Receive real-time updates from Facebook groups?

Question

Is there a way to receive real-time updates on your own server about messages to a Facebook group? I am trying to create a service that allows users to receive SMS messages with any messages sent to the group. Is it possible now? No poll?

Answer 1

Now you can subscribe to updates for these types of objects:

user - receive notifications about specific fields and connections corresponding to user nodes in the Graph API. Permissions - Get notifications when your users change the permissions that they grant you Applications. Fields are similar to fields in the corresponding FQL table. page - receive notifications when the pages on which your application is installed changes its public properties. Please note that the page theme is used only to subscribe to changes to the page’s public attributes (for example, title, category, image, etc.). This is the same information that is returned by calling the api chart https://graph.facebook.com/ . You can subscribe to the feed page in the same way as you subscribe to a user feed - the subscription topic must be “user” and the subscription field must be “feed”, Note. Not all properties and connections of a user object can be subscribed to.
