I’m able to return a location’s details by sending a query via the graph api with the location’s ID, however I’m looking to achieve the reverse – effectively find location id by sending a request containing the location name (city, state etc). Is this possible?
This is possible under a few different approaches. You can either search using long / lat positions and put the place name into the query. This search will search places only.
Do the following
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=ritual&type=place¢er=37.76,-122.427&distance=1000&access_token=mytoken.
This will return ritual coffee.
Another way is to search through facebook pages using the following
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=ritual%20coffee&type=page&access_token=mytoken
This way is more difficult as you will obviously need to parse the list in more detail.
