Facebook Platform applicaton
Thursday, July 5th, 2007The Facebook API is a web service which provides a way for external applications to access
Facebook content on behalf of Facebook members. It provides many different integration points and different APIs to an application so it is worth reading Anatomy of a Facebook Application first which will explain the areas an application can affect for a user. Right now its allowing two type of Facebook Application :
1) Website Application.
2) Desktop Application.
I just got experience with Website Application. Facebook has its own FQL (Facebook Query Language) , FBML (Facebook Markup Language) to access over users data. Recently it publish API Test console and FBML test console to experiment with its function and response. You first have to add Developer application to make your own Application. You will find enough resource at its resource section. But this platform still has lot of limitations like request limit, sending notifications delay and they are fixing one by one to avoid those stuff.
You will find all resource, news at Facebook Developer Center
