search posts on facebook pages.
#Demo
#Motivation
I was just learing AngularJS and in my learning process I thought why not build something that might be usefull. So I started building this WebApp. Facebook does not have any proper way to dig through the posts in pages. It often happen to us that we like a post on facebook and later on it becomes really hard to find that perticular post. So this is just an approach to make your effort in finding a needle in a haystack easier.
#How does it work?
My WebApp uses facebook graph API v2.3. It asks you to login with Facebook just to generate a generic access token so that it can consume the API. Nothing more that your public profile details are asked and none of your details are stored in the server.
This app searches through the page timeline using page username and the search query. You can search both forward and backwork. Search can be stopped by clicking the stop button.
#How do I find username of a Facebook page?
BuzzFeed Video's Facebook page url looks something like this https://www.facebook.com/BuzzFeedVideo?fref=ts. So the username for the page would be BuzzFeedVideo. So username for any other page can be resolved from the url itself.
#Use cases
Now for example you want to find all the 9GAG.TV posts on 9GAG. Generally all 9GAG.TV posts have the word tv in the post. So if you write 9gag (username of 9GAG page) in the username box and tv in the query box, the app will search through sets of 25 posts and will show the result.
#Download
You can download the release
Just create and App from Facebook Developer and Replace the AppId in controller.js file.
