Get Facebook Page Wall Stream - facebook

Question

I want to get the posts (only from the band, not others) from a Facebook Page Wall (its a Band, so no private profile) and publish it on MY own site.
I hoped to get the Posts as XML or JSON and then parse them.
So I wanted to use Facebook as a news System.
But I didn't find a solution - I don't want to have the user to log in with his account to see anything - it should be just a public stream.
The only idea I found was to use twitter as an export mechanism, but that's kind of elaborate.
Does anybody have an idea?

Answer 1

You could use the Facebook php sdk: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-php-sdk
It ends up looking like this:
//
include('facebook.php');
$fb_config = array(
'appId' => $yourAppId,
'secret' => $yourSecret,
);
$facebook = new Facebook($fb_config);
$feed = $facebook->api("/{$nameOfFaceBookPage}/feed");
That will give you an array of feed stories.

Answer 2

I assume you created a facebook page for your band and it has url in such format:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/<band_name>/<page_id>
In this case you can read wall posts in json format using Graph API (no login required):
https://graph.facebook.com/<page_id>/feed

Answer 3

If you only want posts from "me", can't you just use the Like Box social plugin and show the stream? This plugin will only show posts from the page owner.

Answer 4

I am developing a similar app and after a lot of searching finally accomplished
https://graph.facebook.com/194466683916784/feed?access_token=AAACTzPZAxblQBAHND7fo1rA58VqQawuJb806Q6BeIFhTroyGSYIe5i0R5fZAZBtffNvkkZB7ayvV7Vw7j7ZBf7vGt6xHx2gjx4FhO8d27sAZDZD
enter your page wall id after .com and in the access token get your own access token from Graph - API explorer
Then exchange that token for a longer for a longer lived one that is for 60 days and you are good to go

Answer 5

Some time ago I had your same problem and I was looking for something very simple to publish feeds of facebook pages, but I didn’t find any solution on the web.
What I want to achieve are the post (only from my personal fan page, not the other) of the bulletin board (facebook wall) of a FB page (this is a fan page, not private profiles) and publish it on my site.
I was hoping to get the posts in JSON or XML format and then encode them so as to use FB as a news system. Unfortunately I haven’t found any kind of solution because I don’t want the user has to log in his account to see something so it must be a flow of pubblic feed.
So, I decided to code the plugin. Here the link to the tutorial:
