A Facebook Graph API SDK In Golang

Build Status

This is a Go package fully supports Facebook Graph API with file upload, batch request, FQL and multi-FQL. It can be used in Google App Engine.

API documents can be found on godoc.

Feel free to create an issue or send me a pull request if you have any "how-to" question or bug or suggestion when using this package. I'll try my best to reply it.

Get It

Use go get -u github.com/huandu/facebook to get or update it.

Usage

Quick start

Here is a sample to read my Facebook first name by uid.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    fb "github.com/huandu/facebook"
)

func main() {
    res, _ := fb.Get("/538744468", fb.Params{
        "fields": "first_name",
        "access_token": "a-valid-access-token",
    })
    fmt.Println("here is my facebook first name:", res["first_name"])
}

Type of res is fb.Result (a.k.a. map[string]interface{}). This type has several useful methods to decode res to any Go type safely.

// Decode "first_name" to a Go string.
var first_name string
res.DecodeField("first_name", &first_name)
fmt.Println("alternative way to get first_name:", first_name)

// It's also possible to decode the whole result into a predefined struct.
type User struct {
    FirstName string
}

var user User
res.Decode(&user)
fmt.Println("print first_name in struct:", user.FirstName)

If a type implements json.Unmarshaler interface, Decode or DecodeField will use it to unmarshal JSON.

res := Result{
    "create_time": "2006-01-02 15:16:17Z",
}

// Type `*time.Time` implements `json.Unmarshaler`.
// res.DecodeField will use the interface to unmarshal data.
var tm time.Time
res.DecodeField("create_time", &tm)
Read a graph user object with a valid access token
res, err := fb.Get("/me/feed", fb.Params{
     "access_token": "a-valid-access-token",
})

if err != nil {
    // err can be an facebook API error.
    // if so, the Error struct contains error details.
    if e, ok := err.(*Error); ok {
        fmt.Printf("facebook error. [message:%v] [type:%v] [code:%v] [subcode:%v]",
            e.Message, e.Type, e.Code, e.ErrorSubcode)
        return
    }

    return
}

// read my last feed.
fmt.Println("my latest feed story is:", res.Get("data.0.story"))
Read a graph search for page and decode slice of maps
res, _ := fb.Get("/search", fb.Params{
        "access_token": "a-valid-access-token",
        "type":         "page",
        "q":            "nightlife,singapore",
    })

var items []fb.Result

err := res.DecodeField("data", &items)

if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("An error has happened %v", err)
    return
}

for _, item := range items {
    fmt.Println(item["id"])
}
Use App and Session

It's recommended to use App and Session in a production app. They provide more controls over all API calls. They can also make code clear and concise.

// create a global App var to hold app id and secret.
var globalApp = fb.New("your-app-id", "your-app-secret")

// facebook asks for a valid redirect uri when parsing signed request.
// it's a new enforced policy starting in late 2013.
globalApp.RedirectUri = "http://your.site/canvas/url/"

// here comes a client with a facebook signed request string in query string.
// creates a new session with signed request.
session, _ := globalApp.SessionFromSignedRequest(signedRequest)

// if there is another way to get decoded access token,
// creates a session directly with the token.
session := globalApp.Session(token)

// validate access token. err is nil if token is valid.
err := session.Validate()

// use session to send api request with access token.
res, _ := session.Get("/me/feed", nil)
Use paging field in response.

Some Graph API responses use a special JSON structure to provide paging information. Use Result.Paging() to walk through all data in such results.

res, _ := session.Get("/me/home", nil)

// create a paging structure.
paging, _ := res.Paging(session)

// get current results.
results := paging.Data()

// get next page.
noMore, err := paging.Next()
results = paging.Data()
Read graph api response and decode result into a struct

As facebook Graph API always uses lower case words as keys in API response. This package can convert go's camel-case-style struct field name to facebook's underscore-style API key name.

For instance, to decode following JSON response...

{
    "foo_bar": "player"
}

One can use following struct.

type Data struct {
    FooBar string  // "FooBar" maps to "foo_bar" in JSON automatically in this case.
}

Decoding behavior can be changed per field through field tag -- just like what encoding/json does.

Following is a sample shows all possible field tags.

