Is it possible to search for Facebook Live Videos through the Graph API? The Facebook Live Video API is all about publishing video, which is not what I want. I have looked through the search API and there does not seem to be any obvious way to search for videos through it.

What I would really like to do is find a list of live videos in a given area.

Unfortunately, no. Not at this time.

You can get videos for individual users if they authorize your app, but that's it.

  • So how would you request access to an individual's videos? – zorro2b Sep 17 '16 at 21:39
  • @zorro2b GET /me/live_videos – Brad Sep 17 '16 at 21:43
  • when I request /me/live_videos with user_videos permission using graphi api explorer I get "(#100) No permission to perform current operation." – zorro2b Sep 17 '16 at 22:02
  • @zorro2b I think you need `publish_actions` as well, but I'm not positive of that. – Brad Sep 17 '16 at 22:03
  • Make sure, you use a user access token. Not a page or app access token. We were successful with a user access token to request videos from a page. Not from a user, though. – Raul Pinto Feb 08 '17 at 15:10

I have successfully used the Graph API via javascript SDK to view my live_videos using a user token with scope: email, public_profile provided they were created with a privacy setting to PUBLIC (using FMLE). If I create a stream with Wirecast, it starts as ONLY_ME and is not accessible via the API. HTH
