first of all, I want to say: My english is not good enough to write in a fully comprehensive way but I'll try to explain my problem...
Is it possible to get the date that the user has entered or added in a specific group ?
Or there's another way to achieve that ?
I've tried to use the Graph API url to find the user groups and parsing the data
https://graph.facebook.com/me/groups?access_token=CLIENT_TOKEN
There are another more effective way ? And how I can see the date from entry to the group ?
Is it possible ?
Thanks in advance
As far as I know there's no possibility to do that. There's the group_member table in FQL (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/group_member/), but it doesn't contain a date.

I'm getting this error when sending some place_topics on an update request to the Facebook Graph API for a given Facebook Location Page.
{"error"=>{"message"=>"(#371) Some subcategories don't represent a place.", "type"=>"OAuthException", "code"=>371, "error_subcode"=>1721087, "fbtrace_id"=>"CIewiBZL+jf"}}
It is fixed by changing the category_id for another one. BTW, I would like to know if is there a way of knowing which categories are allowed and which ones doesn't. It would be nice to know it in advance to disallow some of the Facebook Categories in the editing process of our tool and avoid errors.
Thanks,
David.
Use search?type=placetopic&topic_filter=all in graph explorer to get list of valid place topics
I want to import posts of a page between 07-12-2017 and 10-12-2017.
I have converted the dates to unix timestamps.
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.11/ekantipur?fields=posts.until(1512926148).limit(125)&access_token=MyAccessToken
works and so does
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.11/ekantipur?fields=posts.since(1512666948).limit(125)&access_token=MyAccessToken
But since and until together does not work. It only shows a single id.
Is there an another way to accomplish this task? If yes please reply. Thankyou in advance.
Update here is my updated Url with since and until. Its still not working.
123456/posts?since=07-12-2017&until=10-12-2017
Can you update the original post with your combined Since and Until?
I'm assuming that the SINCE is set to 7/17 and the UNTIL is 10/17, correct? It looks that way from the converted numbers, but I try not to assume it isn't something small like that :). No offense intended.
Looking at the graph API, I am using the page id of one I am the admin of and using since and until and it's coming back with posts between 07-12-2017 and 10-12-2017. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the limit in your urls. What if the limit statements are narrowing things down too much?
I'm just putting this into the graph API and getting the results I'm expecting: (no, my page id isn't 123456)
Granted, I'm not calling it in a url, Graph API is pretty forgiving.
As I can get other details of group like members, feeds etc, but being an admin, I want a created date of group using graph API. Please help me...
Thanks.
There is no straight option, but there are two workarounds to achieve something (it's not 100% perfect):
you can get the date when the group was last updated: Group, using updated_time field
second option, you can create a doc, that the group was established, and when you will have created doc, you can access created_time field, on group docs: Group-Doc
Hope, that helps.
I have a Facebook application, which I would like to be able to read facebook group feeds.
I have a user-input feed url, that looks like this: http://www.facebook.com/groups/music.sharing/
To access the feed though, I can only use its id, like this: http://graph.facebook.com/[id of group]/feed
I cannot find anything for that in the reference, FQL doesn't allow querying by name so .. I'm stuck. Any ideas ?
Thanks!
Its not possible right now, there are multiple open "bugs" and another stating the issue...
All the ways I have tried have failed... e.g. (below would work for pages)
fql?q=select id from profile where username='music.sharing'
We are facing this same problem on our current project. It is not an elegant solution that uses the API, but for now we will be using a workaround by scraping the HTML of the group landing page. The group ID number appears four times on this page in the html via links. The most reliable way to search for the ID is to search for "cid=" as it only appears once (right now, anyway) on the page (what follows cid= is the numerical ID). You'll see what I mean when you examine the html of a group page.
If you found a more efficient solution, I'd be grateful if you shared :)
A possible alternative until bug resolution could be: if you are asking your users for permissions then you can ask for the additional permission, user_groups, and then query graph api http://graph.facebook.com/[id of user]/groups. The returned data has group name, id, version, bookmark_order.
My client need to randomize over everyone that shared a specific note on his facebook page, it's like a raffle, however, i didn't found a way to get any info, even the name in a way that i can randomize over them, is there any way that i can fetch this information?
You can query the note for the comments or likes if you are looking at a specific note. Or you can query the user for all their notes and loop over that.
Depending on what language you are using, randomly choosing from an array of items should be trivial.
