    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to retrieve the "Place" field of a Facebook Graph Post object from a Facebook friend. After obtaining an access token with the <code>friends_status</code> and <code>read_stream</code> permissions, I request from the Graph API like so:</p> <p><code>http://graph.facebook.com/[user_id]_[post_id]</code></p> <p>What is returned are some of the fields described in the <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/" rel="nofollow">Graph API docs for Post</a>:</p> <pre><code>{ "id": "1164358582_2458311174854", "from": { "name": "Joe Blo", "id": "1164358582" }, "message": "Is pretty bummed today", "actions": [ { "name": "Comment", "link": "http://www.facebook.com/1164358582/posts/2458311174854" }, { "name": "Like", "link": "http://www.facebook.com/1164358582/posts/2458311174854" } ], "type": "status", "application": { "name": "Facebook for Android", "id": "350685531721" }, "created_time": "2011-11-20T03:23:04+0000", "updated_time": "2011-11-20T12:12:49+0000", "comments": { "data": [ { "id": "1164358582_2458311174852_2962531", "from": { "name": "Sue Candy", "id": "1056617421" }, "message": "OMG I'm so sorry!!!", "created_time": "2011-11-20T03:25:06+0000" } ], "count": 1 } } </code></pre> <p>This is all fine and dandy, except for the fact that when I see this Post within my Facebook stream, it also shows a location accompanying the post:</p> <p><code>9 hours ago near El Reno, OK</code></p> <p>I expected the <code>El Reno, OK</code> Place object returned as a field within this Post, but I don't see it.</p> <p>In the Facebook Graph API Explorer, I've tried enabling almost every permission and I am not seeing any difference in the response (no "Place" field returned). Am I going about this incorrectly? </p>
