Become a fan of your Facebook page through the API?

Question

I am writing an application for the iPhone. I saw widgets that you can post on your website so that users can click to become a fan of your page. However, looking through the API or the documentation, I cannot find a way that you can facilitate "becoming a fan" through the application. I spent about a day and a half uploading through Facebook API documents and the cloud.

Has anyone else been successful with this?

For example, I am writing an application that lists machines, and I wanted to become a Delorean fan from my application - is there a way to do this?

If there is no solution, an alternative way that I can think of is to use web browsing and page binding using a fan widget.

Answer 1

API ventilation is currently not possible.

Most likely, the reason for this is that it would be difficult to avoid attempts by developers to turn users into fans.

The only way is the Fan Box Plugin . You can remove all elements using CSS to leave only the button.

Most applications either use a button or simply link to a page.
