Facebook Graph API search places by category

Question

I\'m currently developing an Android app that uses Facebook graph API to get pages/places based on user\'s location. I also want to filter the results by category, like restaura

Answer 1

There should be, but I can't unravel how.

This FQL query will get you information about all places near a known location:

SELECT name, page_id, categories, description, general_info 
   FROM page WHERE page_id IN 
     (SELECT page_id FROM place WHERE 
        distance(latitude, longitude, "37.76", "-122.427") < 1000
      )

The categories field is an array with the values id and name. Looking at these results, there are a series of category names like "Restaurant": "Italian Restaurant", "Bar/Restaurant, etc.

What I can't find is a way to add a WHERE categories clause to this that returns data.
