Facebook API to retrieve wall feed

I've never done any facebook development and am working on a project which I only require to pull out wall stream from a certain user. Is there such an API I could use for this purpose?

Though this is an old post, still i am putting in my reply. This might be helpful.

I am using php sdk and here is code for getting the users wall posts (includes posts by other users as well)

$facebook = new Facebook(array(
  'appId'  => '101874630007036',
  'secret' => '2090c8d645ae93e7cacee2217cd3dc0c',
));

$user = $facebook->getUser();

// Login or logout url will be needed depending on current user state.
if ($user)
{
  $logoutUrl = $facebook->getLogoutUrl();
} 

else 
{    
    $params = array('scope' => 'read_stream');

    $loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl($params);
}

if ($user)
{    
    $comments = $facebook->api('/me/home'); 
}

here $comments contains the wall post json data.

Well, if you're happy with JSON, just using the graph API is a good start.

e.g. https://graph.facebook.com/starbucks/feed

Not too hard to pull that down with Python and put the data in a table...

Facebook exposes a generic API. You can write your own methods of accessing it, or you can use Facebook's libraries (if your preferred language is available). Check out the following link to get started:
