Facebook API REST-based Interface
The Facebook Client Library provides you with an easy to use wrapper
for the Facebook API REST interface. All of the API calls are available
under the $facebook->api_client object (after you initiate the
$facebook object). Many of the calls will require that the user has
either added or logged into the application. Here’s an example call
that would retrieve the user’s About Me text from their profile:
$fb_user = $facebook->user;
$about = $facebook->api_client->users_getInfo($fb_user,'about_me');
There are a number of API calls, and a list of them can be found here:
