I just discovered this API and as of today (3/2/2012) it allows you to read and create questions on behalf of the user. But is it possible to vote on behalf of the user yet? This seems to be the missing key piece of functionality. Am I missing something?
Same answer as here: How to register a user's vote on a poll? No you cannot do it via the API for good reason, otherwise you might get rogue applications voting on behalf of their registered users!!

I'm trying to add a webhook for tagged_places for users which authorized my app. It's possible?
I trying to use subscriptions as described here for checkins:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/webhooks/
But I wasn't receiving any POST request, just the GET request for make the subscription.
Does anyone have any ideia how do that?
I stumbled upon your question because I want to do pretty much the same thing. From what I have read so far it isn't possible, since the tagged_places field is not listed as a field which supports webhooks.
Facebook removed the /{user}/home api on October 6, 2015.
I'm wondering if anyone knows if there are any alternative methods to access news feed data.
I've worked with /{user}/feed but of course that only shows data for the currently logged in user.
I've tested with my wife to be sure and she can only she posts on her wall and I can only see posts on my wall and neither of us can see each others posts no matter what permissions are set on them.
I'd like to think that currently logged in user could access any data via the api that they could via the site (assuming they've granted the proper permissions of course.), but this doesn't appear to be the case.
Of course I am particularly interested in the news feed and I suspect that the there is no alternative but I don't want to give up yet.

No, that would be a privacy issue, because your app could access data/posts of users who did not even authorize your app and no one knows what you do with the data. So the answer is no, there is no alternative.
Okay, this is a rather specific question but I'll ask it here since I don't find any form on FB's website, this looks like it's the official place for FB support so here I am !
I am a part of a company which produces a unique web application for visually impaired people. Long story short, we take content from a bunch of websites and webservices and centralize everything in a single application, which is accessible, vocalized and controllable using the keyboard.
We would like to add a Facebook client to the application, using the Graph API. To make an acceptable client we would need "risky" permissions such as read_stream and manage_notifications, but I read that they are only granted for Facebook Clients written for a platform on which a FB client does not already exist.
So here is my question : do I have any chance to have any of these permissions granted, or am I wasting my time developing an app which will never be approved ? In order to submit the app for reviewing I must start to write it, and I wonder if it will be worth of my time.
Thanks :)
As WizKid stated, read_stream and manage_notifications are not granted to anyone but are kept in the documentation for legacy purposes.
Does Facebook Platform Policy allows to post messages and/or share links automatically?
My question is exactly same as a post below. However, I'm wondering if answers to the post are still effective because it seems that Platform Policy has been revised since then, and now we need to pass login review to be granted publishing permissions.
Facebook Policies: Can my application automatically post stories to my Facebook stream?
Autoposting is not allowed, was not allowed and will most likely never be. It would basically be spam.
Policy 2.1: Obtain consent from people before publishing content on
their behalf.
That means for every single post, of course.
I am using the new facebook comments module, and I am intersted in subscribing a user to a conversation via the API. I am referring to http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/Comment/ but this doesnt seem to have an API call for a user to subscribe to a conversation. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
The comment plugin has subscribe options for each item in the thread for the users. That would be the easiest for the user. Their currently isn't a documented API method for this. You could build something yourself manually, and while possible, it will have the problem that you won't be able to notify them very easily like Facebook allows with the red notification api (you would have to resort to emailing them or something similar). You would also need them to authenticate your application and prompt for various extended permissions.