// define a facebook feed object.
type FacebookFeed struct {
    Id          string `facebook:",required"`             // this field must exist in response.
                                                          // mind the "," before "required".
    Story       string
    FeedFrom    *FacebookFeedFrom `facebook:"from"`       // use customized field name "from".
    CreatedTime string `facebook:"created_time,required"` // both customized field name and "required" flag.
    Omitted     string `facebook:"-"`                     // this field is omitted when decoding.
}

type FacebookFeedFrom struct {
    Name, Id string
}

// create a feed object direct from graph api result.
var feed FacebookFeed
res, _ := session.Get("/me/feed", nil)
res.DecodeField("data.0", &feed) // read latest feed
Send a batch request
params1 := Params{
    "method": fb.GET,
    "relative_url": "me",
}
params2 := Params{
    "method": fb.GET,
    "relative_url": uint64(100002828925788),
}
results, err := fb.BatchApi(your_access_token, params1, params2)

if err != nil {
    // check error...
    return
}

// batchResult1 and batchResult2 are response for params1 and params2.
batchResult1, _ := results[0].Batch()
batchResult2, _ := results[1].Batch()

// Use parsed result.
var id string
res := batchResult1.Result
res.DecodeField("id", &id)

// Use response header.
contentType := batchResult1.Header.Get("Content-Type")
Send FQL query

FQL is deprecated by facebook right now.

results, _ := fb.FQL("SELECT username FROM page WHERE page_id = 20531316728")
fmt.Println(results[0]["username"]) // print "facebook"

// most FQL query requires access token. create session to hold access token.
session := &fb.Session{}
session.SetAccessToken("A-VALID-ACCESS-TOKEN")
results, _ := session.FQL("SELECT username FROM page WHERE page_id = 20531316728")
fmt.Println(results[0]["username"]) // print "facebook"
Make multi-FQL

FQL is deprecated by facebook right now.

res, _ := fb.MultiFQL(Params{
    "query1": "SELECT username FROM page WHERE page_id = 20531316728",
    "query2": "SELECT uid FROM user WHERE uid = 538744468",
})
var query1, query2 []Result

// get response for query1 and query2.
res.DecodeField("query1", &query1)
res.DecodeField("query2", &query2)

// most FQL query requires access token. create session to hold access token.
session := &fb.Session{}
session.SetAccessToken("A-VALID-ACCESS-TOKEN")
res, _ := session.MultiFQL(Params{
    "query1": "...",
    "query2": "...",
})

// same as the sample without access token...
Use it in Google App Engine

Google App Engine provide appengine/urlfetch package as standard http client package. Default client in net/http doesn't work. One must explicitly set http client in Session to make it work.

import (
    "appengine"
    "appengine/urlfetch"
)

// suppose it's the appengine context initialized somewhere.
var context appengine.Context

// default Session object uses http.DefaultClient which is not allowed to use
// in appengine. one has to create a Session and assign it a special client.
seesion := globalApp.Session("a-access-token")
session.HttpClient = urlfetch.Client(context)

// now, session uses appengine http client now.
res, err := session.Get("/me", nil)
Select Graph API version

See Platform Versioning to understand facebook versioning strategy.

// this package uses default version which is controlled by facebook app setting.
// change following global variable to specific a global default version.
fb.Version = "v2.0"

// starting with graph api v2.0, it's not allowed to get user information without access token.
fb.Api("huan.du", GET, nil)

// it's possible to specify version per session.
session := &fb.Session{}
session.Version = "v2.0" // overwrite global default.
Enable appsecret_proof

Facebook can verify Graph API Calls with appsecret_proof. It's a feature to make Graph API call more secure. See Securing Graph API Requests to know more about it.

globalApp := fb.New("your-app-id", "your-app-secret")

// enable "appsecret_proof" for all sessions created by this app.
globalApp.EnableAppsecretProof = true

// all calls in this session are secured.
session := globalApp.Session("a-valid-access-token")
session.Get("/me", nil)

// it's also possible to enable/disable this feature per session.
session.EnableAppsecretProof(false)
Debugging API Requests

Facebook introduces a way to debug graph API calls. See Debugging API Requests for details.

This package provides both package level and per session debug flag. Set Debug to a DEBUG_* constant to change debug mode globally; or use Session#SetDebug to change debug mode for one session.

