how to search for pages with koala

I'm trying to using Koala gem to search for facebook page, like this

@graph.get_connection('search', movie_name)

but I got this /Users/luizeduardo/.rbenv/versions/2.2.3/lib/ruby/2.2.0/uri/generic.rb:1100:in rescue in merge': bad URI(is not URI?): /search/Jurassic World (URI::InvalidURIError)

Seems like I'm using the wrong method OR this is not possible

Solution

  • Have a look at

    You can also search for users/pages/events/groups for the keyword of your choice:

    # http://graph.facebook.com/search?q=koala&type=place
@graph.get_connection('search', type: :place)
# => [{"category"=>"Attractions/things to do", ...
#     "name"=>"Maru Koala & Animal Park"}]}

    In your case this would mean

    @graph.get_connection('search', type: :page)

    IMHO...
