What it is

RestFB is a pure Java Facebook Graph API client with no external dependencies.

It was created by Mark Allen and is maintained by Norbert Bartels along with a worldwide team of contributors.

Licensing

RestFB uses other open-source software - see the LICENSE.*.txt files. RestFB itself is open source software released under the terms of the MIT License.

Installation

RestFB is a single JAR - just drop it into your app and you're ready to go. Download it from Maven Central:

Maven Central

Building it Yourself

Just type

mvn package

and the jars will be built and can be found in the target folder.

Usage and examples

We provide well-curated documentation with many code examples. These are all clearly commented and give a good overview of the functionality RestFB provides.

Additionally, you can take a look at the integration tests here on GitHub. Some interesting use cases are exercised there and you can get a good idea of the different features that are provided by RestFB.

There is also the example project on GitHub. It contains a suite of tools that can be triggered via Maven calls. Additionally, for the fetch and publish example, you can find a JavaFX code sample that shows how an embedded browser is used to fetch a user access token.
