Does anyone know what are the content limitations in Facebook Graph API?

I noticed that using the API returns less results than the user interface. I couldn't find neither any logic in the quantities nor an appropriate documentation.

There are some posts which, for whatever undocumented reason, don't show up in the Graph API. This isn't new, and may in fact be a feature of the Graph API (some obscure privacy setting maybe? I dunno). Whatever the case, it's not documented.

As far as quotas go, I have apps that have run through hundreds of thousands of API requests in a matter of days with no problem, and as far as I'm aware, there's no quota system in place (at least not currently).

  • When I try go get historical posts from a page it stops at a certain point (empty results). So far it happens for all of my test pages. I manage to get a couple of hundred posts and that's it. – Xyand Sep 08 '11 at 04:36
  • Yeah, I've tried getting all posts from my wall, and there are random chunks that are just missing. It's just the way it is, unfortunately. You could try clicking "download a copy..." on the [facebook settings page](https://www.facebook.com/settings) to get an archive with all your posts. – jches Sep 08 '11 at 06:03
