It's simple how can I search a post in Facebook with the API Facebook:
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=logo&type=post
This query retrieve all public posts which contain the word "logo". But, how could I search a post in a specific Fan page? Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
Alternative Solution:
I have thought of a hybrid solution: I can get all the posts with that query:
https://graph.facebook.com/search?fields=object_id&limit=25&type=post&q=logo
and through php to restrict only those belonging to specific Fan Page. Although I have a question, over what period of time the search is done?
What do you think?
To search in posts in page, use this:
https://graph.facebook.com/page_id_here/search?q=keyword_here&type=post

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 I query facebook's graph API to retrieve all user's likes (not only pages but also photos and others)?
For instance, how could I get all the pictures a user has liked? Using facebook's search bar you can find them easily by clicking on "photos has liked".
I wrote a script that scrapes the page content and does that but it's not very efficient.
I have recently come accross a similar problem, maybe this helps you solve it.
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/{page_id}/feed?fields=likes.limit(1).summary(true)&since={start_date}&until={end_date}&access_token={access_token}
This will give you a list of all posts that received likes during the specified time period. If you manage to write a code summing up the following JSON path you got your sum for "all user's likes":
data[0].likes.summary.total_count
Not entirely sure is this is exactly what you were searching for, hope it helps you though - and if not you, someone else.
As for likes you can also use the same way to extract Shares and Comments:
Shares
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/{page_id}/feed?fields=shares&since={start_date}&until={end_date}&access_token=
Comments
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/{page_id}/feed?fields=comments.limit(1).summary(true)&since={start_date}&until={end_date}&access_token=
Best regards
There isn't to my knowledge any way to get this from the API without grabbing every type of response from the API and then sorting through for likes. Facebook search bar uses an internal API different from the Graph API.
I am using the facebook search API to find posts that include my keyword. I noticed that the posts returned always belong to facebook profiles but never facebook pages. To back that up, I searched for keywords of low frequency which I spotted in pages but the API did not return them.
Is there any way I can search by keyword and get posts from pages too ?
Taking a look at the documentation: Just search with &type=post. From that documentation:
All public posts: https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=watermelon&type=post
I've been searching & found it's probably not possible.. but I thought I'd ask anyway:
I have this facebook page & I'd like to display the user-images(=avatars) of everyone who liked my page. I think it's really strange this isn't possible using the facebook API!
So basically I need to retrieve a list of users who liked my page. Something like this: (yet likes doesn't exist).
https://graph.facebook.com/page_name/likes?access_token=token
If I'd use the simple facebook plugin - it does display user images of people who liked my page.; so how come the plugin can retrieve these images but API can not ?
Any help is much appreciated!
thanks in advance,
Ben
There isn't an API call or FQL query you can call to get the list of users who like the page. Facebook has prevented this type of call for privacy reasons. You should stick with using the plugin instead.
We have references to other companies on our website and provide the option for people to 'like' them. After a quick skim of the Facebook documentation, I can't work out how to calculate the number of likes our website generates for others so we can measure our effectiveness. Is this possible?
Thanks
The easiest way to get this from the graph api for example https://graph.facebook.com/http://www.google.com there you can find the total number of likes and comments
You can subscribe to "edge.create" and count user likes of any like button on your site.
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.Event.subscribe/
There is another source (website or something) that have a like button with the same url? if not, you can query link_stat table using FQL to know the number of likes of a url. if yes, I think that the only option is to store the likes count in your website code, in a database or something.
