Question

In C#, I’m uploading a video file to Facebook from a server, using the following method:

        string fullurl = "https://graph-video.facebook.com/me/videos?" + "title=" + title + "&access_token=" + accessToken;
        WebClient client = new WebClient();
        byte[] returnBytes = client.UploadFile(fullurl, path);

path is the path to the video file on the server. This works, and shows a video uploaded post on the user profile. How can I add a text description (with link) and action links to that post?

please keep the answers in C#

Answer 1

you should pass extra query string parameter – description – with embedded URL. Something like this:

var description = "Bring your conversations to life on Facebook. With face-to-face video calling, now you can watch your friends smile, wink and LOL.\n\nTo get started, visit http://www.facebook.com/videocalling"; 

string fullurl = string.Format("https://graph-video.facebook.com/me/videos?title={0}&description={1}&access_token={2}", HttpUtility.UrlEncode(title), HttpUtility.UrlEncode(description ), accessToken);
