I'm developing a chrome extension for Facebook, what I want is to get the latest wall posts of a page using the extension. For e.g. If a user posts on a Facebook, I can get alert from my extension of the new posts (not all posts...only the new/latest posts uploaded by the user),
Can i do it using the Facebook api? Because I can get all posts using the api, but I want the latest/new post. Please help
Check out the Facebook Realtime Updates feature here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/realtime/
This feature will inform you when a user has new posts, rather than requiring you to constantly poll the Facebook API to check for new posts.

How can i get a feed with my friends posts or news that i see in my wall in fb?
You can’t.
That used to be available in the very beginning via the /home edge, but that has since been removed.
There is no replacement. Friend’s posts are only available to your app, if the friend would join your app and grant it permission to read their posts.
(Plus, platform policy says apps should not replicate Facebook “core functionality”. If a user wants their news feed, they can go to Facebook ...)
I have to fetch the count of post reached and video views of media(image, video or text) that is posted to the Facebook wall of a user.
I am using Facebook Graph API for this purpose.
On doing some research I found that facebook insights are used to fetch the posts reached and video views count. But this data can only be fetched if the media is posted to a page and not to a user's Facebook wall. I have gone through the link below to confirm this
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.3/insights
I even found a link wher we can get the insights of an app using the app_insights feature of Facebook as mentioned in the link:
App Insights /{app-id}/app_insights
Can I fetch the post reached and video view counts of a specific media that is posted to a user's FB account using the app-id/app_insights?
If not, is there any way to access the data for a post made in the Fb wall using Facebook Graph API?
Please suggest!!
There is no 'user insights' or equivalent feature in the API
There's Page Insights (via the /insights edge of a page or page post) or App Analytics via the app_insights edge on an App
I am trying to make an iOS app integrated with the Facebook SDK that allows the user to post directly to a facebook group page and receive updates directly from the group page through the app, as an alternative to the facebook app.
I know that the Facebook dialog class in the latest SDK allows us to share a status directly to one's wall but I have yet to find a way to post it to a page other than the user's wall. Is there a way to gain access to a facebook group page and retrieve the posts from the page and also post directly to it?
Facebook comments plugin - as far as I understand, if I have put the facebook comments plugin on a post web page, and the permalink of the post being commented on matches the base URL, then comments are stored via facebook using my post permalink.
Lets say if I post the permalink onto my facebook page wall (which I am the admin of), the open graph tags come into play, all the relavant data is pulled in, fb:admins, fb:app etc.
But is it possible to connect my facebook page (using my facebook page ID) to that permalink - so that comments posted on the page using comment plugin, connect/link with the post comments on my facebook page wall?
Thanks
This is currently not possible. We've implemented custom solution using Facebook Application and Facebook Javascript SDK on the website itself. You need to query the comments table of a specific Page post via FQL using your app access token from your server to retrieve all comments and render them on the page.
Then you need to provide user with several entry points for several states in order to enable posting for them. You need to solve four cases:
User doesn't like the page and didn't authorize your app
User doesn't like the page and authorized your app
User likes the page and didn't authorize your app
User likes the page and authorized your app
User needs to like your page and authorize your app with publish_stream permission in order to be able to comment on your page posts via your website. Of course you need to maintain reference between posts on your page and posts on your website.
The website where we did this a few years ago is BIGGBOSS click on "Komentáře" and find the same post on Facebook with the same comments.
As far as I understand your question its not possible to connect the comments from the commentbox, integrated in your non-facebook page (e.g a blog of yours), to the comments which are posted to a post on your fanpage.
The only solution would be to build an custom commentbox with the open-graph and publish the comments to the fanpagepost and additionally extract the comments out of the fanpage to display them on your blog.
But this requires accepting permission dialog before people are able to comment on your blog which would probably decrease the comments made. You would lose the benefit of the built-in commentbox.
I'm tring to send customized news to my users via Facebook.
I've tried posting private posts to their walls, so they show up on their news feed, but people got upset by the new posts on their wall (even though noone else can see them)
Is there a way to do this?
I considered building a page per user and suggest to the user to follow it - can this be done via API?
Can a user follow updates on just any page (non fan page) that he Liked, or that has a FB comments box?
Alternatively, can I programatically send Facebook notifications?
You can try creating a single Page for your app. Then when a user connects with your app, auto-follow that page so that all posts to that page show up in the user's feed.
Now just add new posts to that Page with privacy settings targetted at just that user.
Thats my off the cuff answer.
