Is there a way that I can use my personal Facebook account to post in multiple groups that I am a member of? I just want to automate posting the same message in multiple groups using the Facebook graph api. I've been reading the documentation and all I am seeing is that you've to be an admin to post in a group. Do anyone have a workaround this?

I will like to know if its possible to retrieve a list of the most followed users (say top 20 users) on twitter through twitter's api. I cant see how to achieve that through any of the endpoints. How do web apps like this https://socialblade.com/twitter/ get that kind of data?
Any insights on this will be helpful.
There is no API for this. You would need to take an opinionated view of the high-volume celebrity accounts, and then watch the accounts by polling the user endpoints regularly. You could also use the commercial streaming APIs to watch the most Tweeted accounts and check the user objects on a regular basis.
(note that this is the same answer you were provided on the Twitter developer forums)
I am wondering if this is simply feasible or FB/Insta does not allow this use case...
I have a community that is ready to share content by posting it on Instagram and tagging media/post/referencing my business account.
Is it possible in my backend while using the Instagram Graph API:
to get notified about any post mentioning my business account
to retrieve consequently posted content to grant points subsequently on my platform?
I am speaking about a competition where users get points by sharing useful content traced back by my platform
Any informed feedback welcome!
Using "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login" api, we are getting the access to a list of people in the user's circles in addition to their name and profile information. After api deprecation, we using people.connections.list api "https://people.googleapis.com/v1/people/me/connections" as per documentation but we get list contacts only, not friends list in google+. please help us to retrieve the friends list in google-plus. Thank you
This is probably only telling you what you already know or have guessed.
From the deprecated People API page: "... calls to the API return empty circle data for those new sign-ins." and "In place of the social connection data from the Google+ People API, you can get rich contacts data from the new Google People API."
It seems that there will no longer be a public API for getting a Google+ friends list. Consider supporting an alternate social media platform for your app or utilizing Google Contacts.
It sounds like the People API will actually be more powerful than the G+ people.list method. The G+ API only listed people that the user had circled--that isn't the same as being a friend or close contact. The people API likely better reflects closer connections between individuals as well as exposing a broad number of contacts to apps. I think for most apps, this is an improvement.
I can understand from this page: https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/groups-api
that it's only possible to retreive information from the Groups API having an authenticated group member to do it through.
What I need to is periodically retrieve the comments to a particular question posted to the group, not necessarily by my own user.
So I was thinking if it was possible to programmatically authenticate a user (that is member of the group) and through that user retrieve the Group information I need.
Do any of you have experience with that or know of any other way of doing this without having a user authenticated through the webbased linkedin login?
Kind regards,
David
I am planning to use facebook authentication for my application. I thought of using facebook account creation date to identify fake accounts. After extensive searching I retired without a solution.
So decided to read user posts to check if the user account existed for sometime, but using read_stream I could only get a user's feed, I would like to know by someway can I get only the user's post.
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/ see statuses connection.
Calling the Facebook API is a (relatively) slow operation; especially if you have to call it multiple times. So, when possible, it is a good idea to get the information you need, without making API calls.
You can take a look at http://metadatascience.com/2013/03/11/inferring-facebook-account-creation-date-from-facebook-user-id/. It explains how to figure out the creation date of a Facebook account without having to call the Facebook API, just based on the user’s Facebook UID.
