Facebook Graph Post object feed Type

Question

Does anybody know all the possible \"types\" for a facebook Post object?

According to the documentation for the Post object (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/referenc

Answer 1

You can find a list for Graph v4.0 here (search for status_type): https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v4.0/page/feed

The type of a status update. Values include:

added_photos
added_video
app_created_story
approved_friend
created_event
created_group
created_note
mobile_status_update
published_story
shared_story
tagged_in_photo
wall_post

Though these are listed for Page feed documentation, but I guess it's the same for others as well. I couldn't find it any place else. Also note mobile_status_update is a legacy one kept for backward compatibility. See this: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/564448573658836/

Answer 2

there actually is (an uncomplete) list here:

API Reference › FQL › stream

11 - Group created
12 - Event created
46 - Status update
56 - Post on wall from another user
66 - Note created
80 - Link posted
128 -Video posted
247 - Photos posted
237 - App story
257 - Comment created
272 - App story
285 - Checkin to a place
308 - Post in Group

and also a reverse-engineered addition here

Answer 3

The documentation (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.0/post/) has been revised. The type field of a Post can refer to

enum{link, status, photo, video}

This contradicts the reply by DMCS, presumably things have moved on.

I should stress that a Post is

an individual entry in a profile's feed.

Given this definition, the type field seems slightly misleading, since it refers to the content of a Post. I believe a Post of type=link is an individual entry in a profile's feed that contains a URL, similarly, a Post of type=photo contains a photo and type=video contains a video. A Post type=status contains any other content.
