Is there a way to retrieve language-specific name for a user, using Graph API?
I am finding answer of this question. And finally, I got a solution for this.
step 1. First, request below api
/v2.4/me?fields=id,name,locale
then, you received locale information of the user.
step 2. Now, request below api
/v2.4/me?fields=id,name?locale="locale received in step 1"
If you use android facebook sdk like me, then write code like below.
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("fields", "id,name,locale");
//bundle.putString("locale", "ko_KR");
new GraphRequest(
AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(),
"/me",
bundle,
HttpMethod.GET,
new GraphRequest.Callback() {
public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
Log.d(TAG, "response -> " + response.getRawResponse());
}
}
).executeAsync();
"me" can be converted into "". I tested in the graph api(v2.4). Thank you!
Not sure if that’s what you mean, but there’s a field called "name_format" in the FQL user table:
name_format : string : The user's name formatted to correctly handle Chinese, Japanese, Korean ordering.
Edit: No, sorry, I’m just realizing this only gives you something like "name_format": "{first} {last}", so that first and last name can be printed out in the right order.

So basically I have a QR code generator in the app, I already implemented a feature generating it with url, such as domain.com/userid?=111.
So, now I want QR code scanner to scan it and get only the id part of the user out of it, like it scanned the url example provided above, and then I just want to get '111' part to process.
How can I implement it?
Use Uri queryParametersAll:
Uri url = Uri.parse('https://www.example.com/?userid=111');
print(url.queryParametersAll['userid'][0]);
You can use substring method to get the part of it.
// Dart 2.6.1
main() {
String str = "domain.com/userid?=111";
print(str.substring(str.indexOf("=")+1));
}
I am trying to get a preview link for the useres recent documents over MS Graph. Unfortunately the link the endpoint returns does not work.
To get the informations about a file I first call GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/drive/recent. Then I copy the driveID and the id of a document from the parentReference property.
To get the preview link I use the Endpoint POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/drives/<DriveID>/items/<DocumentID>/preview
and this works fine. But when I click on the link I get the error "This item might not exist or is no longer avaiable". The document exists on the SharePoint, otherwise it would not appear under "recent documents". The url looks like this: https://www.onedrive.com/embed?webUrl=xyz.sharepoint.com/sites/nameOfTheSite/docLibName&id=sites/nameOfTheSite/DocLibName&embed=xxx&authToken=xxx
I expect the response of the /preview endpoint should return a working url. Do I have to make some configurations on O365?
Many Thanks
The embed link (preview) does not look valid in your example since id parameter refers to container (library): sites/nameOfTheSite/DocLibName. It is not supported, instead embed link should refer to a file
Most likely the issue is due to itemId:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/drives/<DriveID>/items/<DocumentID>/preview
^^^^^^^^^^^^
in your example it seems refers to a library instead of a file. Make sure the proper itemId is specified.
For example, https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/recent endpoint returns the following payload:
{
"value" : {
//another properties are omitted for a clarity
//...
"remoteItem": {
"id": "01ECKZLCWSR7F76B64KZFL7I3QGZVPJELU"
//...
"parentReference": {
"driveId": "b!79yKq-2MdkSDnQ7_1Pf3FOkRyDCajpRIvqtA7UrsEO-vu3D_qkpaT50Y6CMcSmFv",
"driveType": "documentLibrary",
"id": "01ECKZLCV6Y2GOVW7725BZO354PWSELRRZ"
},
}
}
}
where
remoteItem.Id - corresponds to item id for a file
remoteItem.parentReference.driveId - corresponds to drive id
Dont get confused with remoteItem.parentReference.Id which corresponds
to item id of library
Does anyone have a definitive way to post to a user's wall, using nothing but the .NET Framework, or Silverlight?
Problems deriving from people's attempts have been asked here on SO, but I cannot find a full, clear explanation of the Graph API spec and a simple example using WebClient or some similar class from System.Net.
Do I have to send all feed item properties as parameters in the query string? Can I construct a JSON object to represent the feed item and send that (with the access token as the only parameter)?
I expect its no more than a 5 line code snippet, else, point me at the spec in the FB docs.
Thanks for your help,
Luke
This is taken from how we post to a user's wall. We place the data for the post in the request body (I think we found this to be more reliable than including all the parameters in the query part of the request), it has the same format as a URL encoded query string.
