Can't publish to news feed about facebook-sdk

[martey]

This might be because Facebook uses the terms "wall" and "feed" interchangeably. If you publish an object to a user's feed (using the feed endpoint), it will appear on that user's wall, and in the newsfeed of some of their friends. If you read from the user's newsfeed (using the home endpoint), you should retrieve their objects and those of their friends.

I am going to close this issue, but if the behavior you are seeing is not in line with the API documentation, please reopen it in case there is a bug that I am not seeing.

graph.put_object('me', 'home', message='message') 

Does not work as well. me/home does not accept POST requests. I tried also the follow code without success:

graph.put_object('me', 'feed', message='message', type='status') 

The code above only published to the users wall.

What would be the use of reading from the home endpoint? I didn't get it.

As described in the API documentation, feed is the API endpoint for a user's wall. home is the API endpoint for a user's news feed. On Facebook, users can only post to walls, which is why you cannot POST to the home endpoint.

I remain unconvinced that this is an issue in our library, but reply if you are seeing differently.

It seems there's no problem with facebook-sdk but with facebook! Here is the bug related to my issue https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/372776119424090?browse=search_4fa341de716671873370467

I agree, it is not a issue in the library. The problem is that facebook does publish in the user's news feed when the wall receives a new post, but all the friends get notified. So I tought it was not posting in the news feed at all!
