Facebook Query Language (FQL) is a query language that allows querying Facebook user data by using a SQL-style interface, [1] avoiding the need to use the Facebook Platform Graph API. [2] Data returned from an FQL query is in JSON format by default.
This section needs expansion. You can help by
adding to it. (May 2012) |
FQL was first made publicly available in February 2007. [3] FQL is no longer available as of August 7, 2016, when Facebook API 2.0 was no longer available. [4] Facebook API versions newer than API 2.0 do not support FQL.
In the following query, four different types of data are retrieved from a single table (status) and for a single user ("me"):
SELECT status_id,message,time,source FROM `status` WHERE uid = me()
This query can run by querying the Facebook graph endpoint /fql with the parameters set to q=[FQL]
