how to get facebook post after a graph search? - facebook

Question

https://graph.facebook.com/search?access_token=xxxxxx&q=hello&type=post&fields=from,message,picture,link,name,caption,description,created_time&limit=1&locale=en_US&scope=publish_stream,offline_access,user_status,read_stream
After such a graph search, I get some data like:
{
"data": [
{
"from": {
"name": "Eric Fluegge",
"id": "100000626293694"
},
"message": "Well, here's go nothing. Hello Tennessee.",
"created_time": "2013-03-30T19:23:44+0000",
"id": "100000626293694_567340783296793"
}
],
"paging": {
"previous": "https://graph.facebook.com/search?fields=from,message,picture,link,name,caption,description,created_time&q=hello&limit=1&type=post&locale=en_US&access_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&since=1364671424&__previous=1",
"next": "https://graph.facebook.com/search?fields=from,message,picture,link,name,caption,description,created_time&q=hello&limit=1&type=post&locale=en_US&access_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&until=1364671423"
}
}
so, is "id": "100000626293694_567340783296793" a post id? If so, how to use this post id, query again, get only this certain post information? I would like to store post id to mysql table, then I want to query the post anytime in the future, thanks.
EIDT: in app setting, i have set the publish_stream,offline_access,user_status,read_stream
EIDT2:
I have tried into Graph API Explorer, choose read_stream and generate a long live token.
SELECT post_id, actor_id, message, type, attachment FROM stream WHERE post_id = "100000626293694_567340783296793"
the result still empty. so I cannot get a post bcause i am not a friend of the post auther? or 100000626293694_567340783296793 is not a post id? or other reason?

Yep, the "id": "100000626293694_567340783296793" is a post ID, you can query its data again with the following URL: http://graph.facebook.com/100000626293694_567340783296793
Attention!
You should ask for the read_stream permission/scope too! Or else you'll get the following error:
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request.",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100
}
}
And of course, append the access_token to your GET url. (and don't forget https too)
