Facebook – the API for Facebook ‘profile stream’ aka wall posts

facebookfacebook-wallfbml

Is there an API call, and if so, which call to get the 'posts to my wall from myself and others' on Facebook? It seems like it could be filtered out of the Facebook stream API, but it's not clear how that works to me.

This link seems to imply it's possible:

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

Facebook – What’s the shebang/hashbang (#!) in Facebook and new Twitter URLs for

This technique is now deprecated.

This used to tell Google how to index the page.

https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/

This technique has mostly been supplanted by the ability to use the JavaScript History API that was introduced alongside HTML5. For a URL like www.example.com/ajax.html#!key=value, Google will check the URL www.example.com/ajax.html?_escaped_fragment_=key=value to fetch a non-AJAX version of the contents.

Ajax – specify what type of URLs to search for? – Google Search

Looks like this works:

http://www.google.com/search?q=horse+site%3Atwitter.com+-inurl%3Astatuses+-inurl%3Astatus

the query being:

horse site:twitter.com -inurl:statuses -inurl:status

specifically it looks like you can use negation on the inurl keyword
