Question

I’m trying to develop a management tool for my pages and to do that, I need access to the content my users post (as I repost a lot of their content – ex. photos)

It looks like I can get access to all the content that I post, but I can’t seem to find any reference to features that’ll allow me access to the user’s content.

Is this not available in the API?

You can get all the posts for a page at:

https://graph.facebook.com/[PAGE_NAME_OR_ID]/feed?access_token=...

However, you can’t filter on this very well. An option that gives you more control is FQL. This query of the stream table should get you started with posts by others.

SELECT post_id, actor_id, message, attachment, permalink FROM stream
  WHERE source_id = [PAGE_ID] AND filter_key = 'others'

If a user has set their post to private, it won’t be returned by this call. You also need to be aware of the limits of the stream table: It only returns up to 50 posts in the last 30 days. If you want more, you have to use a LIMIT clause to page through your results.
