I ‘ve been trying to test the place parameter when used for searching post using the Facebook Graph API. However it does not seem to affect results !!
For example:
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=coffee&type=post¢er=44,55&distance=1000
in the previous URL results do not change when I change the values of latitude and longitude (44,55) or the radius (1000)
Am I doing something wrong ?
I think the “distance” and “center” parameters only work when you use the parameter “type=place”.
e.g. The two links below return demonstrate this.
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=coffee&type=place¢er=44.270962,55.096039&distance=1000&access_token=%5Baccess_token%5D
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=coffee&type=place¢er=53.270962,-6.096039&distance=1000&access_token=%5Baccess_token%5D
Once you have all the places returned, you could then do a further search on each place for their posts that contain coffee…
