In my app the user can record an audio file (say of their child's first word). Is there a way for them to post this on Facebook so that only the people they want to hear it can (privacy settings). I mean I don't think the user would want to post it on a sight where anyone and everyone could hear it and then link this their facebook page. I have looked around a lot and I see the possibility of Open Graph (which I use to upload a videos from my app) but since there is no direct upload to facebook of audio as I understand it. Each user would have to upload the audio to something like SoundCloud and then link this to Facebook. I'm not sure SoundCloud is the place for these types of recording. Does anyone have a better Idea.
Thanks a bunch.
You can upload the sound to SoundCloud and keep it private. You will then get a "secret link" to the file which you can post to your friends on Facebook.
Make a video with no video (black screen) and just audio, and upload it to facebook as video

I need a list of videos uploaded via share dialogue by the user using my app. I can't see any app-specific data added to the video in graph API, however, uploaded videos on Facebook does have the tag of my app when they get added to the feed. I want to track videos uploaded by the user using my app's share dialogue. Can anyone point me in the right direction to achieve this?
This is not a supported feature by the Facebook API. So there is no way to get this done without help from the Facebook team.
We're trying to have users share 'articles' on a simple website into their timelines. Each article is associated with a video and we would like to use that video in the representation of the article in a users timeline. Now, I've read that linking to an mp4 via open graph meta tags isn't possible anymore. So I presume I should be using the graph api.
Could someone confirm that this is true?
And if so can you give a quick run down of the necessary steps achieve this?
Thanks
Sometimes I see that the likes and view for a video obtained using vimeo API response goes missing due to some reason . Why does this happen ? Is there a work around ?
In a users settings they can chose "I prefer not to share statistics on my video clip pages". Video responses in the API respect this setting, and will not include plays.
Likes should always appear, so if you do not see them please contact Vimeo directly with as much information as possible.
Can anyone tell me how this facebook application was able to make 'MemeGen' a link in this post? I have a photo upload application, and everything works great, but I can't figure out how to stick a link like this in the posts.
This is the markup that they managed to get into the message.

Thanks for any help!
That is obviously not a normal photo upload, but an Open Graph action, which publishes a user generated image – https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/#usergenerated
(And at that, it is in violation of the rules, because actions are only supposed to post real photos that the user publishing the action took at that very moment with his camera – and I doubt that this particular image with text on it qualifies as such.)
I'm doing a job for Company A. I've just built their website in Django but now they want to add a social photo management aspect to the site (in that other people can upload).
The only way I know of doing this (having done it before) is through Flickr. You can set up a group and have it so anybody can add photos to it. And pull out the latest with RSS. But let's be honest, Facebook is far more popular and my client wants this feature heavily used by his clientèle.
They have a Facebook page and the power to open it up so anybody can add their photos to it... But how can I pull those photos back to the website?
Facebook's query language can do this (like the RSS sends data to you from Flickr) for users of FB pages, and there are some Javascripts for making them viewable and interactive on external web pages.
For example:

Good luck!

I'm not sure if this will help, but I recall that the Flock Web Browser had the capability of loading a stream of new videos/photos on the top of the brower's media stream bar - perhaps you can sneak a peek into the inner workings it uses to accomplish this task.
I know that you can start reading the RSS feed of a Facebook Page itself now, perhaps just a little parsing is all you need: http://www.allfacebook.com/facebook-pages-rss-2010-01
