Read Facebook Wall From Console App

Is it possible to read Facebook's wall posts from a console app using facebooksdk on codeplex? I need to read the posts on Microsoft's facebook wall.

Thank you

If you're just accessing this one fan page, you have the options of using Facebook PowerShell Module, this is

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-FBAssociation -id 20528438720 -type Statuses

Easiest path: https://graph.facebook.com/microsoft/feed?access_token={appID}|{appSecret}. Additionally, if you have a user's access token there, it'll work as well. Since this data is public, we only need to know what app is accessing it, so either kind of token will work.

I'm not familiar with the facebooksdk on codeplex, but I assume it can help you generate access tokens. Once you have an access token, simply curl https://graph.facebook.com/microsoft/feed?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN to get the wall of the page.

You can directly hit up https://graph.facebook.com/microsoft/posts to read their wall posts

Check out the graph API explorer https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer to play around with what is exposed in the facebook api
