Graph API missing type property? - facebook-graph-api

According to the documentation, there's supposed to be a type property in there, but this isn't happening, at not least at the moment.

Use Request https://graph.facebook.com/1598234077?metadata=1 you will get "type". Otherwise you don't.
But if you call in the graph explorer it will return type. If you call using API in your application, it wont. You need to include metadata.
its called "introspection" by adding metadata argument to your request. I had a tough time to find this. Facebook documentation doesn't help much.
GET http://graph.facebook.com/object_id?metadata=1

Facebook API process shared object [duplicate]

I just tried through the Graph API Explorer with this path /v2.4/10153513872748291 and I've got this result:
{
"error": {
"message": "(#12) singular links API is deprecated for versions v2.4 and higher",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 12
}
}
But https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/ doesn't say anything about deprecation.
I'm not sure if I miss something, or there's another way to get info about an individual post.
Edit: v2.3 works, but v2.4 is the latest one.
Looks like you now need to the combination of the id of the user or page that made the post (or whose wall it is on), an underscore, and then the post id.
For your example post, 10153513872748291, that is made by a page Drama-addict, that has the id 141108613290 – so 141108613290_10153513872748291 will work.
And so does 788239567865981_10153513872748291, because 788239567865981 is the id of the user making the post.

Facebook Graph Api Get tagged comments

I am trying to gather information about the number of comments from a facebook past that include a tag to a user, i.e. when you type #Joe Bloggs.
I know you can get all comments by either getting using the Comments edge for a post v2.8/[Postid]/comments or by the comment id directly v2.8/[comment-id]
But the message field that is returned is plain text and includes no indication of tags. e.g. something like:
{
"created_time": "2017-02-28T09:31:08+0000",
"from": {
"name": "Fred Bloggs",
"id": "123"
},
"message": "Joe Bloggs look at this",
"id": "1234"
}
Is it possible to get this somehow?
You need to include the field message_tags in your request. It will give you an array of profiles tagged in this comment.

How to get cover photo from a document created in a Facebook group?

I am using the graph API explorer trying to find the photo added as the cover photo of a created document in a facebook group.
I am using the api call graph/v2.8/{group-id}/docs to get all the documents, and that works. However, there are no fields from a single doc stating anything about a cover picture. when I get all the documents I get data such as:
{
"data": [
{
"can_delete": true,
"can_edit": true,
"created_time": "2017-01-22T12:13:39+0000",
"from": {
"name": "name",
"id": "someId"
},
"icon": "https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v3/y7/r/8zhNI-VGpiI.png",
"message": "some HTML-formatted message",
"revision": "revNr",
"subject": "subject",
"updated_time": "2017-01-23T10:08:46+0000",
"id": "someDocId"
}
]
}
Maybe it is possible to use the documentId in order to get the cover photo, but I don't seem to find the correct API call. Are there any special permissions I need to have as well? I am only using the user_managed_groups permission.

Facebook Objects API Queries o

I have asked some old questions previously but those were quite misleading. So I decided to delete them and creating this one.
My object has a custom property named say it is portal content. In the Facebook Graph API Explorer data related to this object shown like;
{
"created_time": "2015-11-26T08:42:26+0000",
"title": "Title",
"type": "ns:type",
"data": {
"portalcontent": "portalcontent"
},
"id": "12515125125"
},
{
"created_time": "2015-11-26T08:04:09+0000",
"title": "Title2",
"type": "ns:type",
"id": "412512512512"
},
{
"created_time": "2015-11-25T12:56:03+0000",
"title": "Title3",
"type": "ns:type",
"id": "234124124124"
}
I am trying to query this data using Facebook graph api. But can not fetch just based on the portal content custom property.
So far I tried;
appid/objects?pretty=0&type=ns:type&limit=100&portalcontent=portalcontent
to do so. But it is still fetching all objects.
PS: please pm or comment on question for why you are downvoting it. Provide what else you need that I must put on the question. Downvoting for no reason getting people annoyed.
There's currently no way to filter results other than those described on the respective endpoint's docs.

How to write CouchDb views?

I have list of such documents in my database of couchDB.
{
"_id": "9",
"_rev": "1-f5a9a0b76c6ae1fe5e20f1a1f9e6f8ba",
"Project": "Vaibhava",
"Type": "activity",
"Name": "Civil_Clearence",
"PercentComplete": "",
"DateAndTime": "",
"SourcePMSId": "1049",
"ProgressUpdatedToPMSFlag": "NO",
"UserId": "Kundan",
"ParentId": "5"
}
How to write a view function so that when i pass a doc._id as a key then i must get all siblings of that doc._id(docs with ParentId same as the key which I have sent)??
As said in another answer, it is not possible to do that with a single request.
However, you can do the following instead:
Define a map (with no reduce) view indexed on ParentID:
function(o) {
if (o.ParentID) {
emit(o.ParentID);
}
}
Send a first request to your object to know the ID of its parent:
GET /myDatabase/myObject
Then send a request to your view
GET /myDatabase/_design/myApp/_view/myView/?key="itsParent"&include_docs=true
Having several requests should not cause much harm here, since their number (2) is constant.
Moreover you can hide them behind a single request handled by NodeJS.
Unfortunately, you would need to chain together two map-reduce functions to achieve this result and that functionality is not available in CouchDB. See this question for further information.
