I’m working on a module to my web application which is supposed to display latest news feed entries for a specific user.
I was wondering if it’s possible to add a certain “orderby” parameter to the graph api url in order to fetch the “latest news” instead of facebook’s default “top news” which arranges the order using popularity and other elements.
I’m currently using the following url:
https://graph.facebook.com/me/home?access_token=…&limit=10
but again, this does not return the latest entries.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
You can use FQL rather then Graph to query the “stream” table. FQL supports order by statements similar to SQL. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/
For your specific example it would be
Obviously you will want to query more then just the post_id, you can find the full list of fields here http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/stream/
