Solution

  • Getting the ratings is a bit more tricky.

    Let's assume you have a FacebookClient with the correct page access token. Then you can start a call like this:

    Connection<OpenGraphRating> ogRatingConn = 
      facebookClient.fetchConnection("me/ratings", 
           OpenGraphRating.class, 
           Parameter.with("fields", "reviewer,review_text,has_rating,recommendation_type"));

    Then you can iterate over the connection. Check the OpenGraphRating object for the methods you can use.

    I suggest additionally to check the open_graph_story field, because with this you can get some more information. Then the request looks like this (for the ease of use I removed the other OpenGraphRating fields here).

    Connection<OpenGraphRating> ogRatingConn = 
      facebookClient.fetchConnection("me/ratings", 
           OpenGraphRating.class, 
           Parameter.with("fields", "open_graph_story{id,from,message,publish_time,type,data{recommendation_type,rating,language,review_text},comments.limit(0).summary(1).filter(stream)}"));

    In this example you can access the fields with the getOpenGraphStory method that is part of the OpenGraphRating object.
