Facebook – Get Facebook Page Wall Stream

facebookfacebook-wall

I want to get the posts (only from the band, not others) from a Facebook Page Wall (its a Band, so no private profile) and publish it on MY own site.

I hoped to get the Posts as XML or JSON and then parse them.
So I wanted to use Facebook as a news System.

But I didn't find a solution – I don't want to have the user to log in with his account to see anything – it should be just a public stream.

The only idea I found was to use twitter as an export mechanism, but that's kind of elaborate.

Does anybody have an idea?

You could use the Facebook php sdk: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-php-sdk It ends up looking like this:

//
include('facebook.php');
$fb_config = array(
        'appId'  => $yourAppId,
        'secret' => $yourSecret,
);
$facebook = new Facebook($fb_config);
$feed = $facebook->api("/{$nameOfFaceBookPage}/feed");

That will give you an array of feed stories.

You want to do an FQL query like this:

SELECT actor_id, message FROM stream WHERE source_id = <user id> limit 50

You will probably want to select a few more fields, you can see what is available here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Stream_%28FQL%29

Php – Post to Facebook Page Wall

$facebook->api('/123456789/feed', 'post', array(
    'access_token' => $token,
    'link' => 'http://www.example.com'
));

Note the 'post' part.

If you look at the source for the API via the link you provided, you'll see:

protected function _graph($path, $method='GET', $params=array()) {
    if (is_array($method) && empty($params)) {
      $params = $method;
      $method = 'GET';
    }

When you don't have 'post' as the second argument and your array as the third, it goes a get
