I am trying to parse the facebook api via someid/feed api using Facebook SDK C#. But I cannot parse the keys quite right. Does anyone have an example of how this should work?
dynamic fb = new FaceBookClient(token);
dynamic feed = fb.Get("123456/feed");
var msg = feed.message; // (do not get intellisense)
or
var msg = feed["message]; //(returns No data key found error.)
You need to pass also appId and appSecret to FaceBookClient.
So instead of picking up a constructor, do the settings in Web.Config:
<facebookSettings appId="123" appSecret="abc" siteUrl="..." canvasPage="..." canvasUrl=".." cancelUrlPath="..." />
then try:
FacebookWebClient fbWebClient = new FacebookWebClient();
dynamic result = fbWebClient.Get("123456/feed");
Feed returns a JSON Array wrapped in a result object. Get the result object by calling feed.First(), then loop through the JsonArray to get the individual posts.
const string url = "/me/feed";
IDictionary<string, object> feed = FacebookClient.Get(url, parameters);
JsonArray posts = feed.First().Value as dynamic;
return posts;
It is so simple as I see.
public dynamic GetFeeds()
{
dynamic feeds = facebookClientProvider.CreateOne().Get("/me/feed");
//feeds.data
//feeds.paging
return feeds;
}
The feeds.data will contain the feeds and the data.paging will contain a url where you can download the following feeds.
I'm using Facebook C#SDK Runtime version:v4.0.30319 and Version:6.0.10.0

