I'm writting application for facebook using canvas using facebook php api.
My problem: is it possible (and if yes - how) to get from api list of users i (or user who gave me permision using AccessToken) invited to an event?
When i list event_members table using FQL i dont get inviter nor inviter_type informations...
SELECT inviter,inviter_type,rsvp_status,uid FROM event_member WHERE eid = someeventid
That query ends with those fields empty - and from what i read thats expected behaviour becouse its private date - who invited who.

How to get the general information listed on the home page?
Facebook makes a request to
https://www.facebook.com/ajax/pagelet/generic.php/LitestandMoreStoriesPagelet?
with params:
ajaxpipe
ajaxpipe_token
no_script_path
data
__user
__a 1
__dyn
__req
__rev
__adt
And although it returns a json (inside a script with conditions...) is not a clean answer.
Is there another way to get that data? I do not want to use the sdk.
If you want the 'News feed', you'll want to use the /user/home/ API endpoint:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.1/user/home
e.g. https://graph.facebook.com/me/home?access_token=VALID_ACCESS_TOKEN will just grab your own News Feed.
You can also filter by any of the 'filter_key' values returned from the FQL query (use the Graph API Explorer and API version 2.0):
SELECT filter_key, name, type, value FROM stream_filter WHERE uid = me()
e.g. adding the query string filter=app_2305272732 will return a feed of things from the 'Photos' app (i.e. photos added to Facebook by your friends)
I've been trying to query what people have posted on my wall as a quick metric of closeness. I've tried both FQL and the Graph API to make these queries without a problem...
FQL:
SELECT actor_id FROM stream WHERE source_id = me() AND message != "" LIMIT 50
Graph:
FB.api('/me/feed?fields=from&limit=50', function(feedresponse) { //do stuff });
Testing these in the Graph Explorer when the application is set to "Graph API Explorer" returns the values I want - my own and other's posts on my wall.
However when the application is changed to my own application, "Fingerprint", the values include my likes, my recent friendship notifications, etc... information I don't want returned and that completely pollutes the query.
I've still gotten the correct results by passing the Graph API Access Token like so:
var access_token = "CAACEdEose0cBALLruchzIKJ1ewgvcjpPJmo1amJwbMHGYyuk544om8hDILt0ZBXiUAriiNI7VY2g1OOwlEgV4bVyCWZACOf2djD1rYBTIwxBnmseNHUm6qybvus23F4AShctQl3wu0rpPS5ZBh68ypVoDMgyyXEGnu6uXBbzOJ7Tx43m2xHsseo1oiU7A80oelxphhidgZDZD";
FB.api('/me/feed?fields=from&limit=50', { access_token : access_token}, ...
Though it works - it definitely doesn't seem like the right way. Can anyone explain why the results are different and how I can get my feed without the other bullshit FB sends me when I'm using the User Access Token with my App.
This should be an easy one. All I want it the user's profile url.
I've tried the following FQL:
SELECT profile_url FROM standard_user_info WHERE uid = me()
but get the Request Failed error. I'm using the Graph API Explorer / FQL Query and have the latest Access Token.
Basically I'm looking for the FQL equivalent to this Graph API call:
https://graph.facebook.com/me?fields=link
Thanks for the help
If you read the documentation properly, you'll notice that-
standard_user_info requires the APP_ACCESS_TOKEN, instead of USER_ACCESS_TOKEN. You can get the App Access Token from the Access Token Tool, for the testing.
You can get the information about the authorized app users only.
So, you can test it like this-
SELECT profile_url FROM standard_user_info WHERE uid = USER_ID
Note: Don't use me() (since you are using the app access token now which didn't recognize me()), instead use you ID)
Is there a way to retrieve the list of Facebook users that have clicked the like button on an external website?
E.g. there is a domain example.com which has been confirmed via Facebook Insights to belong to fbUser1 (using OG meta tags).
Somewhere on example.com there is a page with multiple XFBL like buttons, each one pointing to a further specific URL on example.com, e.g. example.com/xyz, example.com/abc etc.
What I'd like to get is the list of users that liked example.com/xyz and of those who liked example.com/abc.
My intuitive approach would be to look at graph.facebook.com/123456789/likes (where the number is the ID of the domain taken from FB insights), but this always returns an empty dataset:
{
"data": [
]
}
I've also tried getting an OAuth access token from https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?type=client_cred&client_id=APPID&client_secret=APPSECRET (where APPID and APPSECRET are taken from a FB application that is marked as owning the domain using OG meta tags), but that makes no difference.
