In facebook you can rate movies you watched with a five-star rating. Is there anyway to get this rating using Graph API?
This can be accessed via the
GET /me/video.rates
endpoint. See here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph/action-type/video.rates/#read for the documentation. As far as I know you need the "user_actions.video" permission, althought this is not explicitly stated in the permission docs below https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions#reference-opengraph

I need the statistics of users who have liked/commented on my Instagram post in a certain period of time.
After hours of searching, I came to the conclusion that I could use Instagram graph API to get a list of users who had commented on Instagram post.
but I need a list of users who had liked too.
in the Facebook Graph API docs it seems that such a possibility has been provided.
if it is possible how can I do that?
I tried to proceed according to the documents, but I think I made a mistake.
here is problem
I would like to get all the posts and updates that are normally displayed in FB official application for MY account (this includes updates from my friends and liked pages).
I wasn't able to find any details how to get that, the only thing I've managed to get is my own posts.
Anyone got any experience with that using current Graph API verion (3.3)?
All the alternate FB clients (ex. Friendly) must be doing this somehow.
There is no way to get ANY data of users who did not authorized your App. Which means, there is no way to get posts of friends. You can only get your own friends, with the user_posts permission and the /me/posts endpoint. If some Apps access friend data without their authorization, they are most likely doing something that is not allowed.
Here is what I found in their API docs:
There are two scopes:
The user feed requires the user's permission
The public feed has fewer capabilities but doesn't require perms
Im trying to use the Facebook graph api on rails to find for a specific post who shared it. Looking through the documentation and the api data it doesn't seem that this information is available for a specific post. I am able to get the likes and comments information, however not the shares.
Would anyone know whether the current Facebook Api gives that information? Thanks
Using Graph API, do a request to graph.facebook.com/POST_ID?fields=sharedposts.
Iterate through the resulting array to get the sharers' identity.
Example in Python here.
My question is,
if I am the user using an authorized web application, can I post something to my friends' timeline at once, and without any interactions with me?
I've read this topic and other relative posts on stackoverflow, and I understand that facebook had made some changes.
But when I read Feed Dialog document, I find out that it said:
Your application can also publish directly to a profile's timeline without interaction on the part of someone using your app. To accomplish this, use the corresponding Graph API call
while "Graph API call" is an unavailable link. And I can't figure out what the corresponding graph api call is.
You cannot Post to User's Friends timelines through the Graph API, as simple as that. You can only Post to the authorized User's wall through the Graph API.
The only way to achieve the similar functionality, as the blog post that you have checked suggests is,
If you want to allow people to post to their friend’s timeline from your app, you can invoke the feed dialog. Stories that include friends via user mentions tagging or action tagging will show up on the friend’s timeline (assuming the friend approves the tag).
Does someone know the API for updating user profile information on facebook?
I want for instance to change my location from my client application. Is that possible?
I am using Facebook C# SDK, but an example in any other language would be great.
I do not believe they support updating a user's profile information from the exposed Facebook API. The Graph API documentation currently states that only the following elements are editable (editable as in, you can create them):
Wall Posts (feed)
Object Comments
Likes
Notes
links
events
event status
albums
album photos
checkins
As you can see, the User object is not one of objects Facebook exposes for edit purposes. It does support the ability to publish location checkins, however. While this does not meet your goal of modifying the location attribute of a user's profile, it does provide some basic abilities.
POST https://graph.facebook.com/<profile_id>/checkins?
access_token=<access_token>
&coordinates={...}
&message=my+message
&place=<page_id>
&tags=<tag1>,<tag2>,...
See the checkin documentation for an example using curl. This example should be executable by any platform specific Facebook API (Java, C#, etc..).
You can't update informations from the API. All you can do is reading / searching / posting / deleting / analysing data.
You can find everything there.
