Question

I am a bit confused between 2 different results.

When I want to retrieve a list of the liked URL with the graph :

$url="https://graph.facebook.com/me/likes?access_token=".$access_token;

The result is : everything I liked and they all have an id.

Than I tried to retrieve the liked URL with fql :

 $fql_query_url="SELECT url FROM url_like WHERE user_id = me()";  
 $query = "https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=";

The result is : many different URLS (most of them are youtube ones) and some of them doesn’t have an id

My questions are :

• What is the difference between these 2 requests ?
• Why some of the fql responses have an id and others not ?
• How can I get all the liked URL who have an id ?

Thank you very much for your help

Answer 1

The /me/likes connection of the Graph API user object only contains likes for Facebook pages; where as the url_likes FQL table contains the Open Graph URLs the user liked, as is stated in the description:

“An FQL table containing the Open Graph URLs that a user has Liked.”

Open Graph URLs in general don’t have their own Facebook ids; they themselves “are” their own id – http://example.com/ identifies http://example.com/ in the Open Graph, and the Facebook data for that URL can be accessed by that, http://graph.facebook.com/http://example.com/
