I wonder if it is possible to get the cover photo in just one call.
Like > https://graph.facebook.com/PAGEID/picture?type=square gives you the photo right away.
Is it possible to do the same with this > https://graph.facebook.com/PAGEID?fields=cover
without having to parse it with json?
What i want is the coverphoto right away.
Thanx.
I wonder if it is possible to get the cover photo in just one call.
No you can't.
You may use FB api instead-
$albumCover = $facebook->api("/[album_id]?fields=picture", "get");
echo "<img src='".$albumCover['picture']."' />";
Adding just one extra line wont bother you I guess.

Hello i am trying to get page level insights and post level insights in the same request but cant seem to get the syntax correct.
page id /published_posts?fields=permalink_url,created_time,message,shares,reactions.limit(0).summary(1),comments.limit(0).summary(1),insights.metric(post_reactions_by_type_total,post_impressions_unique,page_posts_impressions_organic)&since=yesterday
This is my request for now but i wanna add page insights like page_fans and page_fans_city.
How can i do that?
You are using the published_posts endpoint there already, you can not go back “up” to the page object from there. You need to rewrite the whole thing so that you use the page id itself as the basic endpoint, and then request everything else via the fields parameter. The trick is to get the syntax and nesting right …
/page-id?fields=insights.metric(page_fans,page_fans_city),published_posts{…}
should work, inside the {…} you then put all the original fields you requested from the published_posts endpoint before, so
/page-id?fields=insights.metric(page_fans,page_fans_city),published_posts{permalink_url,
created_time,…,insights.metric(post_reactions_by_type_total,post_impressions_unique,
page_posts_impressions_organic)}
And &since=yesterday then just goes at the end again, after all that.
To have the since limitation still apply on the post level, it apparently needs to be added on that “field” again, syntax similar to .metric():
?fields=…,published_posts.since(yesterday){…}
i have been trying to get few information details that somehow always return as null. the one that is most needed for me is likes count (or even better, just all the likes. i want to know who liked the post).
my code is
FacebookClient fc = ~my facebook client in version 2.3~;
Post post = fc.fetchObject(anID, Post.class ;
System.out.println("Likes Count - "+ post.getLikes().getData().size());
im trying like so cause this way i get the number 25. so i got it , its limited to 25. how do i get all of the likes??
by the way , if ill just try post.getLikesCount() ill get nothing.
if anyone knows how to handle this situation he might also know how to get Attribution , Shares and FeedTargeting.
thanks for you attention!
To get all Likes of a Post you can request the <postid>/likes endpoint. You can iterate over the pages and the likes.
Perhaps there's a way to use the field expansion, but I'm not sure atm.
Any one have any ideas on how to accomplish this?
I have tried
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=%22%23apple%22
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=%23apple
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q#apple
which does not work.
To be clear the results should only have posts that contain #apple not "apple".
Facebook says this is not supported at this time: https://developers.facebook.com/x/bugs/313941462054417/
if you're trying to get the #hashtags from Facebook, currently, there is no api for this. and even if there were- the posts are not intermediate, they are being cached. you won't see the most recent hashtag from a person who's not in your friendlist right away, this will take a long time to appear in the hashtag search
I've read too that it's not supported but,
trying the second line of jlarry
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=%23apple
in Graph API Explorer, it works.
obviously the query is on the posts set as public.
so the query could be something like this
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=%23joviberton&type=post
for further ops check https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api/
I want to insert a URL filter and I would like the URL to be hard to dechiffre.
For example .*porn\.* in a way maybe that it uses the ASCII code for the letters in hex form .
Of course, the example is obvious and I definately will leave that one as it is ;)
But for the others I would like them to be hard to read!
Thx!
You can use the $_GET function in PHP to pull an ID out of the URL and display it that way, similar to Youtube with their "watch?v=". I recently did one using "?id=49" (I only have a few pages ATM, I will have about 70 soon). What I did is use a database with a song_id to index the information. I use the same basic layout, but you can use the ID to access information wrapped in PHP so that it doesnt get sent to the browser but will still display the page you want.
Or if you really want it to look crazy, you could use a database using the SHA() or MD5() function to encrypt it.
and your display will look like /page.php?id=21a57f2fe765e1ae4a8bf15d73fc1bf2a533f547f2343d12a499d9c0592044d4.
I'm building an app which allows users to post articles to their facebook wall. When an article is posted, I retrieve the post id and store that in the database along with the rest of the article details. Now I want to be able to show the comments made on that post when someone views the article in my site; I would also like to allow users to add comments to the post from my site.
I know that the user is always logged into Facebook when they are viewing the article, as the system checks for that earlier on.
I've been using the PHP SDK, and thought all I had to do was something like:
$post_comments = $facebook->api('/' . $post_id . '/comments');
However, when I do this, I get the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught GraphMethodException: Unsupported get request. thrown in /APP_PATH/facebook/src/facebook.php on line 560
I really don't have much of a clue what I'm doing here, to be honest, as I'm very new to the Facebook Graph API, and I can't seem to find a lot of documentation on it.
Can anyone tell me what I should be doing here, or point me to some documentation I could read about it?
Thanks!
It should work.
Here is the code I am using which is working for me.
$comments = $facebook->api($postid . '/comments');
Make sure your postid is a valid one.
Alternatively, you can directly type that url in browser to get details like this
https://graph.facebook.com/<postedid>/comments
Please refer this link for further reference
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/Comment/
I don't know what your PHP library is doing, but you can actually access comments by reading graph.facebook.com/<post_id>/comments. Indeed, try with this one from the doc.
Are your sure of your post id? Try to call the buggy function with 19292868552_118464504835613 as post id. It has to work.
