I was successfully able to get the RSS feed of a page in FB using this URL.
https://facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=PAGE_ID_HERE&format=rss20
It returns values in RSS format. Then using regular NSXMLParser methods or some so parsing protocols, I was able to parse them.But unfortunately it returns all the details of the page, such as Events, notes and etc.
I would like to get the events only. It is stated here, we can achieve it using Graph API once we obtain the general access token. My question is, can't we simply get the RSS feed for events in facebook page like the URL above? Please advise. Thank you.
It looks like the FB API and all RESTful methods of accessing data from Facebook are being retired in favour of the Graph API and FQL, whichever you prefer.
The Graph API way is to parse the JSON returned by:
https://graph.facebook.com/PAGE_ID/events?access_token=TOKEN_HERE
After skim-reading the FQL docs, I can't find a way to do it using that. So, it looks like your best hope lies with the Graph API.
I would really like to know how to do this. We have a facebook page and have a livestream from this page on our website. Now we would like to have a list of events from the facebook page in the website as well. Is it posible at all?

I want to get a page's posts by facebook graphic api(2.8, without FQL),
I have page_id, so I write something like this on graphic api testing page:
{post-id}/feed?limit=100
I know facebook only allow we get 100 posts,
is there any other way to get maybe number 101~200 posts?
or setting a keywords parameters like
{post-id}/feed?limit=100&keywords=apple
or setting a date duration parameter like
{post-id}/feed?limit=100&date=20160101_20161231
I only use graphic api testing page, so if it don't have to write any other codes, it will be very nice.
Thanks
You can limit your result with until and since like this
me?fields=feed.since(2016-12-20).until(2016-12-25).limit(4)
Many people have described how to obtain the RSS data feed for a Facebook page.
For example: http://ahrengot.com/tutorials/facebook-rss-feed/
The following URL provides the feed for Coca-Cola's page:
http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=40796308305
However, I cannot seem to find any documentation on facebook.com that describes this interface. Does anyone know if this interface is officially supported by Facebook? I don't want to reference it in my code only to have it dropped unexpectedly by Facebook.
I know I could use the Graph API 'posts' method of the 'page' object to obtain similar data, but that requires SSL and an access token, which I would like to avoid if possible.
Facebook have changed its implementation to get facebook page RSS Feed
Following steps to get Facebook RSS Feed
Create facebook App link
From the above App you will get client_id and client_secret and then call this url
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=client_id_value&client_secret=client_secret_value&grant_type=client_credentials
Replace client_id_value and client_secret_value with its actual value
From the above url, you will get assess token, Pass this token in below url to get page RSS Feed
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.2/1242433444/feed?access_token=access_token_value
here 1242433444 is facebook page id
Seems like Facebook prefers JSON over RSS. They support both formats to date, but JSON will likely outlive RSS. I've created some code samples for how to parse the JSON feed with PHP if you're interested:
http://liljosh.com/facebook-page-json-rss-feed/
No access token is required if the page is published (step one in the link above).
You shouldn't rely on the RSS feed feature.
Your best approach for machine readable data is to query the statuses connection, eg https://graph.facebook.com/facebook/statuses?access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>.
You can then parse the JSON and output it as RSS.
I am building a website for a client. He has a Facebook page for his business. On the homepage of his site, he wants a feed that will pull in all the updates from his business' Facebook page.
Now, I felt this would be very easy to implement (maybe it is) but I have scoured the Facebook API for any simple way to do this. I am having a lot of trouble understanding which way I should do this. I've settled on using JS to access it, but have no idea where to go from there.
Do I need to create an app? If so, which options do I select so I can access the clients facebook page?
How do I get my app that I've created to show up so a user can authorize it? I have so many questions, and Facebook isn't very good at giving me answers.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I would suggest you just use the facebook page's RSS feed.
Example
Take his page URL e.g.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lazery-Attack/6001014870
Take the number at the end of the url off, and plug it into the facebook feeds URL e.g.
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=6001014870
Voila, you now have an RSS feed you can integrate into the website you are building.
URL Breakdown
The URL is broken down the following way:
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format={feedFormat}&id={PageID}
Vaid feed formats are:
RSS - rss20
Atom - atom10
JSON - json
Other Examples
Atom
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=6001014870
JSON
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=json&id=6001014870
Take a look at the facebook API, right here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/
You can give it a try here:
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=19292868552%2Fposts
The like box: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ also has the latest posts available
The simplest way is to add a Like Button to the page and make sure "show Stream" is checked on as this will show all recent posts. You can customise the appearance also (e.g. width, height etc).
No App or messy API calls needed!
Try it out here and simply paste the resulting code into your webpage:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
Not an app, but the Facebook Social Plugins over here at Facebook For Pages
I am trying to achieve similar functionality to the one shown here...http://blackmilkclothing.com/collections/leggings/products/circuit-board-grey-leggings
there fan page https://www.facebook.com/blackmilkclothing allows people to hash tag a photo and then populate it on their website like the link above.
Loading a series of tagged images from my facebook fan page to my website. I am not positive how this is acheived? I am assuming some kind of api process but any help in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks! All help is appreciated
See the 'tagged' connection of a Page in the Graph API: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/
It returns a list of objects the page is tagged in, including photos
If you need background knowledge I suggest these links in particular:
Graph API overview: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/
Page login: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/pages/
After a good bit of trial and error I've found the most efficient way to query photos tagged to a particular Facebook page is to use Facebook's FQL interface to retrieve a list of stream posts.
With FQL you can limit the queried objects to only those posts containing images (unlike with the higher-level Graph API calls which will return all posts, many of which may not have associated photos), and you'll also have more granular control over composition of the result set.
Keep in mind that Facebook doesn't have true hashtag support (only Facebook pages can be tagged), so to simulate the hashtag support that Black Milk Clothing encourages, you'll need to parse and filter the photo message text yourself.
As an alternative quick and easy solution, I've rolled the results of my efforts into a free online service called TagTray -- with TagTray I've added an interface for building and curating hashtag based galleries from Facebook, Instagram, and TwitPic (including application-level Facebook hashtag filtering) that can be framelessly embedded into a site with a few lines of JavaScript.
I'm experimenting with the Graph API, specifically the News Feed query (me/home). And right off the bat, I can see that the JSON returned does not match what I see on my own facebook page. The API returns some objects that are not on the page, and vice versa. I can't figure out what's going on here. I don't think it's about people I've unsubscribed from or anything like that.
Is this expected behavior, or am I doing something wrong? Is there documentation somewhere that explains what the difference is?
edit 22-Nov-11: this is never going to be answered, is it.
NewsFeed via api ordered by time but on facebook.com ordered by top stories
Open your recent news feed > https://www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr
you will find that it's the same as api (y)
