I was thinking how to write a program which can log me to Facebook and collect the latest status updates of my friends to a linked list. Can this be done for example by PHP or Python without learning Facebook api or do I need to learn that first?
To get your friends’ RSS status feed:
Sign into Facebook
Go to http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?friends
Copy the link to “My Friends’ Notes” on the right hand side
Replace “friends_notes” with “friends_status”
This will give you an RSS feed of all of your friend's statuses.
Yes, you can certainly do it using Php but it would be really dirty.
The right way is to use the Facebook API.
probably scraping their mobile site seem the easiest solution in that case
http://m.facebook.com/
python seem the best language to deal with it

Where I can find the Facebook API in a format like http://swagger.io, https://apiblueprint.org or http://raml.org?
I want to read and request the facebook server (api) "half-atomatic". My script knowns how to interact with the facebook server. And thats why I need the Facebook API in a machine-readable format.
Thank you for any hint.
Cheers Tobias
From what I've seen of Swagger, it sounds like you're looking for something like Facebook's Graph Explorer. It lets you browse the graph API methods visually, whilst manually creating your own queries and sending them to it.
Is it possible to send a message tagging a facebook user using Facebook Graph API? (from facebook PHP SDK)
I've tried the #[id:1:name] method, but it doesn't seems to work. Also, I tried using the message_tags parameter, but no luck. Have anyone done this before? As far as I know, Facebook disabled this option time ago; am I right?
As far as what i know, it's not supported and it's not possible via their graph api, but i think i came across a link via google which shows a trick to tag anything with any link.etc.
Here it is: Click here
P.S I personally didn't test that trick, but i did try tagging using graph api but it didn't work.
Try this, check the Mentioning friends https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/guides/tagging/
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...
I want to integrate a friends website (photographer) with Facebook. I've been trying to find the answer in the Facebook Developers guide, but it doesn't seem clear to me.
What would I need if:
I want to have a like button per photo album he has
I want to publish his news that he enters in my cms to his facebook wall
Do I need an application? Or can I accomplish this with plugins?
Thanks in advance.
the like button can just be added by inserting a code snipped
facebook will take care of the rest.
if you however want to do more with your liked pages like send updates and have statistics, you need to register an app and supply the app id as meta tag in your website. the open graph notation is used.
to publish news post you can obtain a permament token and publish using the graph api, but there are also alternative and probably easier methods
You should keep it simple and be able to accomplish these with just plugins... FB's documentation is quite rich:
In here it explains how to add the like button:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like
And this to post to his wall:

I am used Facebook for my application where I have to post comment on wallpaper. But now I have to modify that application. I want page after user login it will give option like
post to wall
retrieve friends
logout
Can we implement this page after login instead of direct opening the page of post wall.
If yes then provide me some code with brief details. Even your previous code help me lot to solve my previous problem
Thanks
I am not sure if I correctly understand your question, but if you are looking for an easy way to post comments and images to a wall or also to retrieve friends etc ... go check out BMSocialShare - currently better use the dev branch though! In case you want to share to many other platforms as well try ShareKit.
