Is it possible to scrape the pictures and titles of an album of a facebook group? Any ideas or know a good tutorial to get going with this?
It does not look like this is possible using the API.
You should be able to make a call to /GROUP_ID/albums to get the album_id in the Graph API explorer then make a call to /ALBUM_ID to get the photos.
Both of these calls to groups I admin result in OAuth Errors: "(#3) App must be on whitelist"
Whitelisting apps appears to only be possible by a Facebook employee.
You could try manually scraping the album URL as though you were a browser, but this is not supported and could get you and your group banned.

I am working on an application,which allows the user to share his promos(promos are daily deals) to all social media in a single click.That is I want to connect his FB,twitter and Linkedin accounts and authorize once and later he can share it to his FB,twitter,linkkedin with a single share button and a message fiels to add custom messg.
Tried to find something online but there are only individual plugins which are mostly for login and not for connect.These sites hootsuite and buffer app have this feature but they dont provide it for third party apps.
Can anyone point to a library that has this feature to connect all the social media and then post to the user wall?
you can use shareholic api to share content across all social media.

There is no library, you have to program that on your own by using all the APIs of those Social Networks - which is what Hootsuite does. That´s why you have to authorize the Hootsuite App to make this work.

I'm setting up a free Wifi hotspot that guests can use. I would like them to have to 'Like' the company's Facebook page to get Wifi access. Facebook DOES provide "Check in to use Wifi", but since we are not a shop/restaurant etc. I would like for the user to "like" the page instead. I know that this question has been asked on SO a couple of times, but there seems to be no solution yet. I know there are companies that provide this service for really high charges, so it is possible, but since I'm a web dev, I would like to do it myself! Any help is greatly appreciated!
This "like-gating" via the SignedRequest functionality will stop working on November 6th 2014, as stated in the official docs at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_1_90_day_deprecations
The 'liked' property will no longer be returned in the 'signed_request' object for Page Tab apps created after today. From November 5, 2014 onwards, the 'liked' property will always return 'true' regardless of whether or not the person has liked the page.

In my page, I have one Facebook "share" button to share the URL. Then after the URL shared and showed up in my friend's newsfeed, I don't know how many time the link got re-shared. Is there any API to read that re-share information?
Thanks.
You can use the FQL table link_stat to query for that data, something like:
SELECT
url, share_count
FROM
link_stat
WHERE
url="SHARED_URL"
Here's an example with the official south park page.
There are more stats that you can get from that table, so be sure to read the docs.

I am trying to get music.listens for a user and a user's friends using FQL.
Does anyone know what is the FQL query for getting music.listens?
Thanks!
You cannot currently query for Open Graph actions using FQL
You need to use the Graph API. You'll need the user_actions.music and/or friends_actions.music permissions, then you'll be able to GET:
https://graph.facebook.com/UID/music.listens?access_token=TOKEN
it's possible to query via FQL in this style:
/fql?q=SELECT id FROM open_graph_action WHERE id = XXXXX
or:
fql?q=SELECT id, objects, tags, type, app_id, place, end_time, publish_time FROM open_graph_action WHERE id = XXXXX
That's all I know so far, no docs yet.

I'm working on a new app and would love to have the following feature. If the user is in Apple's Mail, s/he can have the option to open my app.
EDIT: The comments have pointed me to this question, which is perfect for handling attachments, which I also want to do, but I also want the user to be able to copy some text, a date or an e-mail address, and then open my app with that information in tow.
Is there an API set up whereby I can do this?
Thanks!
You can create a custom URL scheme for your app, something like app://path - this is how Facebook handles things, they have URLs like fb://profile/12345.