I agree that the documentation is rather poor at explaining how to interact with a lot of resources. Typically I look at the documentation for information on fields and connections, then work with the Graph API Explorer to understand how the request needs to be constructed. Once I've got that down it's pretty easy to implement in C# or whatever. The only SDK I use is Facebook's Javascript SDK. I've found the others (especially 3rd party) are more complicated, buggy, or broken than rolling my own.
private void PostStatus (string accessToken, string userId)
{
UriBuilder address = new UriBuilder ();
address.Scheme = "https";
address.Host = "graph.facebook.com";
address.Path = userId + "/feed";
address.Query = "access_token=" + accessToken;
StringBuilder data = new StringBuilder ();
data.Append ("caption=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncodeUnicode ("Set by app to describe the app."));
data.Append ("&link=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncodeUnicode ("http://example.com/some_resource_to_go_to_when_clicked"));
data.Append ("&description=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncodeUnicode ("Message set by user."));
data.Append ("&name=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncodeUnicode ("App. name"));
data.Append ("&picture=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncodeUnicode ("http://example.com/image.jpg"));
WebClient client = new WebClient ();
string response = client.UploadString (address.ToString (), data.ToString ());
}
I don't know much about .net or silverlight, but the facebook api works with simple http requests.
All the different sdks (with the exception of the javascript one) are mainly just wrappers for the http requests with the "feature" of adding the access token to all requests.
Not in all requests the parameters are sent as querystring, in some POST requests you need to send them in the request body (application/x-www-form-urlencoded), and you can not send the data as json.
If the C# sdk is not to your liking, you can simply create one for your exact needs.
As I wrote, you just need to wrap the requests, and you can of course have a method that will get a json as parameter and will break it to the different parameters to be sent along with the request.
I would point you to the facebook documentation but you haven't asked anything specific so there's nothing to point you to except for the landing page.
I'm getting facebook data using graph api, adding fields in string and get JSON result.
Example:
https://graph.facebook.com/me?fields=music
But JSON returned contains a "paging" key and I do not I want this key.
{ "music":{
"data":[
{
"name":"",
"category":"",
"id":"",
"created_time":""
},
{
"name":"",
"category":"",
"id":"",
"created_time":""
}
],
"paging":{
"next":"https://graph.facebook.com/me?fields=music&method=GET&metadata=true&format=json&callback=___GraphExplorerAsyncCallback___&access_token=...&limit=5000&offset=5000&__after_id=..."
}}}
EDITED:
I'm using Java API (restfb.com) to get JSON.
The command in java is:
FacebookClient client = new DefaultFacebookClient("ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE");
JsonObject rMusic = client.fetchObject("ID_HERE", JsonObject.class, Parameter.with("fields", "id,name,religion,birthday,music"));
How do I avoid it or remove it?
When you have your Javascript object built from the JSON, just pay attention to the array of data: result.music.data
And forget about the paging property: result.music.paging
Remember, there's no law in coding that you have to look at every property in your scripts.
Based upon the edit to the question above, here's a new answer.
The Rest API is deprecated. You should upgrade your app to use the Graph API as this is the one being supported.
Also, if you see a property you don't like, you don't have to access it. Remember, there's no law in coding that you have to look at every property in your scripts.
I'm able to return a location's details by sending a query via the graph api with the location's ID, however I'm looking to achieve the reverse - effectively find location id by sending a request containing the location name (city, state etc). Is this possible?
This is possible under a few different approaches. You can either search using long / lat positions and put the place name into the query. This search will search places only.
Do the following
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=ritual&type=place¢er=37.76,-122.427&distance=1000&access_token=mytoken.
This will return ritual coffee.
Another way is to search through facebook pages using the following
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=ritual%20coffee&type=page&access_token=mytoken
This way is more difficult as you will obviously need to parse the list in more detail.
You also can use the place sdk from facebook:
compile group: 'com.facebook.android', name: 'facebook-places', version: '4.30.0' // For latest version, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/
and then:
PlaceSearchRequestParams.Builder builder = new PlaceSearchRequestParams.Builder();
builder.setSearchText("Cafe");
builder.setDistance(1000); // 1,000 meter maximum distance.
builder.setLimit(10);
builder.addField(PlaceFields.ID);
GraphRequest request = PlaceManager.newPlaceSearchRequestForLocation(builder.build());
request.setCallback(new GraphRequest.Callback() {
#Override
public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
// Handle the response. The returned ID in JSON is the placeId.
}
request.executeAsync();
If I understand your question correctly you can use fql:
https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=QUERY
where query should be something like this:
select page_id from place where name = ;
Here is a page for your refrence:
