Posting to Facebook With URL?

Social Media
#1

I was wondering if there was a way to post a message to Facebook with a URL. I’ll use this method in the case that the device doesn’t support the Social plugin (so mainly for Android). I have Twitter working by using “https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=<message>”, but I can’t find a working Facebook equivalent.

StackOverflow suggested “http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?t=<message>”, but it doesn’t seem to work.

Any idea as to how I can do it?

Thanks for your time.

You can use our facebook.* API to do this.  You can either use the facebook.showDialog() API to bring up an Facebook like dialog box and pass it everything you need to pre-send it and let it do the rest.  Or you can use the facebook.request() to post on the logged in user’s timeline.  You can’t post to other people’s timelines with this second option however.

Hi, 

I’m using
just the crown in the free version, I have no subscription, and I would ask if I can use this API?

thanks
