Was Wondering About Bringing In Facebook, Google, Events

Tim,
Nice to hear from you again. I hope all is well.

Facebook has a whole API for fetching event details. In the past, we had actually investigated integrating events into JFBConnect. However, Facebook started severely limiting what you were able to do through the API for events. It's now completely read-only (you can't create or update events). However, from what it sounds like you're looking for read access to get details of events that were already created in Facebook.

If that's so, then JFBConnect could help you get a jump on what it sounds like you're trying to do, but the functionality for pulling in events is not there at all. To do so, you'd need to be an admin of all the Facebook Pages that have the events so that you can get a proper access token to read all the details. Then, with some API calls, you could fetch events, parse them and store however you want for display or aggregation later.

Let me know if the above all sounds right to you and we may be able to help get you started on what you'd need to do.

Thanks,
Alex

I'm so sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this.

Access to Events on Users and Pages is only available to Facebook Marketing Partners.

I hadn't seen that note. If that's the case, I don't think you're getting access to that API. The Marketing Program is an application based process where you prove you have clients and agree to more stipulations on your access to the APIs.

You can learn more about the FMP program below along with an application, but you'll see their partner list is limited:

For getting started, I'd recommend tinkering with the Facebook API Graph Explorer . From there, you can test some API calls to the Events API to see if you're able to get the data you need. If you are able to make the requests and calls you need, we can easily help you implement similar features using JFBConnect to make those API calls.

Thanks,
Alex
