I'm using facebook Graph API explorer( https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer ) and I am pretty sure something is not going well there. I am using the query " search?q=Bucharest&type=event&since=1486478766&until=1487342766 " . The first page returns events as expected. But when I am trying to access "next" pages(pagination) I am getting the same results, with the same ID, description etc. I also noticed that there are more public events with "Bucharest" in metadata in this period but Graph API isn't returning them. Is there a Graph API bug or it's me doing something wrong ?

  • As the documentation explains, this searches in the event name only - not in any other meta data. – CBroe Feb 10 '17 at 11:59
  • For the query above it also returns events with the query not included in the event name – Ciobanu Razvan Feb 10 '17 at 12:08
  • Well then maybe it searches _some_ other fields too (like f.e. the name of the page/place). But you can not expect it to search inside the complete “meta data” (whatever that actually is supposed to encompass). Graph API search functionality is very rudimentary. – CBroe Feb 10 '17 at 12:09
  • So, graph API isn't a good idea for a full public events fetch? Any alternatives? – Ciobanu Razvan Feb 10 '17 at 12:12
  • No, not really. – CBroe Feb 10 '17 at 12:14
