I need get all photos shared by fans in my facebook page fan. I can do?
I try using api graph but I see only album shared by me.
https://graph.facebook.com/inpesca/albums/
You can use a filter to get at some specific types of posts on a wall:
https://graph.facebook.com/inpesca/feed?type=checkin
See "Searching" in the Graph API Reference.
However, you can not use type=photo to get photo posts. For whatever reason, the API doesn't support this (privacy reasons maybe; I don't know). However, each post on a feed has a type field, indicating the type of the post. You can use this to read the feed and filter posts that have type "photo":
// pseudocode
posts = graph.get("/inpesca/feed")
for post in posts:
if post.type == "photo":
// process photo post
else:
// ignore it
To get at the actual picture, access the picture field:
// psuedo code
url = post.picture // "https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/..."
If you look at the URL this points to, it most likely ends with _s.jpg. This is the "small" version of the picture. Replace it with _o and you will get the original version (as far as I can tell this is not documented, but seems to be how it works). You can manually download the photo with curl if you're on a Linux or Mac machine:
curl -O [url]
Or use your programming language's HTTP client library to download it.

I'm using Instagram Mentions API and was able to obtain FB media_id for couple Instagram posts.
I need media_id to get post content via /user/mentioned_media. Unfortunately that endpoint does not provide ig_id or shortcode or permalink which I need.
Is there a way to get Instagram Post URL with FB Graph API media_id?
It seems like you can get media metadata (and all comments/replies) when someone #-mentions you in a non-owned-media comment by using a query like below.
You would use your own instagram business account id for the first number (the path component), and you'd use the comment_id you received from the webhook comment-mention notification as the second number:
/12345678901234567890?fields=mentioned_comment.comment_id(9876543210987654321){id,text,username,timestamp,media{id,media_type,media_url,permalink,username,like_count,comments_count,comments{id,text,username,user{id,username},like_count,timestamp,replies{id,text,username,user{id,username},like_count,timestamp}}}}
Yes, there is a way you can get Instagram post URL associated with a media if you know the media id.
You can also get more information (all its fields and edges) on media. See the docs here
You can get the Instagram post URL by making a GET request to /{ig-media-id}
Sample Request:
GET https://graph.facebook.com/v15.0/{{media_id}}?fields=permalink, shortcode&access_token={{ACCESS_TOKEN}}
Sample Response:
{
"permalink": "https://www.instagram.com/p/Clxsi5Pol2_/",
"shortcode": "Clxsi5Pol2_",
"id": "17xxx59557977xxx"
}
The value of the permalink is the valid public URL for the post.
You can also use the shortcode returned to construct the URL by concatenating the shortcode to https://www.instagram.com/p/.
I am attempting to display the latest post from a public Facebook page on a website using the graph API.
Using the following URL, I am able to get the latest posts data:
https://graph.facebook.com/MYPAGENAME/posts?access_token=MYACCESSTOKEN
Which returns:
{
"data": [
{
"story": "MYPAGENAME added a new photo.",
"created_time": "2017-08-20T19:00:00+0000",
"id": "MYID"
}
...
The post in question displays on the Facebook page with a photo included, but there is not 'photo' object (or anything similar) returned in the API data. How do I access the picture URL for this post? Thanks in advance.
This request will fetch posts and the media information for the first image for each post.
/posts?fields=attachments{media}?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
Sometimes posts contain multiple images. If you'd like to support that you need to fetch the subattachments also:
/posts?fields=attachments{subattachments{media}}?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
Note that this method usually only provides image URLs that are up to 720px wide. If you want higher resolution imagery, you need to access data[0].attachments.data[0].subattachments.data[0].target.id to get the actual image ID which you can then use to perform an additional query /IMAGE_ID_HERE?fields=images to obtain the higher resolution image. Increment the numbers to get additional posts and images inside each post.
I am trying to access the live views count of a live video that is live through a Facebook Page. I am using the ID that I am obtaining from the API request {page-id}/videos/uploaded When I am using that video id and making a GET request of {video-id}?fields='live_views its showing error code of 100 with the message as:
(#100) Tried accessing nonexisting field (live_views) on node type (Video)
I have the following permissions:
'manage_pages', 'publish_pages', 'business_management', 'read_insights', 'user_videos'
I am making the GET request using user_access_token.
I am using Graph API Version 2.8.
Please let me know if I am using the wrong ID. IF yes, then how can i get the live_video_id of a live video posted in page?
To get the live views count of a video a fan page, you need:
An app created at facebook developer
A user access token (for testing, e.g. by calling https://developers.facebook.com/tools/accesstoken/)
The fan page id
With this you can call graph API in the following format:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/<fan_page_id>/live_videos?access_token=<access_token>?fields=live_views
Of course, you may add more elements in fields parameter if you need more information. Here Facebook's Graph API explorer helps: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
When you add status to fields parameter, "LIVE" means, it's currently live, "VOD" means it has already finished.
If you try to implement a WebHook for it, let me now if it works. Thanks.
To get live views you need to call the api with the live video id, which you get from calling, page id can initially be either the page-id or name
"https://graph.facebook.com/v10.0/${page_id}/live_videos?access_token=${access_token}
Sample response:
{
"title": "hello world 2",
"status": "LIVE",
"embed_html": "...,
"id": "123123" // this is the live video id
},
After you have retrieved the live video id you can call this endpoint to get the live_views edge
https://graph.facebook.com/v10.0/${live_id}fields=live_views&access_token=${access_token}
sample response:
{
"live_views": 1,
"id": "123123"
}
Docs for endpoint 1: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/live-video/
Docs for endpoint 2: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/live-video/reactions#Reading
However I understand the confusion since live_views is not listed under the second endpoint as a reaction nor even is it a reaction, so either it a mistake in facebook docs or a mistake in the graph API, either the solution provided works.
Yes you do need to go through an app review to get the permission for tracking streams
I recently made a fanpage and i have used embedded code from one of the post of my fanpage to my website.
So now It shows the post on my website and number of likes but i would like to show current existing comments which that particular post had got. Right now it is just displays the comment button and if i will click that then it will take me to the fanpage just for the sake of comment.
So heres what i need
1 - Comment on the embedded post without leaving the website to facebook.
2 - Displaying all the current existed comments ..
the image right now look like this
Thats very simple. First, you need to login user and ask for publish_stream permission. After the user is logged in, you just to display a button that triggers the function named comment, passing the ID (corresponding to the object user is going to comment to) .
You will also need an input field for inserting the comment (of course), and using jquery .value we will get the value of the input field .
PS: Specify NAME and ID on the message input field. I dont remember wich one is, put both of them .
After getting the variables, we will call FB.api, specifing the variables id and comentario than get the response for handling the result (if you want), you can try to reload the comment plugin, or refreshing the page .
function comment(id) {
var id = id;
var comentario = document.getElementById("message").value;
FB.api("/"+id+"/comments","POST",
{
"message": comentario
},
function (response) {
if (response && !response.error) {
alert('Comentado !');
} else {
alert('Erro !');
}
});
$("#atividade").html('COMENTADO');
}
That is very simple and fun, but you will need to get authorization from facebook platform to ask users for publish_stream permissions before production .
I think David's answer will just post a new comment, not show all post's comments.
Unfortunately there is not a option to show the comments on embed posts.
You need to get the post id, call a api to load all comments and so embed each one of them. Yeah, that's terrible...
Open the graph api explorer:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
Type {post-id}/comments on GET input and send it to see a response example.
And that's how you embed comments:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/embedded-comments
I don't think loading all comments from all posts will have a good performance. I suggest you to create a button "see comments" which call the api. After that you can create the input text for new comments, like David said.
I have a little problem, I don't know how to create the script (with PHP SDK) which check if is the user a fan of my page.
I successfly get the permission for user_likes, but I cant post data to array and after check it.
When I dump this code: $user_likes = $facebook->api('/me/likes'); I'll got all data, but I cant post them to array.
It's amazing what one can find on the internet these days if only he tries to Google his questions...
Here's the first result I got for "facebook is the user a fan":
http://www.masteringapi.com/tutorials/facebook-api-check-if-a-user-is-fan-of-a-facebook-page/20/
It discuss a few options, PHP and JavaScript, Graph API and REST API, just pick your favorite.
FB.api("me/likes/270801249647033", function(response) {
if ( response.data.length == 1 ) {
// Has liked
} else {
// Not liked
}});
Source and download script
From: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/pages.isFan/ (yes, this is deprecated, but it includes the new Graph API way to do things at the top of it. :) )
You can now issue a HTTP GET request to /USER_ID/likes/PAGE_ID (aka /me/likes/PAGE_ID ) to check if a user is a page of a fan.
