Is it possible to build a new Facebook page via the api?
I can't find any documentation regarding this. I presume it would just be a matter of passing in an email address and password to register then passing in any profile info/data.
I'm not particularly looking for a how-to-guide just would like to know if it's possible and for someone to point in the right direction.
Thanks
Unfortunately, you can't create pages with any of the Facebook APIs. You can only do this through the user interface on facebook.com.

I was wondering if its possible to get one's facebook profile (to be exact,'profile url') through their API?
I need an api to get fb profile link using a matching email address. I dont want to login to facebook though.I was trying to search for this but it seems you need to log in to facebook to get that.
Any idea or is it feasible?
You need ID of the concerned user which can't be achieved without using the Facebook Login, since Facebook login is the starting point to get the current user info (/me).
Search API could have helped you since you have the email ids of users, but unfortunately this api doesn't support user search with email!
So, answer is simple- NO, you cannot get the ID (profile link) of the user without using the facebook login.
Not that I can think of. Facebook's Graph API gives you some public info but that info given depends on the users Facebook's settings on what is public or not. You could maybe get some users profile picture but not others, making it not a very viable option for practical use. Hope that helps
I have a Classic ASP message board (http://yankeedesi.com) where users are required to sign up for posting messages. I want to incorporate an additional functionality to login via facebook. I searched on Google but could not find any good examples for implementing this in Classic ASP. Can anyone direct me to a good source of how to do this?
I don't need any advanced functionality, just the basic login feature. My My user registration currently captures the First Name, Last Name, Email address, Country State and City. Is it possible to pull these information from the facebook profile once the user signs in through facebook and create their login in my database?
I guess this should be possible if you manually implement a so-called "Login Flow". Have a look at the docs at
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/manually-build-a-login-flow/v2.0
There you can find a step-by-step guide on how to implement OAuth with Facebook.
I am thinking of embedding different login methods for my website, like login through google account, facebook account and yahoo account.
What do i need to do for that ??
I don't know anything about auto-login.
Any link or explanation to the question will do work...
Thanks :)
You could look into using OpenID.
You you need is API .
for example let say, you are letting user to login with Facebook id, then you need to create page in facebook ... so after then you get API . then configure it.
If you have zero knowledge in such thing , it'll be tough task
I'm linking my app to Facebook, and would like people to log in with their Facebook account, but I can't figure out how to do this. I had read up on Facebook Connect, but it seems that that's not used any more - but every tutorial I can find seems to refer to it. When I try to follow them, it doesn't work, because the interface has changed.
So, can anyone direct me to a tutorial or guide to doing this the new way?
Basically, what I want to do is this:
A user who is signed into Facebook and comes to my webpage is automatically logged in to my app (with the usual Facebook 'granting permission' windows etc), or can sign in with their Facebook account if they're not already logged in.
I then want to use Facebook to link users with their friends who are also registered on my site, so they can share things.
I would also like to have access to Facebook comments made on wall posts from my site - so the comment stream for a particular post can be seen on my site as well as on Facebook, and comments can be made on either.
If anyone can point me in the right direction (or even tell me what I should be typing in to Google!) I'd be very grateful.
Thanks.
Some sample apps that do many of the things you speak of are shown here. The Graph API is probably your best bet right now for delivering the content and access you need and there are numerous tutorials online for how to use it, including the Facebook Developers site itself.
You will find good Tuts on ThinkDiff, e.g.
http://thinkdiff.net/facebook/new-javascript-sdk-oauth-2-0-based-fbconnect-tutorial/
http://thinkdiff.net/facebook/php-sdk-3-0-graph-api-base-facebook-connect-tutorial/

I know this is an older question, but the current method for authentication is OAuth 2.0.
Facebook provides a pretty good outline of what steps are necessary in this Reference:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/client-side/
This example allows the authentication to occur entirely in Javascript on the client side so that you can request a potential user to authenticate via Facebook and then confirm access to your application.
If the user is already logged in, only the access confirmation for your application is performed.
If the user is already logged in and access has already been granted, the user is not required to login, or reconfirm access.
How can i get all the facebook user id whose like my application via a graph api.
Please give any suggestion.
Like facebook fan page showing application liker randomly. I also want to access my application liker list and want to save in database.
Please tell me if any possibility? Need your suggestion...
Thanks
Sorry, I don't think that's possible for privacy reasons Facebook doesn't allow it. You need to get people who like you application to install and authenticate it before you can find out more about them. However, I do remember someone managing to scrape the fans of a page before so maybe that's possible for applications as well...