I'd also be interested in a non-OpenGraph (i.e. JS SDK, FQL etc.) solution.
EDIT: Using the following code (according to WideBlade's answer below) still gives me an empty list of likes (the second query never returns):
var objectsQuery = "select id from object_url where url in ('http://example.com/xyz', 'http://example.com/abc', 'http://example.com/123')";
var likesQuery = "select object_id from like where object_id = {0}";
FB.Data.query(objectsQuery).wait(function (objectRows) {
console.log(objectRows);
FB.Array.forEach(objectRows, function (objectRow) {
FB.Data.query(likesQuery, objectRow.object_id).wait(function (likeRows) {
console.log(likeRows);
})
});
});
FQL Should do the trick.
$facebook->api_client->fql_query('SELECT user_id FROM like WHERE object_id="OBJECTID"');
Here is the link.
Some general info about FQL.
FQL is initiated using the JavaScript SDK, in this way.
If you can post some sample code-I can try and give some more specific help.
A note should be made-once you've got the user ID's, you can just query the names and get them in a list.
EDIT: To get the URL of an object you should query this table using fql.
This cannot be done. Facebook does not allow you to query for specific user ID's of people who have liked a certain page. This is because of privacy concerns.
See the disclaimer on this page https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/like/
Using Facebook's Graph API, given a username xyz (assuming they've authenticated my site), how do I get a list of all of the facebook pages that the user administers?
The accounts property on the user object says:
The Facebook pages owned by the current user. If the manage_pages permission has been granted, this connection also yields access_tokens that can be used to query the Graph API on behalf of the page.
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user
After getting access token you can get all details of list of all of the facebook pages that the user administers.
https://graph.facebook.com/[FACEBOOKUSERID]?metadata=1&access_token=
The output will look like
{
"name": "Facebook Developer Garage Austin - SXSW Edition",
"metadata": {
"connections": {
"feed": "http://graph.facebook.com/331218348435/feed",
"picture": "https://graph.facebook.com/331218348435/picture",
"invited": "https://graph.facebook.com/331218348435/invited",
"attending": "https://graph.facebook.com/331218348435/attending",
"maybe": "https://graph.facebook.com/331218348435/maybe",
"noreply": "https://graph.facebook.com/331218348435/noreply",
"declined": "https://graph.facebook.com/331218348435/declined"
}
}
}
Use an fql query! That is the best way to get the pages for which the user is admin. You will also be able to restrict the names also. i.e pages with empty names A sample fql query which gives you the page details as well.
SELECT page_id,page_url,name,pic_square FROM page WHERE page_id IN (SELECT page_id FROM page_admin WHERE uid = " + **UserId** + ") and name!=''
UserId -- Id of the admin
NOTE
This method will not work from version 2.1 of graph api as fql was deprecated from that version onwards
I found the answer, you need to use FQL, passing in the appropriate access_token:
https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=SELECT%20page_id%20FROM%20page_admin%20WHERE%20uid=XXXX&access_token=YYYY
Here's what I use. It works perfect
$pages = $facebook->api(array('method' => 'fql.query','query' => 'SELECT page_id FROM page_admin WHERE uid = '.$uid.''));
foreach($pages as $k=>$v) {
echo 'page id#:'.$v['page_id'].'<br/>';
}
This is of course after you have the session created for the fb user! The $uid would be the profile id# of the specific facebook user your returning of a list of managed pages for.
#rmorrison - This is not graph API though. With the new "like" addition, you can use this URL: h ttps://graph.facebook.com/me/likes?access_token=blah! or h ttps://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/likes?access_token=blah!
Fql is the best way to get the pages of the user for which he is the admin. As the others like likes of user will give all the pages that the user like.
You can get list of pages from a simple Facebook Graph API Hit.
https://graph.facebook.com/{user-id}/accounts?access_token={access-token}
It will give a list of pages for user which he/she has created.
access_token is valid for an hour or less. What should someone do in order to get the details even after. I was trying to result get the result from
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/search?q=coffee&type=place¢er=37.76,-122.427&distance=1000&access_token=xyz
This worked for an hour or so but how do i get the result after an hour...without going for a login.
