Graph API Check IN

Hi I am developing an application that will communicate with Facebook Graph API to check in user at a pa开发者_JAVA技巧rticular location (only one).

1) I let the user sign in, and ask for authorization to publish/sign into locations 2) I get the token from facebook and thus acquire the credentials

How do I check in a user? at a location ?

You need to have publish_checkins authorization for the user. If you get that you can simply do a post to http://graph.facebook.com/PROFILE_ID/checkins which take several parameters. Please check publishing section of this page.

curl -F 'access_token=...' \
 -F 'message=The coffee is just meh.' \
 -F 'place=PAGE_ID' \
 -F 'coordinates={"latitude":"...", "longitude": "..."}' \
 -F 'tags=USER_ID1, USER_ID2' \
 https://graph.facebook.com/me/checkins

Hope this will help you.

You can achieve same thing in the Facebook JavaScript SDK. You need "publish_checkins" Extended permission in FB.login

FB.api('/me/checkins', 'post', 
       { message: 'Hurrey, At Facebook HQ...!!!',
           place: 110506962309835,
           coordinates: {
               'latitude': 37.4163458217,
               'longitude': -122.15198690595
           }
       },
       function (response) {
           console.log(response.id);
       }
);
