POHow to subscribe to real-time updates for a Facebook page's wall
text
Body
copied!<p>Facebook's <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/realtime/">real-time updates docs</a> now say that you can get the feed for a page:</p> <blockquote> <p>You can subscribe to the page's feed in the same way you subscribe to a user's feed - the subscription topic should be 'user' and the subscription field should be 'feed'</p> </blockquote> <p>My understanding of this is that I need to post to the graph API to subscribe as such: </p> <pre><code>curl -d \ "object=user&fields=feed&callback_url=$CALLBACKURL&verify_token=$SECRET" \ "https://graph.facebook.com/$PAGEID/subscriptions?access_token=$OAUTHTOKEN" </code></pre> <p>(This is a bash script.) Here <code>$CALLBACKURL</code> is set up correctly following their <a href="https://github.com/facebook/real-time/blob/master/samples/php/callback.php">example code</a>. (At least I think it's correct -- I can successfully add subscriptions with it.) The <code>$OAUTHTOKEN</code> is the one for my Facebook App.<br> And the <code>$PAGEID</code> is the facebook object id of the page I'd like to get realtime updates for.</p> <p>When I do this, the call appears to work -- no error message. My callback gets called. But I certainly don't get notified when something happens on the page's feed.</p> <p>So what's missing? Does the page need to install the app whose oauth token I'm using? Or do I somehow need to get an oauth token for the <em>page</em> itself by logging in as the page?</p>
