I am planning to use FB API to access “Events”. For an example if I select Sri Lanka. All events by that location. If you guys had any luck with that let me know. I am browsing trough FQL to get this done didn’t have much luck.
This does look like something helpful , i found it from a search , but couldn’t. Get it to work as I need.

Please post me up if you guys have any idea.
PS : Final outcome it to grab Events from FB and post on a blog something similar to tumblr.
I haven’t done much work on Facebook platform but the following information might help you:
Read the Developer Documentation as it will tell you how to use API methods and what are their limitations
From what I understand, you can use https://graph.facebook.com/me/events?access_token=%5Ba valid access token] to get events that the current user has been invited to or hosting. It is important to understand that this information are per user basis and each user will have to authorize your application to use information about their subscribed events. This means that it may not be possible to do something like ‘Get a list of all events taking place in Colombo, Sri Lanka’. However you could use the above mentioned api method to collect data from users who use your application. You can then use this data retrospectively create a graph showing all public events information.
Hope that helps.
