Facebook Graph API Wrapper written in Elixir. (documentation)
Add facebook.ex as a dependency in your mix.exs
file.
defp deps do
[{:facebook, "~> 0.16.0"}]
end
After you are done, run this in your shell to fetch the new dependency:
$ mix deps.get
- Register an application on developer.facebook.com
- Get the
App ID
from the settings page of your registered application
Then you can get started with code.
Start an iex shell in your project folder:
$ iex -S mix
Then try some API calls:
iex(1)> Facebook.me("first_name", "ACCESSTOKEN")
{:ok, %{"first_name" => "Michael"}} # <--- that's the return value
iex(2)> Facebook.object_count(:likes, "262588213843476_801732539929038", "ACCESSTOKEN")
{:ok, 48} # <--- that's the return value
We encourage contribution from anyone! If you've got an improvement to the documentation or feature you've implemented, please open a pull request.
This project uses credo for code analysis. Running mix credo
will give you a nice output which will tell you if any of the changes you've made aren't consistent with the rest of our codebase.
The Facebook Graph API is fairly large and as such we're not using every facet of it, so if you're not seeing an edge that is handled, please report an issue.
