Hi there,

I'm searching für a way how to automate crating events in Facebook.
We are using Event Booking (from Joomdonation) as an event calendar on our site:
dia-seminare.org/dia-events/termine-vera...ltungen-tabelle.html

Would it be possible to programmatically create an event in Facebook?

Any hints on that are welcome...

Thx,
Stefan

The functionality used to be available through the API for event creation. However, looking through the latest Facebook documentation, they have removed many of the ways to manage events remotely (creation, update and deletion). Now, all that can be done is reading the information about a specific event. This goes back all the way through the Graph API v2, so it's been removed for quite some time.

Facebook Documentation:
developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/event

Alex also wrote a blog post (a long time ago) in his blog post about Facebook Graph API v2. In "The Bad" section, #3 addresses the changes to events.

Probably not want you wanted to hear, but hope this helps clarify :)

Hi Melissa,

you're right, that's noc exactly what I wanted to hear. How could you guess that? :P

But thank you for that detailed answer anyway!
