Question

I’ve been reading the real-time updates documentation for a while and I can’t seem to find an answer. Can I use this feature only for the app’s users? Can’t I define a list of IDs that I want to receive the public feed from(even though not app’s users)?

Thanks a lot

From the documentation:

Objects

You can currently subscribe to updates for these types of objects:

user – Get notifications about particular fields and connections
corresponding to user nodes in the Graph API.

permissions – Get
notifications when your users change the permissions they afford your
applications. The fields are like those in the corresponding FQL
table.

page – Get notifications when pages that have installed your
application change their public properties. Note that the page topic
is only used for subscribing to changes to public attributes of the
page (like name, category, picture etc). This is the same information
that is returned by the graph api call
https://graph.facebook.com/. You can subscribe to the page’s
feed in the same way you subscribe to a user’s feed – the subscription
topic should be ‘user’ and the subscription field should be ‘feed’

These objects are related to YOUR application, so it would be updates from users of your applications, permissions related to your application, etc..
