Got a issue with Facebook Graph API. I want to read page notifications via Graph API. But Facebook documentation only states about user's notification.

Following only returns a user's notification (the user who provided the access token for this.)

http://graph.facebook.com/me/notifications

I did following techniques. But no luck.

01. But i tried with different urls with access token provided by the page. (with my stupid guess work by replacing page-id for me)

http://graph.facebook.com/page-id/notifications

02. Checked with Insights API. But Insights doesn't provide a straight forward solutions. This is more like stats. But all i just need a list of latest user/fan/post actions in the page.

https://graph.facebook.com/page-id/insights/field

Some background about my App (hope no issues with this as other API's working),

Facebook documentation doesn't help much. I have spent a few day on this to find a solution for this. Just wondering if any of you guys came across this issue and solved. I hope i didn't put a duplicate question here, as i did search for few days on Stackoverflow too.

Thanks.

There isn't a page notification API. I don't believe there is any way to directly query this data.

You can get notifications of changes to a Facebook page using the Real-Time API. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/realtime/

  • Hey, thanks for your answer. I did check on Real-Time API. At this point, to make our app to listen for subscription callback, would need significant change effort. its not feasible for us at the moment. – Jeyara Feb 13 '12 at 01:39
  • Your C# Facebook SDK rocks mate. Very cool and makes our life easy. Thanks a lot. – Jeyara Feb 13 '12 at 01:59

Facebook now allows you to read Page unread notifications by querying the edge: {page-id}/notifications.

See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.7/page/notifications

  • Where do you get the `page-id` from? – GetFree Aug 20 '16 at 02:57
  • Go to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer Get the Page Access token for the page you want and with `GET` selected, enter `me?fields=id,name` and click Submit. It should return you the numeric ID of the page. But as far as I have tried, alphanumeric ID also works. i.e. www.facebook.com/{alphanumeric_id}/ – Dilip Raj Baral Aug 20 '16 at 06:57
  • Is it possible to filter these notifications by a date range? – josiah May 22 '17 at 22:22

From the FB Page docs for the notifications edge...

Notifications for this Page. Deprecated April 30, 2019.

Looks like the only way to track Page notifications at the moment is via the realtime Webhooks for a page, which isn't the same as reading the notifications from FB but it appears to be where we're at...until FB changes their mind again. ;)
