How to find status updates on new Facebook?

Is is possible to find status updates filtered by location in Facebook's Open Graph API?

  • Answer:

    Yes! However, relatively few of the people's status updates include a place. To see this in action, run this this FQL query: SELECT message,place FROM stream WHERE filter_key in (SELECT filter_key FROM stream_filter WHERE uid=me() AND type='newsfeed' ) AND is_hidden = 0 AND place != '' Basically, the query finds posts (status udpates) in your stream with a place that is defined. For me, the FQL query returns one post with a place of 142185672480196. You can run the FQL query with the Test Console: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/fql.query Additionally, you can filter by location using both place and targeting. According to http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post: place Location associated with a Post, if any Returns: object containing id and name of Page associated with this location, and alocation field containing geographic information such as latitude,longitude, country, and other fields (fields will vary based on geography and availability of information) targeting Location and language restrictions for Page posts only Returns: object containing comma separated lists of valid country , city , region andlocale
