Talk:Using Activity Streams

From Facebook Developer Wiki

Hey guys Congrats !

A couple of things:

  • There is no element "thumbnail" it should be link rel="preview" following the atom media spec.
  • There is no object type "status" it should be "note" but I can see how in FB world being specific to status is helpful. You should bring this up for review.
  • There is no element "caption"
  • You are not really supposed to have 2 entries with different object types in the feed like the example of photo and note should be activity:target. However I have discussed with Martin to allow objects with distinct object types and just allow a role. See

Discussion on ActivityStrea.ms Group

We have just spent this week reviewing the MySpace feed for compliance so I have this items on my mind. Enjoy !

I am missing options to filter the stream one gets using activity streams. I only want to read out the user's wall, and not all news of a user's friends, for example. It seems that these options exist in the ordinary stream API but not for activity streams in ATOM format...

Yes, the APIs and FQL give you more filtering control than the activity streams feed. If you want, you can file a feature request asking for this. Thanks, Pete -- 563683308 17:48, 26 October 2009 (PDT)
