Facebook Batch Requests

[mfirry]

I can't seem to be able to find out whether facebook batch requests for its Graph API is something I can do using spring-social-facebook.

Facebook batch requests aren't currently supported directly by Spring Social Facebook. This is probably a good opportunity for an improvement.

In the meantime, you can always do them at a lower level by using the RestOperations interface given by Facebook.getRestOperations(). That RestOperations will already be equipped to sign the request with your access token, so you'll just need to send the value of the batch parameter.

Habuma, I never got any response to the request I made to support bulk fetches by id on the same connection.
See http://forum.springsource.org/showth...ion-bulk-fetch
It would allow a coder to request a whole set of homogeneous items, providing ids as a set.
Not quite the whole batch mode, but at least some support for getting data back in fewer calls.
