Stream of facebook updates

I know about the real-time API, but I don't believe it has access to my news feed (yet?) https://graph.facebook.com/me/home?access_token (search for "News feed"). I just want to view all the messages to me just I would see on the facebook site.

I guess I could poll(undesired?) this feed to get access to the data. Just like tweetdeck does every minute. but I am wondering if this is really necessary to access this data? I am affraid that is the only option because otherwise tweetdeck would not do this excessive polling if you ask me.

Yes, news feed still not yet supported by the real-time updates method subscription:

You can't subscribe to these user connections yet: home, tagged, posts, photos, albums, videos, groups, notes, events, inbox, outbox, updates, accounts

I suppose your best bet is to get the offline_access permission and polling Facebook's servers, but I would be very cautious when doing so!

I think what you are looking for is this: https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed but you can only query it using an access token ?access_token= that has been granted with the permission read_stream.

You will allways be asked before an application can do that.

You can see all the different permission types here: developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions and currently granted permissions here: www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications
