I can get users check-ins with Graph API but not with FQL.
SELECT place FROM stream WHERE filter_key = 'owner' AND with_location = 'true' AND type = 285
Returns empty result.
SELECT message FROM checkin WHERE author_uid = me()
This returns very old check-ins which is like deprecated table.
How can I get FQL query to work with current users check-ins?
The problem here is that looks like Facebook deprecated checkin table and there are no new checkins here anymore. They started to use location_post table. So to get your checkins you may use
SELECT app_id, coords, author_uid, id, message, page_id, page_type, post_id, tagged_uids, timestamp, type FROM location_post WHERE author_uid = me()
Your attempt is very close. If you want to avoid returning old check-ins, add a where clause for timestamp. For example, if I want to get check-ins for myself during the last 6 months (2678400 seconds in a month), I would do:
SELECT author_uid, tagged_uids, target_id, coords, timestamp, message
FROM checkin WHERE author_uid = me() and timestamp > (now() -
(2678400*6))
If you want to grab checkins of friends, I would do:
SELECT author_uid, tagged_uids, target_id, coords, timestamp, message
FROM checkin WHERE author_uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 =
me()) and timestamp > (now() - (2678400*6))

I'm trying to get all my friend's last position update with this fql query:
SELECT author_uid, message, latitude, longitude, timestamp FROM location_post WHERE author_uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me())
I would like to take just the latest update for every friend but this query returns me more than one update for a single friend.
I tried to set a limit at the end of the query (equal to the number of my friends) but it does not work.
How I should change it?
If it was a normal database, not a facebook FQL, you could use join and get your results in single query. Unfortunately Facebook FQL does not allow joins or even max function.
But you can:
Receive all the friend ids like in your query
SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()
Then for each friend uid run the query
SELECT author_uid, message, latitude, longitude, timestamp FROM location_post
WHERE author_uid = FRIEND_ID order by timestamp desc limit 1
How can i get the last 50 photos uploaded by all my friends ?
I try to run this query in FQL:
SELECT pid, src
FROM photo
WHERE
owner IN (SELECT uid1 FROM friend WHERE uid2=me())
OR pid IN (
SELECT pid FROM photo_tag
WHERE subject in (SELECT uid1 FROM friend WHERE uid2=me())
)
ORDER BY created DESC
LIMIT 50 OFFSET 0
I need to get last 50 photos from all my friends or that my friends where tagged in...
when i run it in the API Explorer i get an error:
{
"error": "Request failed"
}
I know i have sufficen permission becus when i run these 2 query i get results:
SELECT pid, src FROM photo WHERE owner =(me())
and
SELECT uid1 FROM friend WHERE uid2=me()
EDIT:
I have also tried this ..
SELECT pid, caption, aid, owner, link, src_big, src_small, created, modified FROM photo
WHERE owner IN ( SELECT uid1 FROM friend WHERE uid2=me() )
and created >= 1377800559
ORDER BY created DESC LIMIT 100
how can i get more information ?
is it not possible to run such a query ?
Finnaly !!! Last Posted Photos from all friends...
SELECT pid, src, src_small, src_big, target_id, created, backdated_time
FROM photo where pid in (
SELECT attachment.media.photo.pid
FROM stream
WHERE filter_key IN (SELECT filter_key FROM stream_filter WHERE uid=me()) AND type = 247
)
as you can see my initial approach was all wrong ...
it is actually required to use the stream table to get the latest posts..
then it could be filtered to get only photos posted and use their pid to get all the required info !!! YAY!
I hope it helps other that encounter the same issue..
I'm not sure why, but a weird thing is happening here. When I tried your query- I got
Request failed
Then, after digging a bit I replaced SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me() with the IDs and the query worked!
So, as a solution you could first try to get the list of friends with :
SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()
Then use this result in your query as-
SELECT pid, src
FROM photo
WHERE
owner IN (ID1, ID2, ID3 ...)
OR pid IN (
SELECT pid FROM photo_tag
WHERE subject IN (ID1, ID2, ID3 ...)
)
ORDER BY created DESC
LIMIT 50 OFFSET 0
Strange, but this'll work!
I use this query:
SELECT id, author_uid, message, latitude, longitude, timestamp FROM location_post
WHERE author_uid IN
(SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1=me()) ORDER BY timestamp DESC";
My question is how can I show the name from the poster because there is no SELECT name FROM location_post. I hope somebody can help me.
Thanks!
Fetch the author_id and make new FQL or graph api request
lets say author_id is 123.
FQL:
SELECT name FROM user WHERE uid = 123
Graph API
http://graph.facebook.com/123?fields=name
You need to do this as a multiquery:
{"locations":"SELECT id, author_uid, message, latitude,...",
"authors":"SELECT name, id FROM profile WHERE id IN
(SELECT author_uid FROM #locations")}
I am attempting to pull the most recent 50 status updates by friends from Facebook using FQL, but it appears the status table nor the feed table work as expected. I am using the following query, but it's results are only the updates since the last Friday # midnight EST (i.e. at the time of this post 12/07/12 # 12AM EST) which is not enough for my need.
SELECT post_id,actor_id,target_id,message,created_time FROM stream WHERE source_id IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) AND filter_key = "nf" AND created_time > 1 AND type = 46 ORDER BY created_time DESC LIMIT 50
Is there another way to get the most recent 50 status updates from friends that I can use? I have tried the status table, but there are even less results in it.
From http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/stream :
Each query of the stream table is limited to the previous 30 days or 50 posts, whichever is greater, however you can use time-specific fields such as created_time along with FQL operators (such as < or >) to retrieve a much greater range of posts.
Try the status table
SELECT message, status_id, uid FROM status WHERE uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) ORDER BY time DESC LIMIT 50
You can try this
SELECT message, status_id, uid FROM status WHERE uid IN
(SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me())
ORDER BY time DESC LIMIT 50
but be sure to have the friend permissons messege right ;)
Using the graph api it's possible to do:
https://graph.facebook.com/me/checkins
But how am I supposed to do it with FQL?
I tried this which suggests:
SELECT message FROM checkin WHERE author_uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me())
AND me() IN tagged_uids
but it doesn't return even a single result.
Thanks.
From what I can see, IN doesn't seem to work with me(). You have to first get the user id and assign this to a variable. This throws an OAuth exception:
SELECT message FROM checkin WHERE author_uid = me() OR me() IN tagged_ids
but if you set [UserId] to the current user's id, this works:
SELECT message FROM checkin WHERE author_uid = [UserId] OR [UserId] IN tagged_ids
You don't need to use the friend subquery. FQL will only return checkins that are visible to your user.
For this to work, make sure your access_token has both the user_checkins and friends_checkins permissions.
#cpilko gave a solution, but I've found another one, so I am adding it here as a reference for whoever reach this page:
SELECT id FROM location_post WHERE ([UserId] IN tagged_uids OR author_uid=me()) AND strpos(type,"checkin")>=0
