facebook-graph

Hi everyone,

I need to access Facebook from a J2EE-App (serverside). I first had a look at this project: http://code.google.com/p/facebook-java-api/ , but as I need to create Facebook-Events and invite people this does not help.

So I guess I need to use the Graph API, but Igot no clue on how to perform those HTTP POST requests needed - especially how to append the nedded attributes.

Facebook API call with email to return UID

I'm trying to do a simple API call with facebook, with a user-given email to return their uid. Do I really need to auth them before this call is made? Thanks! :) I'm not doing anything else with the UID besides displaying to the user, which is why I don't really think it's worth authenticating them. >>> More
