How To Get The Work Information From A Facebook User Using Graph API
Mar 17, 2011
I am tying to get the work information from a facebook user using Graph API
When I use the Graph API and get the User object, it contains work information, which is essentially a list of the work history. The list elements contain nodes of employer, location, description, etc...
The FQL return it as a JsonObject, how do i get the the value employer out of it. I am only interested in the last employer. I tried something below but could not get it working.
[Code]....
There is more information that says it return the "work_history" as an array
I was implementing codes taken from[URL] .... and [URL] ....
It works fine separatly but when i want to integrate it gives me an error "Bad Request......"at so how can i get user info and his friend list on login button.
I'm writing applications on Facebook located on an external website ASP.NET C #. The application should check whether or not a person likes my Fan Page (page) on Facebook, and if he or she doesn’t like it needs to like it before using this application. How this can be done using the Graph API and ASPSnippets Facebook API.
I'm using the TokenExchange_Url URL to receive the unique user OAuth token to make calls with.
This is working fine, because a) i receive the token back, and b) i can issue HTTP Get Requests to the Graph API (i.e UserDetails_Url) and it works fine.
But, i cannot Post to the User's wall using the Feed_Url.I'm pretty sure the issue is i haven't got the appropriate user permissions to post to a wall (i.e facebook-side setting).
Now, i realise i can use the fbPublish API method client-side to do this, but i want to do it server-side with the Graph API.
I wont bother showing my code which attempts the call to the Graph API to post to the user's wall, as its pretty straightforward (HttpWebRequest, set method to "POST', set content type/length, write bytes to Stream, etc).
I think the problem is i need the user to grant my aplpication "publish_stream" extended permissions.
The Facebook Graph API doco says to do this in your authorization request:
Am i using the wrong Token Exchange URL? Why is there two different URL's to seemingly get the same piece of information?
Yes - i have read the Facebook API doco (numerous times), and yes i have read other similar SO questions, but they all result in using the client-side API to publish to wall, i want to do it server side.
For the actual "Facebook Connect" button, i'm using the standard FBML:
When i click this (and not logged into Facebook), it pops up a window which the user can login. But it doesnt have the "Request Extended Permissions" dialog - shouldnt it? Or is that another popup i need to manually trigger?
So to sum up, here are my questions:
How do i grant extended permissions to publish to the user's wall?What is the correct URL for obtaining an OAuth token?Is there a definitive source for showing how to post to a user's wall using server-side Graph API calls?
When it comes to integrating your site with facebook, is it recommended to save all the user's info from Facebook to your DB, or is it recommended to query in real time all the info you need based on the user's id?
For example the avatar sizes are different on my site than on my facebook, so I may have no choice but to download the fb avatar, but for other things like name, gender, hometown, I was wondering if I need to save that data. Also, if I decide to change extended permissions at a later time, is that going to be an easy task?
We're thinking of making use of the Facebook Live Stream social plugin for our site (example here), but I wanted to know if it was possible to access this data via the Graph API?
I try to get parse JSON response for the following link: https://graph.facebook.com/feed/?ids=135395949809348,149531474996&access_token=
The response is like that: { "135395949809348": { "data": [ { ....Some data }] } , "325475509465": { "data": [ { ....Some data...... }] } }
I use System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.Deserialize(string json) method. But the objects key names always different , so I can't define the class that can be used for parsing this response.Is anyone has any experience in parsing multiple id's response from Facebook?
Regarding your facebook api in aspsnippets, and the article [URL]..... , I can get the facebook user id, name, email, gender, birthday. But I cannot get UserName. When running website, the lblUserName is blank.
