Send Facebook Message using Spring Social

Question

Is it possible to send Facebook Messages (NOT on their wall, but a "Message") to friends using Spring Social?

If yes, which API do I use? If there is no such support in Spring Social, what's the best way to do so from a Java application?

Answer 1

The best way out that I could think of is to send an email at the ID : {facebook-id}@facebook.com, as it ultimately sends a Facebook message to the user.

Answer 2

For what I know, Facebook doesn't allow to send messages (and also asking friendship) with its API. So I think that you can't send messages to Facebook in a clean way. What you can do is make a bot that navigate the page on the server side and click buttons without user interaction. But I think that it's not so legal...

Answer 3
