Facebook Status Update URL

Question

Does Facebook provide a URL that a user can access that will lead him to his profile page, while the “What's on Your Mind” field automatically ends with the value specified in the URL? I need something like " http://facebook.com?status=This is my new status message."

Answer 1

Use FB.Connect.streamPublish , for example:

FB.Connect.streamPublish("I just visited dandu website!"); 

Of course, this means creating an application and downloading the Facebook Connect JS libraries on your website, check their documents for how to do this (setting up can be difficult). The advantage of this is that you do not need advanced permissions. However, the user will be requested and will be able to not update their status through your application.

AFAIK, there is no simple URL for setting user status (for example, Twitter has ), just "sharer.php", which doesn’t accept the status message.

Answer 2

It seems you need to authenticate as described in the REST api documentation for status.set: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Status.set

I could not find another option, and since they require you to authenticate for this method, it is reasonable to assume that they require you to authenticate for any api that allows you to update the status.

Answer 3

I was looking for something similar. This seems to detail what you are looking for: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/

Answer 4

Try this for the Facebook status update URL:

  url = "https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed?access_token=" + oAuth.Token; json = oAuth.WebRequest(oAuthFacebook.Method.POST, url, "message=" + msg);
