Javascript - Best Practices For Facebook Integration Using The Graph API
Mar 27, 2011
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?

I like to send messages when I want from my aspx webpage. I used the different examples and used FaceBook API 3.1. I am getting error as "service temporarily unavailable". I have assigned AppKey, Secret Key and session key. My sample code is below.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using Facebook;
using Facebook.Web;
using Facebook.Rest;
using Facebook.Session;
using Facebook.Utility;
using Facebook.BindingHelper;
using Facebook.Schema;
using Facebook.Web.FbmlControls;
using Facebook.Session.DesktopPopup;
namespace FaceBookApp
{
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
private const string ApplicationKey = "MY_APP_KEY";
private const string SecretKey = "MY_SECRET_KEY";
private Api fbAPI;
private ConnectSession _connectSession;
// private List<EventUser> _eventUsers;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_connectSession = new ConnectSession(ApplicationKey, SecretKey);
_connectSession.SessionKey = "MY_SESSION_KEY";
if (!_connectSession.IsConnected())
{
// Not authenticated, proceed as usual.
//lblStatus.Text = "Please sign-in with Facebook.";
}
else
{
// Authenticated, create API instance
fbAPI = new Api(_connectSession);
string response = fbAPI.Stream.Publish("publish steven on facebook.");
}
}
}
}
The error message is confusing. It must be a very simple solution. I don't know what I am missing. Here is the facebook exception.
{"Service temporarily unavailable"}

I have this requirement of fetching facebook user information like friends count and other basic information and integrate to our website.
I currently use facebook graph to ask user to authorise, fetch information and store in my database.
When their say, friend count changes how do I update my database without asking user to trigger it manually.
Is there a special permission where i can fetch user data when he/she isnt logged in.
I have seen this somewhere but not sure of the permission.
Or does facebook have any feature of publishing information on subscription ?

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 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?

I've integrated my website with Facebook Connect, authorization/single-sign on all working great.
Now im trying to post something to the user's wall, which im having some problems with.
First of all, im using the "old" JavaScript API (FeatureLoader.js).
These are the Graph API URL's im using:
private const string UserDetails_Url = @"https://graph.facebook.com/{0}?access_token={1}";
private const string Feed_Url = @"https://graph.facebook.com/{0}/feed?access_token={1}";
private const string TokenExchange_Url = @"https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?{0}";
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:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?
client_id=...&
redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/callback&
scope=user_photos,user_videos,publish_stream
Which confuses me because im using the following URL to get the OAuth token:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?bunchofqsparams
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:
<fb:login-button length="long" size="medium" autologoutlink="false" background="light" onlogin="facebookLogin('/login')" class=" fb_login_not_logged_in FB_login_button FB_ElementReady"><a id="RES_ID_fb_login" class="fbconnect_login_button"><img id="RES_ID_fb_login_image" src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/zB6N8/hash/4li2k73z.gif" alt="Connect"></a></fb:login-button>
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?

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 would like to know what are the best practices in using Javascript in ASP.NET in a pre-AJAX and pre-jQuery era. What I meant by pre-era is not the time before AJAX/jQuery was created, but rather the time before it is popularized and widely adopted (by a significantly large number of programmers).i.e. Is it good thing to store the script in a string variable and register it on demand (RegisterClientScriptBlock) or on startup (RegisterStartUpScript)?Although in using Javascript in ASP.NET, its usage in PHP and JSP are also welcome.
