Is there anyway to get all of facebook's indexed content to use on my own site (through their API maybe)? Instead of having users type in their own favorite movies, they'd pick from a suggestion list basically.
You might try the search API. It should let you pass partial names and filter by categories so you can generate a list for your autocomplete field.
No, there's no way. Also, actually dont have a list. They create a page/link for any movie, place, song you update :)

I'm getting this error when sending some place_topics on an update request to the Facebook Graph API for a given Facebook Location Page.
{"error"=>{"message"=>"(#371) Some subcategories don't represent a place.", "type"=>"OAuthException", "code"=>371, "error_subcode"=>1721087, "fbtrace_id"=>"CIewiBZL+jf"}}
It is fixed by changing the category_id for another one. BTW, I would like to know if is there a way of knowing which categories are allowed and which ones doesn't. It would be nice to know it in advance to disallow some of the Facebook Categories in the editing process of our tool and avoid errors.
Thanks,
David.
Use search?type=placetopic&topic_filter=all in graph explorer to get list of valid place topics
I want to retrieve a list of upcoming public events in my hometown from the Facebook Graph API.
I already know that FQL is deprecated and that I can query by keywords using a statement similar to
/v2.2/search?type=event&q=Berlin&since=2015-01-27
However, this list is not enough because there are lots of events which do not contain the City Name either in the event title, description or Location name.
On the other hand I can retrieve a list of places within the same City by using
/v2.2/search?type=place&since=2015-01-27¢er=52.52,13.41&distance=10000
In my assumption I could retrieve a better event list if I create a query stating "give me all public events (eid) of all given places within this city in a specified distance".
Does anybody know if this is somehow possible to query?
I am unsure if batch processing is the right way to go, or if there is another possibility to Combine These two entities. My simple Approach would be to query each given Place again by requesting
/v2.2/{placeid}/events
but I also know that Facebook has a rate Limit of 50 requests in this case.
Right now Facebook doesn't have a way to do what you want or at least not documented.
The only way I think you could it is:
1- Find with the facebook API the pages in one city. (You can do do this manually or search for places near the city and then use the places that also ara pages)
2- Get the events of the pages (if exists) and save this in a db also with the location of the place/page.
3- Show all the events of the city.
Hi and thanks in advance.
I am currently working with the Facebook API, and I want to incorporate the search feature in my system, but the only problem is that I would like to do a search with one or more keywords for one or more type of object.
In other words not only search for posts but also, I would like to be able to search for posts, users and probably even events.
I have tried to put the parameter type like following type='post,user' but it doesn't return anything, the result is empty.
Is there a way to do it? The Facebook API manual doesn't say much about the search.
I need to be able to post with targets set (country, language, city and region) on a page (not for Ads), but can't seem to find a way to make sure the values I pass to Facebook actually mean something to Facebook, is there an API method to get supported elements?
Or is it so (unable to verify this) that these values take free-text, and somehow, facebook admins take care of it?
Apparently there is:
countries:
http://graph.facebook.com/search?type=adcountry
languages:
https://www.facebook.com/translations/FacebookLocales.xml
My client need to randomize over everyone that shared a specific note on his facebook page, it's like a raffle, however, i didn't found a way to get any info, even the name in a way that i can randomize over them, is there any way that i can fetch this information?
You can query the note for the comments or likes if you are looking at a specific note. Or you can query the user for all their notes and loop over that.
Depending on what language you are using, randomly choosing from an array of items should be trivial.
