How do i mention user in my Comment while replying from FACEBOOK GRAPH API?

Question

I am using Facebook graph API, I want to know that how can I mention person in a comment while i am replying to the POST? when i am trying to do it with the format @[ID:NAME] E.g (@[12345:Abc]) it gives me an error like

{
"error": {
"message": "(#1705) There was an error posting to this wall",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 1705
}
}

That is simply not possible – users can not be tagged in comments made via API. — CBroe, Apr 23 '15 at 11:48

As per this post of stack overflow Tagging/Mentioning Pages or Users in Posts via Graph Api

I come to know that you cannot tag user via API.

You can't tag people on a feed using the Graph API, you have to use Open Graph concepts- Mention Tagging/ Action Tagging (based on your requirement)

You can use Open Graph API - https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2012/08/21/bringing-mention-tagging-to-open-graph/
