Most of you must have heard seen the new Facebook Graph search. I have browsed trough a dozens of documentation pages, but could not find a complete API for this.
I know a very similar result could be achieved using the current Graph API, but it would not worth the hassle to build it from scratch.
My question is: Is there an official Facebook Graph Search API?
As you might have noticed, on June 7th 2019, Facebook shut down its Graph Search options.
Yes, it is a REST API as well. Show activity on this post. Yes, there have been 3 Facebook API's to date: Legacy REST.
The Graph API is the primary way to get data into and out of the Facebook platform. It's an HTTP-based API that apps can use to programmatically query data, post new stories, manage ads, upload photos, and perform a wide variety of other tasks.
Graph Search hasn't even rolled out to the entire public.
We're very early in the development of Graph Search. It’s only available in English today and you can search for only a subset of content on Facebook. Posts and Open Graph actions (for example, song listens) are not yet available. We’ll be working on these things over the coming months.

And developers are now only optimizing their apps to be discoverable by Graph Search
Apps are now more discoverable on Facebook with Graph Search. In addition to showing up in search results based on your app’s name, they can show up in search results based on criteria like "strategy games my friends play" or "apps my friends who live in San Francisco use." To optimize your app for Graph Search, please make sure your app details are up-to-date and that your app is properly categorized.
