copied!<p>Absolutely you can get older posts from Graph API; there is no limit (at least not that I am aware of). Use the <code>since</code> and <code>until</code> parameters to page back through results, instead of <code>offset</code>:</p> <pre><code>https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed?access_token=[token]&until=1165474447 </code></pre> <p><a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/">Documentation</a> for <strong>Paging</strong> doesn't go very in-depth on <code>since</code> and <code>until</code>:</p> <blockquote> <p>When querying connections, there are several useful parameters that enable you to filter and page through connection data:</p> <ul> <li>limit, offset: <a href="https://graph.facebook.com/me/likes?limit=3">https://graph.facebook.com/me/likes?limit=3</a>`</li> <li>until, since (a unix timestamp or any date accepted by <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php">strtotime</a>):<br> <a href="https://graph.facebook.com/search?until=yesterday&q=orange">https://graph.facebook.com/search?until=yesterday&q=orange</a></li> </ul> </blockquote> <p>But basically, <code>until</code> is like saying "Give me posts up until this date", and since is similar, "Give me posts since this date". So you can scroll all the way back through a user's feed using a loop something like this:</p> <pre><code>// pseudocode timestamp = now do { posts = graph.get(/me/feed?until=timestamp) if posts.length == 0: break; // process posts timestamp = posts[0].created_time // first should be the oldest, in theory } while (1) </code></pre> <p>Replace <code>until</code> with <code>since</code> and oldest <code>created_time</code> with the newest to go forwards in time, e.g. to grab any newer posts since the last time the user ran the app.</p>
