i am working on a facebook application , i need to send a message to user facebook friends , is that possible to send without opening the facebook send message dialog box, because when i use facebook SDK it uses its ui to preview , i also tried using direct url
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=658662621626&name=People%20Argue%20Just%20to%20Win&recipients[0]=466565&link=http://www.redbuffer.com&redirect_uri=http://www.example.net/FB-app/
is their any other method by which i will be able to send private message
to facebook friends
My initial thought is a resounding heck no. The reason? They would open themselves up to spamming if they allowed API's to directly send messages. Just a guess though.

Is there a way how I can send regular message to facebook page?
I got this:
https://github.com/Schmavery/facebook-chat-api
but it is unofficial.
When I've tried to send several messages sending account was blocked.
I have not found any info about limits or anything else connected to sending messages to Facebook pages.
In official Facebook documentation regarding messaging API there is nothing about sending message to Page. As bot is acting as Facebook Page itself I suppose it can't send message to another Facebook Page.
There is no API to send user to page messages, you can only send messages from page to user. And only if the receiver started the conversation first.
Don´t use unofficial ways, they are not allowed.
I am working on a business application which is using facebook and I need to send a private message to a connected user friend.
For getting all the user friends, I am using me/taggable_friends. In this way I have all the user friends but I can't retrieve the real friend user id. I need to know this field for sending a private message (or request or notification).
Regarding the FB documentation, this feature is only available for the "games" product but it's look like strange.
Maybe i'm doing something wrong but I don't understand how should I proceed.
Thank's for your answers.
taggable_friends can (and should) only be used for tagging friends, you don´t even get an ID with it, only a tagging token (see Facebook docs).
For sending private messages, the best (and only) way is to use the Send Dialog of the JavaScript SDK: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/send-dialog
The user has to input the target friend and the message on his own, which is a requirement for the message anyway. It always has to be 100% user generated.
The Chat API is deprecated and should not be used anymore: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat
On iOS, if you want to send a private message to another Facebook user, you should use the Message Dialog: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/share#message-dialog
This lets a user share a message with any of their FB friends, then return to your app. You can ensure the message contains a link which the recipients will be able to click on.
I use facebook SDK javascript to post a message from a website to my wall on facebook.
When I post, I can choose the users who can read my message.
Can I change the script to send a message directly to one or any users automatically?
To send a private message through facebook API is not intended behavior. to prevent spam it is assumed. This can be overcome by sending an email to facebook_username#facebook.com and it will appear as an instant message to the user. This is NOT an intended solution however and it is EXPRESSLY discouraged in the facebook docs.
I am new on Facebook API. I want to send message to friend with facebook api. I am developing a desktop application in c#. And I used graph.facebook.com but I can see just some information. I think that to login facebook system and after send message some id. I looked developers.facebook.com but I didnt find useful information. Maybe I looked in wrong way..
I need some advice about it (how to login and send message)
I followed function of messange sendin on google chrome and I saw send.php worked . But I want to use Facebook API
By design Facebook does not allow the API to send messages. You can post on the other users wall, or send them an email.
I've a situation in my application where I need to send apprequests (or any way of sending any request to my users) for both my facebook friends as well as the same application users.
The problem with this is ,
when we are sending apprequests using application itself(using app_access_token) we can't send app requests to my facebook friends who are not yet part of my application ("oAuthException : User must accept TOS" will be thrown).
So when i use the 'Request dialog' (FB.UI app request method) its possible to list/send requests to only FB friends .
So i need a solution for having a method where i can list all my user's FB friends and application users and send apprequest at once to all..
Anybody has tried something like this before?
And also i tried FB.UI (send method) and searched for graph API and also considered option of posting wall message and everything doesn't work both types..
Any help on this?
May I draw your attention to the following Facebook Documentation for AppRequests:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/
You need to have a look at the section headered "Frictionless requests".
From what I understand from this sentence:
Upon first sending a request to a friend from within an app, a user may authorize the app to send subsequent requests to the same friend without prompting for his permission.
It sounds like there is no way to "bulk" send to all of a user's friends, it is on a friend-by-friend basis. It sounds sensible to me, I wouldn't want my all of my Facebook friends to be flooded with invitations either.
You could however opt for prompting the user with the Friend Request interface which is much friendlier to your users... this is available using the Javascript SDK.
