For research purposes I need to get all wall posts of the European Commission's Facebook page. I tried it trough this link, but I couldn't get access: http://graph.facebook.com/EuropeanCommission/posts
Is there any chance I can get a list of all posts ever published by the Commission? Or do I need to hand-copy-and-paste them from the timeline? Comments are not needed.
You can't see friends' statuses because of an algorithm Facebook uses to cut down the "noise" on your profile. This algorithm looks at which friends you've had the most interactions with and prioritizes posts from those people when constructing your News Feed.
To the right of the search field at the top of the app or website, you can select whether you want to search posts, people, and photos, among other options. Enter a search term you remember from the post (like "funny dog") and it'll pull up related results.
I just tried in the API Explorer tool and I got the list of posts with pagination links too:
