Facebook batch requests with MVC 4

Hi all,

Im currently building a website that will display status messages of some public pages/accounts. I am using graph api to display status messages on the website. I would like to be able to display these for more than one page/account. e.g. display Nike and Adidas status updates in one call. I hope this makes sense.

I am coding in C# using visual studio 2012, this is an MVC4 website.

Thanks in advance

I think FacebookClient uses Batch method [ Query is on FacebookWebClient].

Try with Batch method as shown in this link

I get this error: Facebook.FacebookClient' does not contain a definition for 'Query' and no extension method 'Query' accepting a first argument of type 'Facebook.FacebookClient' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Dont you get the Query function in FacebookClient instance?

Update: I have installed the facebook SDK and it comes with FacebookClient, so how would you suggest I do it in that case?

Thanks Jaganathan, I am not using any SDK, just httpwebrequest to pass the graph api url then I return a JSon string. I will look at doing it with the SDK then if it solves my problem

Hi,

I dont know which FB SDK you are using. If it is FacebookWebClient or FacebookClient,

FacebookWebClient fb = new FacebookWebClient()

var result = fb.Query(query1, query2,.....);

from result you can loop through & get the result from each page.

For query details read FB Developer page
