I have developed a web application 3 months ago to show facebook users by searching username. To access facebook, I have downloaded facebook dll and got application key, and secret key from facebook.
My web application was working fine and displaying records from facebook. yesterday onwards, my application is not working fine. I could not get response when I search by name.
I have tested the fql in the facebook testAPI tool online. That time I can get response. but the same fql I used in my appliation but it could not get response from facebook when I search by name. If I search by uid i can get response from facebook.
here is my code-
facebook.Components.FacebookService fb = new FacebookService();
fb.ApplicationKey = "bfeefa69afdfe81975f0d6136ace3009";
fb.Secret = "9b672d682e1d8befd06382953fc2615b";
fb.IsDesktopApplication = false;
//the below fql gives response as xml.
//select name, profile_url from user where uid = 1730923544 -I can get response for this fql.
//the below fql does not give response as xml. But it gives empty string.
//the below fql does gives us response as xml when i try in facebook testAPI.
//select name, profile_url from user where name = Suresh Rajan -I couldn t get response for this fql.
string s = fb.fql.query("select name, pic_square, profile_url from user where name = Suresh Rajan ");
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(str1))
Response.Write("Empty Response");
else
Response.Write(str1 + " <br />");
how to search by name in facebook fql.
thanks r.e
