How to update the Tkinter graph?

Is there a way to @tag a Facebook user via the Facebook Graph API?

  • In the Facebook status update interface, typing an at-sign shows a dropdown that lets you select a friend.  Is there a way to submit these tags via the graph API?  There doesn't seem to be anything on this in the documentation.

  • Answer:

    If you use a photo end point, for example /me/photos you can achieve a workaround, otherwise no. A simple guess would be, the more developers abuse this, the faster it will go away. curl -F 'access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \       -F 'source=http://yourdomain.com/urltoimage.jpg' \       -F 'message=@[USER_ID:FirstName LastName]' \       'https://graph.facebook.com/me/photos' For more info, http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#photos

Not yet. Facebook doesn't currently allow Write access to the Friends list. You can Read it for days and days though. The Friends list is first node of a social graph--I foresee Facebook protecting it for some time. It's a true competitive advantage. I also suspect the next phase of Open Graph (maybe even before PeopleSense launches, my idea of what they should call it:) will be Open People Tagging. So as a user, I can tag my Facebook Friends on any piece of content anywhere Open Graph is implemented.
