How to add a Facebook Event with new Graph API

Question

I am trying to create an event using Facebooks api. (From a django app) Has anyone created an event with the new graph api?

Answer 1

To Create Event you can use below code: (Which require create_event permission to achieve your requirement)

update_url = "https://graph.facebook.com//events"
form_fields = {
   "access_token": "Your Access Token",
   "start_time" : "1272718027",
   "location" : "someplace",
   "name" : "New Test Event Using Graph API"
}
temp = {}
for k, v in form_fields.iteritems():
  temp[k] = unicode(v).encode('utf-8')

form_data = urllib.urlencode(temp)
res = urlfetch.fetch(url=update_url,
                     payload=form_data,
                     method=urlfetch.POST,
                     headers={'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'})
result = json.loads(res.content)
if result.get('id', False):
   "Successfully Created Event"
else:
   "Failure"
