Facebook documentation is... not informatitve eno

Answer 1

I feel your pain.

facebookapi_php5 is mainly each API method. facebook is mainly for session/auth.

The best place I've found so far is the developer forums, but it is mainly questions without answers.

Answer 2

Since Facebook is always changing their API, the documentation is inevitably lacking and/or out of date. If you are looking up viral information, you going to find a lot of pages that say they have been deprecated.

My most used pages are: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/API http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/FBML http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/FBJS

You can play around with the API here: http://developers.facebook.com/tools.php?api

But in the end, just about everything in those files gets passed through the post_request function in the facebook_php5_restlib file. That's where the curl function is for "posting" to Facebook. You can always capture what's going on in that function.
