Find my own latest check ins using FQL and javascript sdk - facebook-graph-api

My question is how do I my own latest check ins from face book. Well I am open to graph api or fql. I already know how to find my friends but I can't find my own.
me/friends?fields=checkins.limit(1) this gives me my friends but when I tried me?fields=checkins.limit(1) , I dont get any data back , though I have checked in to various places.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Jossie.

try this : me?fields=posts.fields(place)
Publishing a Checkin object is deprecated in favor of creating a Post with a location attached.

me?fields=posts.with(location).fields(place) , yeah this was the exact answer I was looking for, I got this as I was playing with explorer tool of facebook.
Cheers and happy coding.

Missing functions in Router API documentation

I was looking at the source code for Ember.Router and I noticed that the map function is not documented. It's described in the Guides but not in the API. I kind of expected such an important function to have an entry in the API docs. Should I open a bug report for this? I'm not sure I know enough about Ember to submit something myself. Thanks,
You should definitely submit a PR for it. Honestly most people look at the tutorials and use SO before they look into the API, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be properly documented. I'd just steal from the tutorials and submit a PR.

Cannot connect to Google Adwords ColdFusion API

Is anyone using the ColdFusion API for Google Adwords? I'm having a terrible time getting it to work and know I'm probably the problem. Any advice, pointers would really help because I'm beyond stuck.
I'll owe you one!
The problem is on October 25th 2012 v201109 went to sunset and can no longer be used. Martin Orth's solution still calls v201109 and even if you change everything to v201209 (the current version) there are enough changes to the API that the CF library no longer works. I tried and tried and tried to contact Martin but no returned emails. So essentially, DON'T TRY TO USE ColdFusion API -- it will not work without the changes. If someone has more information on this, let me know but for now nothing works.

Updating objects previously created through Graph API

I've searched high and low for an answer to this question, but it doesn't seem to be possible. Which I can almost not believe :)
I am building a Facebook integration for my website, and I am creating links through the Graph API. So far, so good. However, when it came to updating stuff, I got stuck; when my content is updated, I want to somehow update the Facebook data too, but I can't figure out how to do this. There doesn't seem to be anything in the documentation about this; I can create new items, such as links and events, I can delete them programatically, but I can't update them. I've tried doing a POST against the object URL (for example, I created a link using https://graph.facebook.com//links, I got back the ID 123456 for my new link, and I then try to update it by POSTing to https://graph.facebook.com/123456). This was just a guess, and it didn't work.
Am I missing something? Doesn't Facebook like updating the objects I created through Graph API? Thanks for any insight you might provide.
It turns out I was on the right track; POSTing to the object itself is the right way to go (the question I linked to in my comment was a big help). I was simply having issues storing the original ID, which meant I was POSTing to an entirely different ID. The lack of documentation from Facebook throws you off and stops you from digging deeper.

Facebook comments box: Possibility to really set num_posts = 0?

I'm using the comments box on my site to get more users socially involved and at the same time I'm reading the Graph API to print those comments on the same site to make it crawlable for search engines. Problem is now that for a real user the comments show up twice (through my graph api print AND through the actual fb:comments plugin box).
Any ideas how I could solve this ?
Would prefer to show only the comment-field from FB and use my own echo to show the comments as this way enables it to REALLY moderate the comments (not just set it to limited visibility). Thanks for any suggestion!
I found some sort of solution for my problem. It's not perfect, but the closest one can get to what I wanted:
Instead of directly returning the query from the Graph API, I attached a script to the comment.create event. This script writes the new comment into my database, where I can moderate again. This way I have to double-moderate, but therefore I don't have any unwanted comments on my site.
I also found out that with the old deprecated comment-box you can set the comments that get natively shown by facebook to 0. That way only the already moderated comments get shown by my own script coupled with my database. It works the way I want it, even for friends of the unwanted commenter.
Hope that helps someone else too!

How do I find a topic of a website?

I have googled for to find a topic of a site and end with delicious.com but that is not that kind of helpfull..is there any other way to find it?? I am not talking about meta tags or description but catagory of a site...any Ideas??
I hate to give an answer to such a sloppy and carelessly written question, but nonetheless...
If you are looking to categorize a specific website, try typing this into google site:http://www.google.com/dirhp?hl=en along with the website you want to categorize and see if you get any results.
If you question is to find websites in a certain category, then try google's categorized directory. It's different than a normal web search.
