erlang_facebook is a small, lightweight Facebook Platform API client library. It provides several utility functions for request verification and processing as well.
1> [ApiKey, Secret] = ["aassdd112233", "thisisasecret"].
["aassdd112233", "thisisasecret"].
2> erlang_facebook:custom(ApiKey, Secret, "facebook.users.hasAppPermission", [{"uid", "500025891"}, {"ext_perm", "offline_access"}]).
[true]
This library is developed and updated as needed. To request a feature or if you found a bug, please contact me through GitHub (account is ngerakines) or email me at nick+erlang_facebook@gerakines.net.
Supported Facebook API Methods
Facebook API methods map to module functions directly. The list of supported methods can be obtained by looking at the exported functions as per erlang_facebook:module_info/0.
To use a method that is not defined the erlang_facebook:custom/4 function can be used. When passing the function parameters be sure to include a method tuple naming the API method as well as any additional arguments that may be required.
Dependancies
This module requires MochiWeb, specifically the mochijson2 and mochiweb_util modules.
