Get data from a facebook page wall or group wall for use on personal website

Question

I want to connect to public facebook page or group and list all entries from the wall on a personal website. I will use PHP on my server so that would be the best solution for me. Or javascript.

Could anyone explain or perhaps give a working code on how to do this? Or just all steps nessesary for making this?

If its possible to handle information about person, date, description ... for each post, that would be great! So my layout could be customized.

Thanks for helping me out here!

Answer 1

You need to run FQL on stream table and provide id of a page or group you are interested in as source_id (fb docs have some explanation and examples). Once you get stream data you can dig deeper and get user who left this post or any other data you need again through FQL.

There are many ways of running FQL - it could be done in JS API, PHP API, or through old REST API.

Answer 2

use the facebook graph api urls that they provide

python code using simplejson parser

keyword="old spice"
searchurl='http://graph.facebook.com/search?q='+keyword
resp=urllib2.urlopen(searchurl)
pageData=resp.read()
json = simplejson.loads(pageData)
posts=json['data']
for p in posts:
    postid=p['id']
    username=p['from']['name']
    posterimg=p['icon']
    comment=p['message']
