Links.get
From Facebook Developer Wiki
Contents |
Description
Returns all links the user has posted on their profile through your application.
For desktop applications, this call works only for the logged-in user, since that's the only session you have. If you want data for other users, make an FQL query (fql.query) on the link (FQL) table.
Parameters
| Required | Name | Type | Description | |
| required | api_key | string | The application key associated with the calling application. If you specify the API key in your client, you don't need to pass it with every call. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| call_id | float | The request's sequence number. Each successive call for any session must use a sequence number greater than the last. We suggest using the current time in milliseconds, such as PHP's microtime(true) function. If you specify the call ID in your client, you don't need to pass it with every call. | ||
| sig | string | An MD5 hash of the current request and your secret key, as described in the How Facebook Authenticates Your Application. Facebook computes the signature for you automatically. | ||
| v | string | This must be set to 1.0 to use this version of the API. If you specify the version in your client, you don't need to pass it with every call. | ||
| session_key | string | The session key of the logged in user, or the session key provided when the user granted your application the offline_access extended permission. The session key is automatically included by our PHP client. | ||
| optional | format | string | The desired response format, which can be either XML or JSON. (Default value is XML.) | |
| callback | string | Name of a function to call. This is primarily to enable cross-domain JavaScript requests using the <script> tag, also known as JSONP, and works with both the XML and JSON formats. The function will be called with the response passed as the parameter. | ||
| uid | int | The user ID of the user whose links you want to retrieve. For desktop applications, don't specify a uid; keep the default. (Default value is the logged-in user.) | ||
| link_ids | array | An array of link IDs for the links you want to return. | ||
| limit | string | The number of links to retrieve, in reverse chronological order, from most recent to oldest. (Default value is 50.) |
Example Requests
$facebook->api_client->links_get($uid, $link_ids, $limit);
