php - How can I get all the facebook page by category or subscribe on adding them?

987

For example: https://graph.facebook.com/181017065298015

Page has category, but I can't get category by FQL query like

SELECT categories FROM page WHERE name= "..."

This query return empty set

In the graph API I can subscribe for update only one page... But I need subscribe on adding any page with certain category! I don't found this in API.

There is a way to get this information by using API?

In other case direct me pls on operational metod

UPD: Search page by graph API not allowed by page category, it works only for "name" field https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=Games&type=page&access_token=...

Solution:

There's a missmatch between the Graph API and FQL concerning the Page information available. The Graph API usescategory, which is the "old" field, and FQL uses the newercategories. I think there's no way around this, one could consider this as a "flaw" in Facebooks API design.

Concerning your other question on "subscribing" (you mean liking I guess) all pages of certain category: This is NOT possible.
