Can anyone help me to send message to facebook friends using graph api.
I tried
$response = $facebook->call_api("/me/feed", "post", "to=john","message=You have a Test message");
It's not working.
I have the accesstoken of the user in my hand.only I am confused on sending process.

Answer 1

You can't send messages using a Facebook application. You used to be able to do that, but the (predictable?) colossal amount of abuse led to the revocation of this ability.
Provided Alice, your user, has given you the necessary extended permissions, you have the following options:
Post to Alice's wall on her behalf
Send email to Alice
Create events on behalf of Alice
invite Bob (not your user) to said events
Issue a request/invitation on behalf of Alice to Bob
Issue a request from the App to Alice

Answer 2

You could open the Send Dialog in a popup.
$parameters = array(
'app_id' => $facebook->getAppId(),
'to' => $facebookUserId,
'link' => 'http://google.nl/',
'redirect_uri' => 'http://my.app.url/callback'
);
$url = 'http://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?'.http_build_query($parameters);
echo '<script type="text/javascript">window.open('.json_encode($url).', ...
For detailed options see:

Answer 3

$attachment = array(
'access_token' => $access_token,
'message' => $msg,
'name' => $name,
'link' => $link,
'description' => $desc,
);
facebook->api('/'.$uesr_id.'/feed', 'POST', $attachment);

Answer 4

Technically you can do feed or cross feed post with privacy settings that allows only the feed owner to see the post but its not really sending a message to a person.

Answer 5

You can use
HTTP POST with
PATH
https://graph.facebook.com/friend_facebook_id/feed
PARAMETER
MESSAGE = your message
ACCESS_TOKEN = your oauth2 access token

Answer 6

You can send to their facebook email. Facebook email is consisting profile nickname+'#facebook.com'. The email will goes to their facebook inbox message. Note that facebook email does not accept spoofing email. You will need whitelabel domain or use SendGrid.

Answer 7

You will need to integrate xmpp chat to reply a message and to write a new message.

Answer 8

I saw this post and noticed it was not right. Using the javascriot api you can post to a friend's feed like so:
In this example "friendID" is the FB user ID of the friend.
This api call requires the "publish_stream" permission.
FB.api('/'+friendID+'/feed', 'post',
{
method: 'feed',
message: messageText,
name: 'write a title here',
caption: 'Put a caption here.',
description: 'Put your description here.',
link: 'http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2943297/how-send-message-facebook-friend-through-graph-api-using-accessstoken',
picture: 'link to the preview thumbnail',
},
function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
//alert('Error occured');
} else {
//alert('Post ID: ' + response.id);
}
});
So this does it with the javasfcript SDK- the PHP method must be similar.

Instead of using the below code
[facebook dialog:#"feed"
andParams:params
andDelegate:self];
Use the following solution
[facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"me/feed"
andParams:params
andHttpMethod:#"POST"
andDelegate:self];
