I'm building an LBS app that will integrate facebook places as part of its functunality and I'm trying to find out how to bring my set of POIs to facebook so that I can have them associated with my db of POIs... any clues how to do this thru the Graph API?
You cannot create places through the API.

i am developping a mobile app which can use the facebook API to create and diffuse publicities. but i don't know which API to use. i saw somewhere th MARKETING API can be the one but i am not sure.
The markeying API is one choice. However, there also exists the Facebook Ads API. The only problem with this one is that you have to be approved and verified by Facebook to use it.
I'm developing a Facebook app.
I wonder if I can use the original Facebook search engine in my app via their REST API. Is it possible?
You can search over all public objects in the social graph with
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=watermelon&type=post
q is query and type is object
Check the API docs (look for searching)
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/
I looked for an example of a simple asp.net mvc application which only shows the albums and the pictures they contain via facebook api. Unfortunately I didn't find a worthwhile example.
I visited facebook and read the guilds for developers but in fact I even didn't understand what kind of api I should use: Javascript SDK, Open Graph API or just Graph API. I already created my test application at https://developers.facebook.com/apps.
Does anybody can help me to solve this issue?.
Take a look at Facebook C# SDK - they have an example of a web app on their website: Getting Started with the Facebook C# SDK for ASP.NET
I have web portal. I need to somehow get all Facebook wall posts from just one specific user or group( that represents my web portal). I need to have wall posts available on my web portal for further processing.
I will be also needing an option for posting messages from web portal to FB user/group wall.
I haven`t worked with FB API until now, so any materials, tutorials that can lead me in right direction would be of great help.
Can this be done without creating Facebook application?
Thank you
No,
Facebook just like that does not share its user information.
you will have to create an app on facebook to authorize urself,and on your web portal you will have to sek users permission before getting any user info.
craete facebook app here https://developers.facebook.com/apps
You can choose between javascript sdk and graph api on how you want to get user data.
You can use publish_stream permisiion to get the post on user wall.

Google, but I would be careful here. Try to search for updated tutorials (written or updated on 2011)

How do I find out all users who have installed my canvas app ? Is there a UI on Facebook for it or do I need to query an API ?
See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/insights/#Metrics
You can check the application_installed_users value to figure out how many users have installed your app.
EDIT: this requires the use of the Facebook FQL interface, as covered at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/
It can't be done as per this - How to get all the user IDs of people who are using your Facebook application
I would suggest use you to use the depreceated REST API call once to save all the IDs of the users, and then add a new user to that list (keep on saving it in a db).
