You're gonna use Facebook.dll u can download it using Package Manager in Visual studio if u are using C# for example
NuGet Package here..
and code may look like this
public List<string> Facebook(string query)
{
// Facebook.FacebookAPI api = new FacebookAPI();
List<string> list = new List<string>();
string[] arr = new string[5];
string result = null;
FacebookAPI api = new FacebookAPI(token);
// query is ur search criteria
JSONObject q = api.Get("https://graph.facebook.com/search?q="+query+"&type=post");
foreach (JSONObject item in q.Dictionary["data"].Array)
{
if (item.IsDictionary)
{
foreach (KeyValuePair<String,JSONObject> jso in item.Dictionary)
{
if (jso.Key == "message"/* || jso.Key == "name" || jso.Key == "description" || jso.Key == "link"*/)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
arr[i] = jso.Value.String;
}
list.Add (jso.Value.String);
}
else if (jso.Key == "likes")
{
foreach (JSONObject like in jso.Value.Dictionary["data"].Array)
{
foreach (KeyValuePair<String, JSONObject> lik in like.Dictionary)
{
if (lik.Key == "name")
{
result += lik.Value.String;
}
else if (lik.Key == "id")
{
result += lik.Value.String;
}
}
}
foreach (KeyValuePair<String, JSONObject> count in jso.Value.Dictionary)
{
if (count.Key == "count")
{
result += count.Value.String;
}
}
}
else if (jso.Key == "from")
{
foreach (KeyValuePair<String, JSONObject> froms in jso.Value.Dictionary)
{
if (froms.Key == "name")
{
result += froms.Value.String;
}
}
}
}
}
/*
else if (item.IsArray)
{
foreach (JSONObject j in item.Dictionary["data"].Array)
{
if (j.IsDictionary)
{
foreach (KeyValuePair<String,JSONObject> x in j.Dictionary)
{
result += (x.Key + " --- "+x.Value.String);
}
}
}
}
*/
}
return list;
}
you can of course change post and query to whatever you want to search in Facebook Graph API
and there is another way to do that using FQL and its really easy
hope that will be helpful.
