From Facebook Developer Wiki

Welcome to the Facebook Developer Wiki!

We released Facebook Platform in 2006 so our developers could create applications that allow our users to share and stay connected. Now, over a million developers are helping make the Web more social.

You can build rich integrations that help make the Web more social with Facebook Connect, or that provide a social experience right on Facebook.

About the Developer Wiki

The Facebook Developer wiki is a technical reference for developers interested in Facebook Platform. Facebook Platform is a standards-based Web service with methods for accessing and contributing Facebook data. We've made the methods as easy to understand as possible, and this wiki includes full documentation to help you learn more.

All content is created by the Facebook team with help from our developers, so feel free to contribute! We currently have 1,212 articles. See the most viewed articles.

Attention Facebook Users: The Developer wiki is not the place to ask questions regarding your profile or your account. Please look for the answer to your question in our Help Center -- http://www.facebook.com/help.php. There are other resources there that may help you find a solution if you don't find your answer in the Help Center itself.
