Could you explain me how i get news tickers from facebook into my app?

Question

In my app. i get user's feed and user's news ticker. With first i have no questions, but with the second i have some troubles. How a can access to the ticker using php?

Answer 1

From my experience the ticker is just a shortened version of a users news feed using "story"

Here is a sample batch request "with only 1 request" i use to display ticker info from a users news feed.

user / home https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#home

filtering results based on user lists https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/stream_filter/

API Request:

<?php

$Ticker = $facebook->api('/me/home?fields=id,story%26'.$access_token.'');
echo '<pre>';
print_r($Ticker);
echo '</pre>';

?>

Batch API Request:

<?php

$Ticker = '/me/home?fields=id,story%26'.$access_token.'';
$queries = array(
    array('method' => 'GET', 'relative_url' => ''.$Ticker.'')
);
$batchResponse = $facebook->api('?batch='.json_encode($queries), 'POST');
$MEticker = json_decode($batchResponse[0]['body'], true);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($MEticker);
echo '</pre>';

?>
