Can you read a groups feed in Facebook using the Graph API?

Question

I'm wondering if you can read a groups feed like you would with a user/page with the Graph API? I noticed that on the permissions page there's no permission regarding this, hence I was wondering whether it was even possible or not.

Answer 1

As stated in this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/31043823/5974754, the user_groups permission has been deprecated, and the Graph API can now only access data from open groups or groups that the user is admin of (using the user_managed_groups permission).

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.3

user_groups

Enables your app to read the Groups a person is a member of through the groups edge on the User object.

This permission does not allow you to create groups on behalf of a person. It is not possible to create groups via the Graph API.

Review

If your app requests this permission Facebook will have to review how your app uses it.

Limited Use

This permission is granted to apps building a Facebook-branded client on platforms where Facebook is not already available. For example, Android and iOS apps will not be approved for this permission. In addition, Web, Desktop, in-car and TV apps will not be granted this permission. In short: Facebook will no longer approve user_groups permission for most developers starting from 30 Apr 2015.
