It's fairly straight forward to add facebook functionality to a website/app, there's lots of apis floating around, or you can just talk to fb directly. Be aware their API does change over time. I'm not sure how good they are at maintaining backwards compatibility. My experience is in external

Hi Ben, if you put the keys on your server, can't they be sniffed anyway or am i missing something? tnx H On 31-5-2012 17:33, Ben Sand wrote: It's fairly straight forward to add facebook functionality to a website/app, there's lots of apis floating around, or you can just talk to fb

The idea is obviously to let your server be the one who asks the Facebook servers for the data, meaning that the only possible attack points are the server itself and the connection. If your server is compromised then you have fail security. If the connection is compromised then SSL failed. SSL is

Hi Henrik, not to hijack Paul's thread, but do you have some more info on this subject. Eg the client would need some way to uniquely id itself to the server, lest the server give out this data to anyone which is kind of the same as making your api key public?. The client could be decompiled

Hi Paul, The process is't that complex, the api's are pretty strait forward. You can check out: http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/ From here you also have some links to the dev center from adobe, they dedicated an whole section to Facebook. The docs and tuts will get you up to

Hi Paul, I faced the same problem a while ago and found the whole facebook mumbojumbo pretty hard to wrap my head around, opengraphs, graph api etc. The project was cancelled so I was off the hook, but I spent about a week reading facebook's docs none the wiser, so I don't exactly share

If by dinosaur you mean you haven't done Facebook since the REST API was retired, transitioning to Graph isn't a big deal if you're not rolling your own but using one of the SDKs - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sdks/ or the AS3 SDK Sydney pointed to. If you mean you're completely new to

hey, the graph api isn't such a hard thing to get your head around, it would be absolutely fantastic if it only worked how it was documented ;) the new(ish) as3 api that has been linked on here is a lot easier to use than the OAuth ports that were around before. this is really handy

Hi, What Sidney pointed out is right. The facebook-adobe-actionscript-api coupled with Adobe dev tutorials is a good way to initiate the task. Later on, once you get the hang of it, you can start looking at the Javascript SDK and how the AS3 sdk wraps all its functionality. -Rohit On Thu, May
