How to get all posts of a group via facebook graph api
Try this in PHP:
$response = file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/$group_id/feed?limit=1000&access_token=$access_token");
It'll give you a page with a limit of 1000 posts. Convert the JSON response to a PHP associative array:
$array = json_decode($response, true);
// Do your own stuff with $array ...
Get the next page through:
$response = file_get_contents($array['paging']['next']);
Try this in a loop, until $array['data']
comes out as empty in the response.
Until - This is a UNIX time integer used to specify the point in time till which posts are to be fetched (only posts made after that will appear).
set_time_limit(99999999);
ini_set('memory_limit', "9999M");
function fetchUrl($url) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 40);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}
$url_array = array();
function recurse_it($url, $c) {
global $url_array;
$feeds = fetchUrl($url);
$feed_data_obj = json_decode($feeds, true);
if (!empty($feed_data_obj['data'])) {
$next_url = $feed_data_obj['paging']['next'];
$url_array[$c] = $next_url;
recurse_it($next_url, $c + 1);
}
return $url_array;
}
$url = "https://graph.facebook.com/55259308085/groups?access_token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$arr = recurse_it($url, 0);
print_r($arr);
Where $arr
is an array of all the available pagination links for which I used a foreach to loop through all the contents of the pagination.
