Ever wanted to learn how to manipulate Facebook's API, but you don't really know where to start? Well, what you need is a step by step guide on how to do so! In this article we'll cover the basics of getting started with the Facebook API and what it has to offer. In order for you to be able use the Facebook API, you first have to register a new app. This process is relatively simple and should take less than five minutes. If everything went right, your app will have been created and will now be visible in your dashboard. Once your app is created, you will need to modify the settings of it. To do this, go to apps > your_app > change app settings. Once there, you'll find an option called Platforms. This is where you'll specify the API's that you'd like to use. First, select "Browsers" so that your Facebook API will work inside a web browser (this is the only API available at first). Now scroll down until you see "Facebook Login". Enable it so that users can log in using their Facebook accounts (the process has more details on Facebook's documentation). Keep enabling any API that seems interesting to you. You can always come back here and enable or disable them if necessary. When you're done, click the "Done" button to proceed. At this point Facebook's documentation might seem a bit overwhelming. I recommend having a look at their getting started page and go from there: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/getting-started/. This page is divided in two sections: User guide and API reference. You should be looking at both of them in order to understand the basics behind the Facebook Platform. The user guide gives you a detailed explanation of all the features that Facebook provides while the reference section gives you all the possible parameters and requests that you can make in order to achieve these features. As of today, the only supported API that you can use for accessing your Facebook data is the Graph API v2. This API allows you to read, create, update and delete the following data points: Your friends' data Posts that are made by friends or groups that you are a member of (so this includes "Likes", "Comments" and any comments made on those posts) your own data (you're able to read your profile, browse through your timeline and interact with all your posts) All these features can be used via JavaScript or Python. You'll notice the differences between both languages below: Associations between objects … Object A has an attribute named B. When Object A has an association with Object B, it means Object A can have information about Object B. Associations are always two-way, so it also means that Object B can have information about Object A. For example, My Wall is an object (Object A), and there are other objects (Object B) that can be associated with it like comments, likes or friends. "Friends" is one of the associations that My Wall has. It means that my friend will be able to visit my wall and see all the things I've posted to my wall (comments by me, Likes by me). "Like" is another association; it means you'll be able to like all the things I've posted on my wall. cfa1e77820
