I've been up and down the Facebook API as well as all over the internets looking for an answer to this question.
Has anyone seen an example of a website that displays information pulled from a Facebook Page? Is this even possible?
I've been able to run the demos provided at Trying Out Facebook Connect and the API Test Console, but I've only been able to retrieve information on users not pages.
Any help would be appreciated.
Just tried it out on the console - it does work with pages. You just have to use the page ID instead of the user ID for whatever you're trying to get.
Example:
$facebook->api_client->photos_getAlbums(5281959998,'');
This gets the photo albums of the page with ID 5281959998, which is the NY Times.
For now, it doesn't appear possible. Quote from Stream.get:
This method returns an object (in JSON-encoded or XML format) that contains the stream from the perspective of a specific viewer -- currently, a user, and in the near future, a Facebook Page.

I want to create a post in my website and post/share it in my Facebook page. This can be live/video/image etc. The amount likes and reaction my post get in Facebook will need to be fetched and stored in my post related database of my website.
Is it somehow possible to do?
If it is possible then what tools or guideline I need to follow?
The easiest solution would be to save the post ID when you create a post (Which you will get if the post was successfully created via the API) docs
And when you want to get the likes, use that post ID and fetch the API for the information. docs
I'm experimenting with the Wikipedia API and was trying to get the full urls for all images on a particular page, in this example Google's main page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google).
I found the page id through the use of another API and then attempted to use this information in the following API to get the full urls of all images on that page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&pageids=1092923&generator=images&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url|dimensions|mime&format=xml
I get some of the page images from this but cannot understand why I am not getting all - specifically the logo which is what I was most interested in. Apologies I am aware that there are similar questions which have been asked but I was not able to find one which would assist me here.
The API does not give you all results at once, it defaults to 10 results. You see in the beginning answer that you have a value for the parameter gimcontinue. If you use it like this you get more images: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&pageids=1092923&generator=images&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url|dimensions|mime&format=xml&gimcontinue=1092923|Google_bike.jpg
Alternatively, you can ask for more images at once using gimlimit like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&pageids=1092923&generator=images&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url|dimensions|mime&format=xml&gimlimit=500
I have to get list of comment and rating of my goolge-plus page in json format form this url (test url)
https://plus.google.com/b/116355901745826833455/116355901745826833455/posts
I try in developer section of google-plus page. but i dont get appropriate method to find this. please any body can told me in which section of google developer i found this method. this is the first time i have to integrate any google api.
For your Google+ Page, you can make a call to activities.list using the Google+ Page ID to see all of the public posts that the Page has made, including +1s and comments and reshares on those posts. The documentation explains it well and also has an API explorer which you can try for yourself.
For additional information on a particular post, you can try comments.list--as you mentioned--or activities.get.
For the number of +1s for the Google+ Page specifically, you can try a people.get call using the Page ID.
The Google+ API does provide you with some information you ask for as Joanna states, but I believe what you really are looking for is the Place details within the Google Places API, which provides details about businesses, such as reviews. That API will return ratings and reviews. If you also needed +1s then you'd need to use both APIs.
I am developing an application and I am wondering whether there is any way to search a particular user by the give URL?
basically what I want to do is to find out the relationship between a website and twitter account, say by given domain foobar.com, the code will find out the possible twitter account for this website, say #iamowneroffoobar whose url value has been set as 'http://foobar.com' in twitter.
By checking the twitter API, https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/users/search I couldn't find any way to do this, but I have already seen this feature been implemented by few other sites, anyone knows how to do this?
I don't have a direct or easy answer but you can try looking for the URL within Twitter pages using Google or Bing's Search API.
This article notes that you can Search for Twitter users based on the words used in their bio profile -
site:twitter.com intitle:”on twitter” “bio * sport”*
This will provide you with a long list of people who have used the word sport in their Twitter bio. Again, just alter the search term to suit your own needs.
See if you can adapt this search query to find URL specified in the bio of a Twitter user programmatically.
You could make your own web crawler that searches for the www.twitter.com/username link within the HTML source page. For example, search the web for top sites that index under "foobar" in the domain name, then crawl those pages for the code for their twitter button, which contains the username. I have some ideas of how to do this in Python. Mainly just what I've learned for the CS101 course on Udacity.com.
I was having this problem with multiple searches, but here is one of them:
This is the post:
https://www.facebook.com/stefsasu/posts/207104452699707
that should appear in this search:
http://graph.facebook.com/search?q=mccain%20chips&type=post&locale=en_US
Am I doing something wrong?
Even if I delete the locale, the post still isn't there...
This search:
http://graph.facebook.com/search?q=mccain%20chips&type=post&locale=en_US
will not yield all the comments in Facebook that contain "mcCain chips" but rather search facebook for Applications\Pages that contain the search term. This is equivalent for searching in the little search-box on the top of FB's pages.
If you want to search in the comments of a specific user (e.g. Jake) you should fetch https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed?access_token=
and parse the results.
If you want to parse over all of Jake's feed you need to have an access token (which you will get if Jake or one of his friend will install your app, assuming the friend has granted the appropriate permissions).
