I was hoping someone can answer this question for me. I am trying to display wall posts, photos and videos for a certain user for example http://www.facebook.com/sony. I can see the wall posts, photos and videos without signing up for Facebook. Do I need to use the facebook connect API to access the photos and and videos for sony so that I can display them in my iPhone application? I need to display the wall posts as a table view and the images and videos as a gallery very much like how the facebook app displays it. Any help or a API specific page would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Firdosh
If you want to post to a facebook user's wall or status feed then you will need Facebook Connect API. Here's a video on how to add facebook connect to your iPhone App.
Here's the API documentation page you requested.
You will want to bear in mind, that Facebook video isn't able to be played on the iPhone as it's not encoded in any iPhone friendly format.

On facebook you can see who watced your videos, and make retargeting, dark post etc. This is because the user is logged into facebook, and facebook tracks it.
But what if I embed the facebook video on a blog eg., does the tracking continues, or do I need to implementen a facebook tracking pixel on the blog aswell before the tracking on the video can continue, and retargeting is possible?
Found the answer... yes, facebook does track when using embedded videos.

In tumblr.com, are there any API to collect media data such as photos, videos of an account?
Like Facebook, there are Photo , Album feature which allow user to get photos.
Thanks in advance.
Tumblr is blog-based.
So, you can't post a photo or video like Facebook.
Therefore, you can not retrieve photos, videos via Tumblr developer site http://www.tumblr.com/developers
I think there is only way to do this job is you can get all posts of a blog, then detect whether there type are photo/video. Then, extract photos/videos from posts.
What is the fundamental difference between uploading photos to an album or posting directly to the users wall? I want to provide the user with the best experience possible on my application, I also want to use an approach that also benefits my application in terms of social promotion.
Well, it's the same as when done manually, isn't it? Posting to wall gives you one post with photo in it, and posting to album gives you link to album with some thumbnails on your wall.
I am currently developing a service that connects a Youtube account with a Facebook account.
More specifically, it will check firstly if the Facebook user has a Youtube account too, and vice versa and then it will create some visualizations.
The problem is that the application will need the user's email to check in either of these SNS' because the username will not probably be the same.
The question in hand is how to get the Youtube user's email account form his channel, in order to search if he has a Facebook account too.
That would not solve your problem either. I could be using a different email for youtube and facebook. Check for some APIs for youtube and facebook that lets the current user do things.
Edit: Here are some links, if we assume that you want to help users upload videos they've uploaded to Facebook to their YouTube accuont.
You can access all the videos uploaded by this URL https://graph.facebook.com/me/videos/uploaded?access_token=YOUR_TOKEN
which will give you a list of Videos
(found this information at the facebook API reference)
Then you can use the YouTube API to upload those videos to YouTube: https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_uploading_videos
