I'm trying to search facebook pages with graph api's search method. I'm using restFB- a java library for facebook graph api. When i run this
AccessToken accessToken =
new DefaultFacebookClient().obtainAppAccessToken(MY_APP_ID, MY_APP_SECRET);
FacebookClient facebookClient = new DefaultFacebookClient(accessToken.getAccessToken());
Connection<Page> pageSearch = facebookClient.fetchConnection("search",Page.class,Parameter.with("q","SEARCH_QUERY"));
this search returns around 500 results, and returned pages are country or language depended. I mean when I run this code on a VPS on europe results were completely different.So I tried graph explorer tool like
https://graph.facebook.com/search?locale="el_GR"&q="SEARCH_QUERY"&type=page&access_token={UserAccessToken}
results were Greek pages as I needed. So naturally i tried this
Connection<Page> pageSearch = facebookClient.fetchConnection("search",Page.class,Parameter.with("q","SEARCH_QUERY"),
Parameter.with("locale","el_GR"));
but no Greek pages returned.I also tried a user access token in restFB like
FacebookClient facebookClient = new DefaultFacebookClient({USER_ACCESS_TOKEN});
Connection<Page> pageSearch = facebookClient.fetchConnection("search",Page.class,Parameter.with("q","SEARCH_QUERY"),
Parameter.with("locale","el_GR"));
but again no Greek pages returned. If anyone can help, it would be great. Thanks
