REST API Calls

Facebook API calls are grouped into eight action categories. These calls are really wrappers for more sophisticated FQL interactions with the Facebook back end but are useful bits of code that speed up the development of your application. These calls include the following:

• facebook.auth provides basic authentication checks for Facebook users.
• facebook.feed provides methods to post to Facebook news feeds.
• facebook.friends provides methods to query Facebook for various checks on a user’s friends.
• facebook.notifications provides methods to send messages to users.
• facebook.profile allows you to set FBML in a user’s profile.
• facebook.users provides information about your users (such as content from the user’s profile and whether they are logged in).
• facebook.events provides ways to access Facebook events.
• facebook.groups provides methods to access information for Facebook groups.
• facebook.photos provides methods to interact with Facebook photos.
