facepy 0.8.1

Facepy makes it really easy to interact with Facebook's Graph API

Facepy makes it really easy to interact with Facebook’s Graph API.

Usage

from facepy import GraphAPI

# Initialize the Graph API with a valid access token (optional,
# but will allow you to do all sorts of fun stuff).
graph = GraphAPI(oauth_access_token)

# Get my latest posts
graph.get('me/posts')

# Post a photo of a parrot
graph.post(
    path = 'me/photos',
    source = open('parrot.jpg')
)

Facepy can do more than reading your latest posts and posting photographs of parrots, but you’ll have to read the documentation to find out how.

History

0.8.1

• Fixed a bug that caused pagination to stop prematurely.

0.8.0

• You may now query application access tokens with get_application_access_token.

• SignedRequest.parse now returns a dictionary describing the payload of the signed request instead of a SignedRequest instance.

• SignedRequest.__init__ now accepts arguments signed_request and application_secret_key and no longer facilitates for constructing arbitrary signed requests.

• SignedRequest#generate no longer requires the provision of application_secret_key.

• SignedRequest#oauth_token and SignedRequest.OAuthToken have been removed (deprecated since v0.6).

• Fixed a bug that caused some exceptions to be returned rather than raised.

• GraphAPI now supports retries for get, post, delete, search and fql.

• GraphAPI#get is now more intelligent about pagination and should no longer query Facebook for another page of results if the current page has less elements than limit.

Note: This release is backwards-incompatible.

0.7.0
