basicly I want to rebuild the "You and this page" function. This question has been asked multiple times, but there was no working solution.
I'm trying to get a list of people who are the logged in users friends and like a specific page. I tried the following query with a user access token but got an empty result:
SELECT user_id FROM like WHERE object_id=91290503700 AND user_id IN (SELECT uid1 FROM friend WHERE uid2=THE_USERS_ID)&access_token=TOKEN
This query returns an empty result, although I have 20 friends who like Inception (91290503700). I know I can query all my friend's likes and check them against the page id, but for 450 friends it just needs a while, even with batch processing (for me it took 14-27 seconds for these nine batches).
Thx!
SELECT uid FROM page_fan WHERE page_id=PAGE_ID AND uid IN (SELECT uid1 FROM friend WHERE uid2=me())
This worked great for me with all permissions granted for my user token. Play around with the permissions to find what permissions you need for this FQL statement to work.
{
"data": [
{
"uid": 95193664134392
},
{
"uid": 91440825654091
},
{
"uid": 96905133509693
}
]

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.

I am working on some data analysis regarding beverage manufacturers in the US and would like to grab posts from the company facebook pages to mine some data using the standard facebook graph API. I am new to the facebook API and I am hoping to get some clarifications here that I can't find in the developer docs.
For a simple example lets look at 2 companies FB pages:
https://www.facebook.com/CocaColaUnitedStates
https://www.facebook.com/BellsBreweryInc
Now per the API documentation, I should be able to retrieve the posts on those public company pages via a URL as follows:
https://graph.facebook.com/COMPANYFBNAMEHERE/feed?access_token=MYTOKEN
or
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/COMPANYFBNAMEHERE/feed?access_token=MYTOKEN
This works for CocaCola: https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/CocaColaUnitedStates/feed?access_token=MYTOKEN
This returns data as I would expect:
{
"data": [
{
"message": "The French \"yes! yes! yes!\" sounds like \"we! we! we!\" (lettered \"oui.\") \"C'est la vie\" sounds like (homonym) \"say LOVIE\" (like lovie dovie).\n\nSong of (rather than \"by\") Robbie Nevil: C'est La Vie\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGtf9QfITQw",
"created_time": "2016-02-06T02:52:17+0000",
"id": "820882001277849_452698638250376"
},
etc....
However when I try this for Bell's: https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/BellsBreweryInc/feed?access_token=MYTOKEN
I get this:
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100,
"fbtrace_id": "AWTxWye6vub"
}
}
I am not understanding why I am getting an error on Bell's page? It's a publicly available company FB page, so I can't imagine it's a restriction, but I can't understand why it wouldn't be returning the posts like CocaCola?
It sounds like the owner of the token you are using is below the legal drinking age. BellsBreweryInc is a page in the alcohol category so no data will be returned for users under the legal age. This is something BellsBreweryInc would have set in their page settings.
Age restircted websites require a user access token from a user account that meets the page requirements. I was using an app access token which is why it didn't work.
I needed to log into my account and generate a user access token and use that token in the URL.
Also, just realized that token expires in a couple hours. Anyone wanting to do this may also want to read this: How to extend facebook access token in python
I want to post a simple status update on one of my pages with a perl-script. To find out how to do best, I use facebooks Graph API Explorer https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer for experiments
I use the access token of my FB-app. This app is doing a good job since 2 years. The access token will expire in about 2 month and among many other permissions it has the permissions "publish_stream" and "manage_pages".
I select "POST", then, in the field next to "POST", I enter the ID of my page (a 15-digit-number starting with 102 ending with 937). This ID is correct, because I can GET data from this page using exactly this ID.
I click on "Add a field", then I enter the field-name "message" and the value "test-message". Then I click on "Submit". And then I get this result:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#210) Subject must be a page.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 210
}
}
But posting a comment to an existing posting on the same page works fine. I simply replace the page-ID 102...937 with 501...852/comments where "102...937" and "501...852" are 15-digit-numbers.
What am I doing wrong? What must I do to post a message on my page using the Graph API Explorer? "102...937" is the ID of an existing page. I am managing 3 pages, I have the same problem with all 3 IDs.
I found the solution:
In the field next to POST I only did enter the Page-ID (like 123456789012345) but you must add "/feed" to the end, like this: 123456789012345/feed
The documentation does not say how to post a status message. To me it was clear, If want to post something on a page, I have to enter the pages ID, not more. And if the error-message would have said "Subject must be a FEED" everything would have been clear. But is said "must be a PAGE" but it already was a page.
i want to get each post id with all comments for a page using fql query.if i use -
SELECT text,post_id FROM comment WHERE post_id IN(SELECT post_id FROM stream WHERE source_id=page_id_here)
this returns -
{
"data": [
{
"text": "Would be nice if my website would let me do the update. It says I have the most current version 2.5.9 :(",
"post_id": "2211155996_10151336546425997"
},
{
"text": "All of mine just started showing the update message in the last hour and just got the emails from Admin tools.",
"post_id": "2211155996_10151336546425997"
},
........continues
as you see it returns text and post_id in one object.what i want is there will be post_id and its all comments in one object.hope i get answer as i am struggling for a hour.It's something to do with multi queries with join
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.
