The new structure we will provide like follow show.

✨🍰✨

Usage

GraphAPI

Now you can use GraphApi class to communicate with Facebook Graph Api.

You can initial GraphApi with three different methods.

if you already have an access token, you can initial with it:

>>> from pyfacebook import GraphAPI
>>> api = GraphAPI(access_token="token")

if you want to use app credentials to generate app token:

>>> from pyfacebook import GraphAPI
>>> api = GraphAPI(app_id="id", app_secret="secret", application_only_auth=True)

if you want to perform an authorization process to a user:

>>> from pyfacebook import GraphAPI
>>> api = GraphAPI(app_id="id", app_secret="secret", oauth_flow=True)
>>> api.get_authorization_url()
# ('https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?response_type=code&client_id=id&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F&scope=public_profile&state=PyFacebook', 'PyFacebook')
# let user to do oauth at the browser opened by link.
# then get the response url
>>> api.exchange_user_access_token(response="url redirected")
# Now the api will get the user access token.

Then you can get data from facebook.

Get object data:

>>> api.get_object(object_id="20531316728")
>>> {'name': 'Facebook App', 'id': '20531316728'}

More you can see the code because we still working on new structure.

FacebookAPI

Initial methods same with GraphAPI.

Get user data:

>>> fb.user.get_info(user_id="413140042878187")
>>> User(id='413140042878187', name='Kun Liu')

Get page data:

>>> fb.page.get_info(page_id="20531316728")
>>> Page(id='20531316728', name='Facebook App')
