Question

how would I integrate Facebook into my Mac Application. I could give Objective-C a bit of a go, but it's going to be in an AppleScript-Objective-C project.

I could.. update the user's status a bit better instead of just opening their web browser and pointing them to "Facebook.com" , I could make my own interface that interacts with Facebook.

Any ideas?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can interact with the Facebook API in many different ways, including submitting status updates as a POST request to the graph api. Their examples aren't at all language-specific. They demonstrate how to interact with it using curl on the command line, for instance.

Docs are here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/

EDIT: Laziness IS one of the Three Virtues of the Programmer, but dude.... Clicking a link is too hard? Well, okay:

Here's how you authenticate your applications and get added as an application for a user: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/desktop

Then here's how to work the Graph api. The section you want is "Publishing" most of the way down the page: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api/
