Graph API Explorer
Hope this helps.
