May I know where to find the "auth_nonce" for the facebook graph API.
Currently, I wanted to do the re-authenticate for my facebook-connect and it requires me to enter the "auth_nonce".
Facebook re-authentication document has some information about the auth_nonce
To make a new NONCE
$_SESSION['state'] = md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE)); //CSRF protection
You generate it, and should never use the same value twice (n once).

I have built some RESTful api's with REstlet 2.3.4. I've been using HTTP_BASIC which let the browser prompt for credentials but it's time for a proper login form. I figure the easiest way to implement this is CookieAuthenticator. I can't find full working examples on github/google. I am sure i'm over looking them can someone provide a working example implementing CookieAuthenticator in Restlet?
I did get this to work after all. I have a longer answer here with some code examples. First, i was missing the fact that CookieAuthenticator is a filter and HAS the logic to handle login and logout. You need to create EMPTY ServerResources with a method annotated with #Post that has nothing in the body. Second, extend CookieAuthenticator and overwrite isLoggingIn(..) and isLoggingOut(..) with the code found in the link.

I was wondering if there is any way to get user checkin information for different places based on the place_id. Facebook documentation keeps changing around and I'm not sure if this is possible now? Seems like it was possible in older API versions.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks
Checkins are deprecated since Graph API v2.0. You can get the total count (field were_here_count) of checkins to a place with a call like
GET /BrandenburgerTorBerlin?fields=id,name,were_here_count
which gives the result
{
"id": "145183205532558",
"name": "Brandenburger Tor",
"were_here_count": 128511
}
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/
Is it possible to search for users which are beyond my immediate circle using FB graph API?
If not, does having a paid subscription account help to overcome this hurdle?
I'm using following graph query but seems to be restricted within my circle:
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=xx+yy&limit=5000&type=user&access_token=*
Also if I increase the offset using pagination in the next call, It will still returns the same set of user IDs. So not sure if I'm passing the parameters incorrectly or missing some other parameters.
Thanks for all your help in advance!
Not sure what you mean by your immediate circle in terms of Facebook but I assume you mean your friends. The Graph API allows you to search for all public objects (source) - this means every person (according to answers on this page since names are always publicly available - that's my understanding), not only people who you are friends with on Facebook.
Hence, when you're searching for "John" you should get everyone called John if you're using the Graph API correctly - make sure your access token is valid (you do not need any special permissions to search for people) and your syntax follows the example from here.
In order to test your query I suggest you use the Graph API Explorer before adding the query to your application code. It's a quick way to see if the error is in your query or elsewhere. For example, if you want to find everyone named John, use this link http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET&path=search%3Fq%3DJohn%26type%3Duser. Just make sure to click Get access token on the right if you're using the Explorer for the first time, otherwise the query will return an error.
I about to built a little online game in Action Script 3. At the moment everything is working pretty fine and there is just one thing left to do that makes me going crazy. After every Level of the Game the user should notified about his success and in case that the success was good enough, the user should be invited to a facebook group. At the Moment i have got an Facebook App, Authentification and Authorisation are working and what still is to manage is the invitation itself.
Does anybody know if there is a way to make this happen, and if so, how could it be done? Thanks a lot for a reply!
greetings!
So, after having a nice day of »facebook api investigation« i would sum up the things i found out:
I'm quite sure that there is no way to make an group invitation via the graph api. The best result i could reach was an Error that told me: »requires the manage_groups permission«.
Consequently I added this permission to the login method and »tada«: the app didn't work anymore, just told me that there is an error with the app and I should try later again.
The code for getting this great message looked like this:
FB.api( "//members","POST", { name : "user name" }, function( response ){
//the great error appears here in the response
} );
I also was looking for something in the facebook.connect api but could not find something related to the problem i tried to solve.
If there is anybody who knows something better to try, i would very interested.
Greeting Philipp
Looks like "manage_groups" is not available to the public, (yet?). I'm following this and this discussion about it, as "manage_groups" seems to be required to invite a user to a group, but is not listed in the Facebook reference of extended permissions.
