This seems like a fairly simple issue, however I could not find any straight answer to it, including in the FB permissions documentation page :-/

Anyway, here goes: I have an app that lets a user put up posts on their wall through it. What I need to do is display a list of posts that his/her friends have put up on their walls, and that are related to my app.

To put it in another way, when a user is connected to my app, I would like the app to see the user’s friends’ walls just like the user would see them. This would enable the app to browse those walls for relevant content.

There’s a ton of friends permissions, all of which look very specific. The best bet would seem to me to be ‘friends_likes’… only I’m not looking for likes, I’m simply after posts containing a link to my website that were intended to be seen by friends.

As I’m still not sure I’m being clear, here’s a schematic view of the problem:

  • user1 and user2 have both authorised my app to publish on their walls
  • user1 and user2 are friends
  • user2 has published a post on his/her wall, through my app, with visibility level set to “friends”

=> when user1 is connected to my app, I would like the app to display user2’s post for him/her.

Any help on this would be immensely appreciated,

    As I’m still not sure I’m being clear, here’s a schematic view of the
    problem:

    user1 and user2 have both authorised my app to publish on their walls
user1 and user2 are friends
user2 has published a post on his/her wall, through my app, with visibility level set to "friends"

    => when user1 is connected to my app, I would like the app to display user2’s post for him/her.

    With those permissions and requirements, it will be fairly simple to get that list

    FQL the stream table: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/stream/ This should get you started:

    WHERE source_id IN (select uid1 FROM friend WHERE uid2=me()) ' this is the getting stream items from friends
AND app_id = YOUR_APP_ID ' this is the thru your app part
