Question

via the graph api, I create events for facebook pages I have the create_event and manage_pages privileges for.

I post to https://graph.facebook.com/pageId/events with the usual name, location, start_time, street, city parameters. Works perfectly.

However, I haven’t found a way to submit a certain place_id for the event (e.g. FB-ID of the venue). This is possible using the web client. When creating an event, you can select a place/venue, the resulting event page shows that place on the map and links to the place page. Events created via the api only show the location name as text.

I tried place_page_id and several others as parameters, but nothing worked.

Has anybody done that successfully?

Thanks

No with the current API it is not possible. Here’s the only parameters for creating an event available. They are the same for user events as well as page events.

name (string)
start_time (timestamp)
end_time (timestamp)
description (string)
location (string)
privacy_type (string)