When debug mode is turned on, use Result#DebugInfo to get DebugInfo struct from result.

fb.Debug = fb.DEBUG_ALL

res, _ := fb.Get("/me", fb.Params{"access_token": "xxx"})
debugInfo := res.DebugInfo()

fmt.Println("http headers:", debugInfo.Header)
fmt.Println("facebook api version:", debugInfo.FacebookApiVersion)
Work with package golang.org/x/oauth2

Package golang.org/x/oauth2 can handle facebook OAuth2 authentication process and access token very well. This package can work with it by setting Session#HttpClient to OAuth2's client.

import (
    "golang.org/x/oauth2"
    oauth2fb "golang.org/x/oauth2/facebook"
    fb "github.com/huandu/facebook"
)

// Get facebook access token.
conf := &oauth2.Config{
    ClientID:     "AppId",
    ClientSecret: "AppSecret",
    RedirectURL:  "CallbackURL",
    Scopes:       []string{"email"},
    Endpoint:     oauth2fb.Endpoint,
}
token, err := conf.Exchange(oauth2.NoContext, "code")

// Create a client to manage access token life cycle.
client := conf.Client(oauth2.NoContext, token)

// Use OAuth2 client with session.
session := &fb.Session{
    Version:    "v2.4",
    HttpClient: client,
}

// Use session.
res, _ := session.Get("/me", nil)

Change Log

See CHANGELOG.md.

Out of Scope

  1. No OAuth integration. This package only provides APIs to parse/verify access token and code generated in OAuth 2.0 authentication process.
  2. No old RESTful API support. Such APIs are deprecated for years. Forget about them.

Overview

This is a Go library fully supports Facebook Graph API (both 1.0 and 2.x) with file upload, batch request, FQL and multi-FQL. It can be used in Google App Engine.

Library design is highly influenced by facebook official PHP/JS SDK. If you have experience with PHP/JS SDK, you may feel quite familiar with it.

Go to project home page to see samples. Link: https://github.com/huandu/facebook

This library doesn't implement any deprecated old RESTful API. And it won't.

type Params 

type Params map[string]interface{}

API params.

For general uses, just use Params as a ordinary map.

For advanced uses, use MakeParams to create Params from any struct.

func MakeParams 

func MakeParams(data interface{}) (params Params)

Makes a new Params instance by given data. Data must be a struct or a map with string keys. MakeParams will change all struct field name to lower case name with underscore. e.g. "FooBar" will be changed to "foo_bar".

Returns nil if data cannot be used to make a Params instance.

func (Params) Encode 

func (params Params) Encode(writer io.Writer) (mime string, err error)

Encodes params to query string. If map value is not a string, Encode uses json.Marshal() to convert value to string.

Encode will panic if Params contains values that cannot be marshalled to json string.

type Result 

type Result map[string]interface{}

Facebook API call result.

func Api 

func Api(path string, method Method, params Params) (Result, error)

Makes a facebook graph api call with default session.

Method can be GET, POST, DELETE or PUT.

Params represents query strings in this call. Keys and values in params will be encoded for URL automatically. So there is no need to encode keys or values in params manually. Params can be nil.

If you want to get 

https://graph.facebook.com/huandu?fields=name,username

Api should be called as following 

Api("/huandu", GET, Params{"fields": "name,username"})

or in a simplified way 

Get("/huandu", Params{"fields": "name,username"})

Api is a wrapper of Session.Api(). It's designed for graph api that doesn't require app id, app secret and access token. It can be called in multiple goroutines.

If app id, app secret or access token is required in graph api, caller should create a new facebook session through App instance instead.

func Batch 

func Batch(batchParams Params, params ...Params) ([]Result, error)

Makes a batch facebook graph api call with default session. Batch is designed for more advanced usage including uploading binary files.

An uploading files sample 

// equivalent to following curl command (borrowed from facebook docs)
//     curl \
//         -F 'access_token=…' \
//         -F 'batch=[{"method":"POST","relative_url":"me/photos","body":"message=My cat photo","attached_files":"file1"},{"method":"POST","relative_url":"me/photos","body":"message=My dog photo","attached_files":"file2"},]' \
//         -F 'file1=@cat.gif' \
//         -F 'file2=@dog.jpg' \
//         https://graph.facebook.com
Batch(Params{
    "access_token": "the-access-token",
    "file1": File("cat.gif"),
    "file2": File("dog.jpg"),
}, Params{
    "method": "POST",
    "relative_url": "me/photos",
    "body": "message=My cat photo",
    "attached_files": "file1",
}, Params{
    "method": "POST",
    "relative_url": "me/photos",
    "body": "message=My dog photo",
    "attached_files": "file2",
})

Facebook document: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/making-multiple-requests

func BatchApi 

func BatchApi(accessToken string, params ...Params) ([]Result, error)

Makes a batch facebook graph api call with default session.

