How to use Facebook graph API query correctly - facebook-graph-api

i am a new comer .Someone suggested me that i will get a solution of my question from this site.So that's why i am posting my question in here.
When i used this facebook fql query:
http://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=SELECT+like_info+FROM+photo+WHERE+object_id=723217944369470
Answer was:
{
"data": [
{
"like_info": {
"can_like": false,
"like_count": 7,
"user_likes": false
}
}
]
}
But when i used this facebook fql query:
http://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=SELECT+like_info+FROM+stream+WHERE+post_id=488253731301614
Answer was:
{
"data": [
]
}
Why?and how to query correctly to get a post's like info?

In graph API, you can do something like this to get a post's likes:
https://graph.facebook.com/POST_ID/likes?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
You need to replace POST_ID and ACCESS_TOKEN with actual values.
You can use Graph API Explorer to generate an access_token
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ (don' forgot asking for sufficient permission to view the post in question).

Facebook Graph API get page_impressions

I've been using the graph api to get insights for our page. I log in, authorise and get a page access token. Recently, Facebook made it impossible to get any data without getting your app reviewed. I've managed to get my app reviewed with the following permissions:
manage_pages, email, read_insights, default:
These are found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/
This is my call:
https://graph.facebook.com/v3.0/me/insights/page_impressions_by_age_gender_unique
And this is the response:
{
"data": [
],
"paging": {
"previous":
"https://graph.facebook.com/v3.0/300196376675661/insights?access_token=xxx&pretty=0&metric=page_impressions_by_age_gender_unique&since=1532674800&until=1532847600",
"next": "https://graph.facebook.com/v3.0/300196376675661/insights?access_token=xxx&pretty=0&metric=page_impressions_by_age_gender_unique&since=1533020400&until=1533193200"
}
}
Are there additional permissions that I need to get in my app? Has anyone managed to get these insights?
Looking for these items:
[
("page_impressions_by_age_gender_unique", "day"),
("page_impressions", "day"), ("page_impressions_unique", "day"),
("page_impressions_paid", "day"),
("page_views_by_age_gender_logged_in_unique", "day")
]
This might help!
Your query should be like this =>
"<your_page_id>/insights?metric=page_impressions_by_age_gender_unique&accessToken=<your_page_access_token>"
Make sure to pass the Page Access Token, not user token.

Facebook Graph API feed not working

I'm completely new to Facebook Graph API.
I'm trying to use the Graph API Explorer: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
I got the token, I'm using GET method and version 2.5 of FQL, and following is the query itself:
me?fields=id,name,picture,feed
The result from that query unfortunately only includes the id, name and picture but does not include the posts. I also tried to write "posts" instead of "feed", but the result was the same.
This is what I get:
{
"id": "123456789",
"name": "John Smith",
"picture": {
"data": {
"is_silhouette": false,
"url": "https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/very-long-url"
}
}
}
As you can see, nothing about the posts.
I also tried to open a new Chrome tab and go directly to this URL:
https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed?access_token=very-long-token
And this is what I get for that:
{
"data": [
]
}
What am I doing wrong?
Any help will be profoundly appreciated!
Did you try with user_posts permission?
Maybe you forgot this...
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.6/user/feed
Your app needs user_posts permission from the person who created the
post or the person tagged in the post. Then your app can read:
Timeline posts from the person who gave you the permission. The posts
that other people made on that person Timeline. The posts that other
people have tagged that person in.

Facebook api get post of specific user

Im trying to inquire an open and public group by using the graph API
https://graph.facebook.com/396697410351933/feed?{TOKEN}
So far so good and i'm receiving a json with the latest posts
is there any way to get only specific user post by using the from.id value
"from": {
"id": "123456",
"name": "XXXX"
},
somthing like that
https://graph.facebook.com/396697410351933/feed?{TOKEN}&id=123456
thanks,
miki
There's currently no way to filter this via the Graph API. If you have access to a Graph API v2.0 app, you could use FQL to filter as you desire. Be aware that FQL will be deprecated in August 2016.
See
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/stream/
Try actor_id as the ID of the person which posted the post, and source_id as the group id.
Sample query:
select actor_id, message, created_time from stream where source_id=396697410351933 and actor_id=10152352765098713

display most commented (on facebook) "article"

