Facebook Graph API Location Search Type

Hi and thank you in advance,

I am currently trying to send a search request to Facebook Graph Api in PHP, and each time i send a request to the API it returns an empty array.

Sending my request to the Graph Api using the exemple on the developer page of facebook located here

My parameters are the following. Param ( [access_token] => "this is a valide access token that i removed to posted in the forum.", [type] => location, [center] => 45.33,36.210, [distance] => 2000 )

and the path of the request is the following : https://graph.facebook.com/search with the Get method.

But my result is constantly the same, its an empty array.

Is this feature broken, not in service or am i sending the lat long in the wrong format.

Facebook places restrictions on retrieving posts that specify locations. You can only return results for your query if:

  • you or a friend authored the post
  • you or a friend were tagged in the post.

See here for more details: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/location_post/