BatchApi supports most kinds of batch calls defines in facebook batch api document, except uploading binary data. Use Batch to do so.

Note: API response is stored in "body" field of a Result. 

results, _ := BatchApi(accessToken, Params{...}, Params{...})

// Use first batch api response.
var res1 *BatchResult
var err error
res1, err = results[0].Batch()

if err != nil {
    // this is not a valid batch api response.
}

// Use BatchResult#Result to get response body content as Result.
res := res1.Result

Facebook document: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/making-multiple-requests

func Delete 

func Delete(path string, params Params) (Result, error)

Delete is a short hand of Api(path, DELETE, params).

func FQL 

func FQL(query string) ([]Result, error)

[Deprecated] Makes a FQL query with default session. Returns a slice of Result. If there is no query result, the result is nil.

FQL can only make query without "access_token". For query requiring "access_token", create Session and call its FQL method.

Facebook document: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/technical-guides/fql#query

func Get 

func Get(path string, params Params) (Result, error)

Get is a short hand of Api(path, GET, params).

func MakeResult 

func MakeResult(jsonBytes []byte) (Result, error)

MakeResult makes a Result from facebook Graph API response.

func MultiFQL 

func MultiFQL(queries Params) (Result, error)

[Deprecated] Makes a multi FQL query with default session. Returns a parsed Result. The key is the multi query key, and the value is the query result.

MultiFQL can only make query without "access_token". For query requiring "access_token", create Session and call its MultiFQL method.

See Session.MultiFQL document for samples.

Facebook document: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/technical-guides/fql#multi

func Post 

func Post(path string, params Params) (Result, error)

Post is a short hand of Api(path, POST, params).

func Put 

func Put(path string, params Params) (Result, error)

Put is a short hand of Api(path, PUT, params).

func Request 

func Request(request *http.Request) (Result, error)

Makes an arbitrary HTTP request with default session. It expects server responses a facebook Graph API response. 

request, _ := http.NewRequest("https://graph.facebook.com/538744468", "GET", nil)
res, err := Request(request)
fmt.Println(res["gender"])  // get "male"

func (Result) Batch added in v1.3.0 

func (res Result) Batch() (*BatchResult, error)

Batch creates a BatchResult for this result and returns error if the Result is not a batch api response.

See BatchApi document for a sample usage.

func (Result) DebugInfo added in v1.5.0 

func (res Result) DebugInfo() *DebugInfo

DebugInfo creates a DebugInfo for this result if this result has "__debug__" key.

func (Result) Decode 

func (res Result) Decode(v interface{}) (err error)

Decode decodes full result to a struct. It only decodes fields defined in the struct.

As all facebook response fields are lower case strings, Decode will convert all camel-case field names to lower case string. e.g. field name "FooBar" will be converted to "foo_bar". The side effect is that if a struct has 2 fields with only capital differences, decoder will map these fields to a same result value.

If a field is missing in the result, Decode keeps it unchanged by default.

Decode can read struct field tag value to change default behavior.

Examples: 

type Foo struct {
    // "id" must exist in response. note the leading comma.
    Id string `facebook:",required"`

    // use "name" as field name in response.
    TheName string `facebook:"name"`
}

To change default behavior, set a struct tag `facebook:",required"` to fields should not be missing.

Returns error if v is not a struct or any required v field name absents in res.

func (Result) DecodeField 

func (res Result) DecodeField(field string, v interface{}) error

DecodeField decodes a field of result to any type, including struct. Field name format is defined in Result.Get().

More details about decoding struct see Result.Decode().

func (Result) Err 

func (res Result) Err() error

Err returns an error if Result is a Graph API error.

The returned error can be converted to Error by type assertion. 

err := res.Err()
if err != nil {
    if e, ok := err.(*Error); ok {
        // read more details in e.Message, e.Code and e.Type
    }
}

For more information about Graph API Errors, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/errors/

func (Result) Get 

func (res Result) Get(field string) interface{}

Get gets a field from Result.

Field can be a dot separated string. If field name is "a.b.c", it will try to return value of res["a"]["b"]["c"].
