Thanks! I'll review this this weekend.

Could you please add a brief description and a link to the relevant
Facebook docs in the pull request? That'd be useful for me and other future
developers looking at the history.

Sorry about how long it's taken me to get to this! Thank you for submitting the PR.

What do you think of making the method get_object_metadata instead of making it specific to the type? There's a lot of other data in the metadata, and if the main purpose of the convenience method would be to shield users from having to know about the special metadata=1 argument, it seems valuable to return all of it. (Put another way, the additional complexity to get the type parameter from the metadata hash if we expose the whole thing is less than the additional complexity to get any of the other metadata fields if we only return type.)

Let me know what you think. If you won't have a chance to work on it I can take care of it next weekend.

I've merged this in as API#get_object_metadata and added a test -- thanks for the idea!