i have set of articles on my website where people can comment using facebook.
The fix is I have to find the most commented article and show, say 5 of them, on webpage.
I have tried looking into facebook api, and googled it out for 2-3 days without having any luck.please help
You can query this info from the Facebook API - I'll explain the process to do it, but I'm not a django expert, so you'll need to turn this into Python.
Basically, you need to grab the URLs for each of your articles and hit the Graph API requesting the comments and a summary of them for that URL like this: https://graph.facebook.com/comments/?ids=YOUR-URL&summary=1
Change the YOUR-URL part of the above to the link you want to check. You can even specify more than one link at at time if you like: https://graph.facebook.com/comments/?ids=YOUR-URL1,YOUR-URL2&summary=1
So if you query the example.com comments:
Hit this URL https://graph.facebook.com/comments/?ids=http://example.com/comments&summary=1
You should get back some JSON data which looks like this (I trimmed the middle bit):
{
"http://example.com/comments": {
"comments": {
"data": [
...
],
"paging": {
"cursors": {
"after": "NDc4OQ==",
"before": "NDgyMg=="
},
"next": "https://graph.facebook.com/10150107083136229/comments?summary=1&limit=25&after=NDc4OQ\u00253D\u00253D"
},
"summary": {
"order": "ranked",
"total_count": 4822
}
}
}
}
In the "summary" section you can see there is a total_count which is the number of comments made on that URL.
So your process will be:
Loop through all the links you want to check
Hit the Facebook Graph API for that URL Extract the total_count response in the JSON and
store it (perhaps in a table)
Order the results on the number of comments descending, limiting to
only the first 5 results (if you're using MySQL then something like
SELECT * FROM whatever ORDER BY total_count DESC LIMIT 5)

Facebook Graph API - get ID for a URL?

This seems like a pretty obvious, basic thing to expect from the Graph API, but I'm having serious difficulty with it. All I want to do is get the ID for any particular URL. They have a method for this:
https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/
And that works great. But if I try another URL, say for my blog,
https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://dusda.vox.com
it doesn't give me back a numerical ID like all of the examples do. Instead, this:
{"http:\/\/dusda.vox.com":{"id":"http:\/\/dusda.vox.com"}}
If I try to use that "id", I get jack (probably because the query string looks impossible to parse):
Request: https://graph.facebook.com/http://dusda.vox.com/likes
Response: {"id":"http:\/\/dusda.vox.com\/likes"}
So what's up with this? Is the Graph API just selectively reliable, or am I misunderstanding something? I've tried it on URLs that I know are popular on Facebook, too, and I've gotten mixed results.
Try FQL for this;
http://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=select%20url%2C%20id%2C%20type%2C%20site%20from%20object_url%20where%20url%20%3D%20%22http%3A%2F%2Fkriek.hu%2F%22
returns:
{
"data": [
{
"url": "http://kriek.hu/",
"id": 497425470154,
"type": "link",
"site": "kriek.hu"
}
]
}
For more information, see object_url.
I hope it helps!
The ID is given by Facebook only to pages which have a fbshare/like button. Else the API returns the number of shares and the request URL.
If I use the facebook object debugger page I can scrape every url, for example:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=ddnl.de
The page give me back an url with ID and so I can get every needed parameters.
In this case https://graph.facebook.com/10150164108649475
But I don't get this ID or url with FQL or otherwise?
Very old question, but here's what I found works for me as none of the answers here really resolved my issue:
If you have a custom object tied to a url, the method suggested by Pepe only gives the id FB assigns to the url where type=link. (Which is not tied to any comments)
In my case, I need my custom object id so that I could pull associated comments from it. You can get the object id using FQL by doing a select on 'comments_fbid' from the 'link_stat' table. (This will return the object id even if no comments have been added so it should work for other cases)
api.facebook.com
At this time no of the suggested solutions work for all urls. Only the Debugger is able to get the Graph ID correctly
For example
Debugger:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.de%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2F3810510793%2F
For URL:
www.amazon.de/gp/product/3442465583/
Result:
https://graph.facebook.com/10150771435736113
{

I had the same problem here, I was trying to get the same data IMDB gets. After almost bang my head against the wall, I decided to look at the facebook's js function. And look what I get, the explanation is on the link.
