Retrieving only those Facebook events that have not expired.

Question

I am trying to get only those facebook events that have not expired (upcoming events).

When I use the following query, I get all events, including those that have expired a long time ago.

FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:@"/me/events" parameters:nil HTTPMethod:@"GET" 

Answer 1

You can use the since parameter as described in

• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/user/events/#read
• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api#paging

if you set the timestamp to the current time, you should only see future events:

 /me/events?since=1417508443 

Answer 2

You can use time_filter=enum{upcoming,past} . for example, if you want upcoming events not to expire yet, send a request like this

/ page_name_or_id / events? Time_filter = upcoming

Thus, you do not need to handle time zone problems, as with the since=timestamp request.
