By any chance, does anyone have any experience interfacing Rev with Facebook's API to make posts programmatically?
Thanks,
Pete

Hmmm... yeah... I did this, Pete, but when I finished my tutorial about it, FB had already changed the API and my tutorial was obsolete. In fact, FB changed the API twice while I was writing.

shadowslash,

As far as I know, they keep working, but they may be unable to post messages.

Hi Mark,
Can you tell me what was involved with interfacing with Facebook, or perhaps point me to your tutorial (I know it's out of date but might give me a general ida of what' needs to be done)? Did it require non-Rev code or could you do it all from within Rev?
Thanks,
Pete

Alright, I have put the article at http://qurl.tk/au but keep in mind that it is not current.

Will do Mark, thanks. Just looking for something to point me in the right direction to start.
