Why fiddle for hours trying to integrate with Facebook when there is already a tool for that. Branches FB API is that tool and will save you significant amounts of time that you would otherwise spend on integrating with Facebook directly.
Branches FBAPI:
- is easy to use
- strongly typed to make debugging easier.
- can be used in any .NET project or language, (VB, C#, etc) from the 2.0 framework and up.
- supports most major graph api functions
- is supported and maintained as the Facebook graph changes
- enabled you to validate users on your ASP.NET site
- removes the hassle of having to fiddle with httpRequests, formatting and cryptic messages.
If for any reason we are missing a graph function that you need, just ask us. We can easily update our interface to accomodate most facebook API calls.