what i am trying to achieve should be simple by theory but hell by implementation, if you think otherwise please help.
so what i am trying to achieve here is that I have my facebook page which I created a developer acount for it, and what i want is to take albums from the page to my website.
I am using the latest stable facebook sdk for .net 6.8.0, and i am assuming that the graph api is on v2.2.
this is the code i am using below to get the access token and access my albums
try
{
var fb = new FacebookClient();
dynamic result = fb.Get("oauth/access_token", new
{
client_id = "---my application number---",
client_secret = "---my application secret---",
grant_type = "client_credentials"
});
var fb2 = new FacebookClient(result.access_token);
dynamic albums = fb2.Get("my application number/albums");
foreach (dynamic albumInfo in albums)
{
try
{
dynamic albumsPhotos = fb2.GetTaskAsync(albumInfo.id + "/photos");
}
catch (Exception Exception)
{
throw Exception;
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw e;
}
The data returned in the dynamic albums variables is empty, the thing that confused me more is when i use facebook graph api explorer the call work fine and it return the albums. so what exactly i am missing.
I also read in some threads that you can access your albums without the secret password if they are public but that didn't work for me either i tried it in javascript but no joy.
Thank you in advance.
Since this is your page, it should be pretty easy to retrieve your own photos using Windows PowerShell and http://facebookpsmodule.codeplex.com Get-FBAlbums.
i want to get the facebook friend's list from my application, but returns me data: []... empty! :(
the scenario it's this:
C#
const string QueryToGetFbInfo = "me";
const string QueryToGetFbPhoto = "me?fields=picture.width(200).height(200)";
const string QueryToGetFriendList = "me/friends?fields=name,picture.width(100).height(100)";
private void btnFacebook_Tap(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
{
FacebookSessionClient fbSession = new FacebookSessionClient("FB_APP_ID");
fbSession.LoginWithApp("public_profile, user_friends, read_friendlists, email", "custom_state_string");
}
private async void tbnShowfriends_Tap(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
{
FacebookSession session = SessionStorage.Load();
FacebookClient client = new FacebookClient(session.AccessToken);
// Get Facebook FriendList
dynamic friends = await client.GetTaskAsync(QueryToGetFriendList);
//Get Facebook user info
dynamic result = await client.GetTaskAsync(QueryToGetFbInfo);
GraphUser user = new GraphUser(result);
//Get profile picture from facebook
dynamic result1 = await client.GetTaskAsync(QueryToGetFbPhoto);
JsonObject json = result1.picture.data;
var picture = (IDictionary<string, object>)json;
....
}
Facebook App Config has the permissions... forgot some ?.. the new panel confuses me a little, Maybe I forgot something in the application settings...
when i select Api Graph, returns me, a friendlist, fine!
but when I select my application, I do not return anything
What I forgot ?... how can i fix this problem ?
You authed Graph Explorer using API v1.0 which means that that app will get all your friends until 4/30/2014. You app you authed using v2.0 or v2.1 which means that you will only get friends that are also using the app
I am trying to update the bookmark count field with the SDK but have not had any success yet.
Can somebody tell me what classes I need to instantiate to do something similar to the following link:
http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/464
Note:
The link demonstrates how to set the bookmark count and delete it. I would like to be able to do the same with the SDK, any help would be appreciated.
To do this, first you need to get you app's access token:
private string GetAppAccessToken() {
var fbSettings = FacebookWebContext.Current.Settings;
var accessTokenUrl = String.Format("{0}oauth/access_token?client_id={1}&client_secret={2}&grant_type=client_credentials",
"https://graph.facebook.com/", fbSettings.AppId, fbSettings.AppSecret);
// the response is in the form: access_token=foo
var accessTokenKeyValue = HttpHelpers.HttpGetRequest(accessTokenUrl);
return accessTokenKeyValue.Split('=')[1];
}
A couple of things to note about the method above:
I'm using the .Net HttpWebRequest instead of the Facebook C# SDK to grab the app access_token because (as of version 5.011 RC1) the SDK throws a SerializationException. It seems that the SDK is expecting a JSON response from Facebook, but Facebook returns the access token in the form: access_token=some_value (which is not valid JSON).
HttpHelpers.HttpGetRequest simply uses .Net's HttpWebRequest. You can just as well use WebClient, but whatever you choose, you ultimately want to make this http request:
GET https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET&grant_type=client_credentials HTTP/1.1
Host: graph.facebook.com
Now that you have a method to retrieve the app access_token, you can generate an app request as follows (here I use the Facebook C# SDK):
public string GenerateAppRequest(string fbUserId) {
var appAccessToken = GetAppAccessToken();
var client = new FacebookClient(appAccessToken);
dynamic parameters = new ExpandoObject();
parameters.message = "Test: Action is required";
parameters.data = "Custom Data Here";
string id = client.Post(String.Format("{0}/apprequests", fbUserId), parameters);
return id;
}
Similarly, you can retrieve all of a user's app requests as follows:
Note: you probably don't want to return "dynamic", but I used it here for simplicity.
public dynamic GetAppRequests(string fbUserId) {
var appAccessToken = GetAppAccessToken();
var client = new FacebookClient(appAccessToken);
dynamic result = client.Get(String.Format("{0}/apprequests", fbUserId));
return result;
}
I hope this helps.
I have a site which is using facebook for auth. I want to gather some basic info when a user signs up including their email address.
The code i have for the login is standard:
public ActionResult Login(string returnUrl)
{
var oAuthClient = new FacebookOAuthClient();
oAuthClient.AppId = AppSettings.GetConfigurationString("appId");
oAuthClient.RedirectUri = new Uri(AppSettings.GetConfigurationString("redirectUrl"));
var loginUri = oAuthClient.GetLoginUrl(new Dictionary<string, object> { { "state", returnUrl } });
return Redirect(loginUri.AbsoluteUri);
}
How do i add the request to access permissions in that? Or do i do it another way?
You need to use the email permission (the full list is here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions/ )
The way to add permissions to the authorization is by appending a comma separated list to &scope= , e.g.:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URL&scope=email,read_stream
Update: As you marked, the parameters are passed to the GetLoginUrl() method, although in the codeplex forum they also used ExchangeCodeForAccessToken(), which you might want to take a look at also.
A couple of examples using the C# SDK:

Facebook .NET SDK: How to authenticate with ASP.NET MVC 2
http://facebooksdk.codeplex.com/discussions/244568
A snoop at the sdk code and i came up wiht:
public ActionResult Login(string returnUrl)
{
var oAuthClient = new FacebookOAuthClient();
oAuthClient.AppId = AppSettings.GetConfigurationString("appId");
oAuthClient.RedirectUri = new Uri(AppSettings.GetConfigurationString("redirectUrl"));
var parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>();
parameters["state"] = returnUrl;
parameters["scope"] = "email";
var loginUri = oAuthClient.GetLoginUrl(parameters);
return Redirect(loginUri.AbsoluteUri);
}
not tested it yet and the missus is shouting at me for working late so will have to test tomoz :)

return resul["id"].ToString();
}
I am using facebook graph apis with FacebookSdk from codeplex.
I am not able to post the venue with this code due to the open bug in facebook API. Other things work fine. I suggest you implement this venue parameters as well so that the functionality will work as soon as facebook resolves this issue.
Mark this as answer if it works for you.It will also help other people to save time on searching.
