What are Open Graph StoriesOnce a person grants your app permissions to post to their Facebook Timeline via Facebook Login, your app can start publishing open graph stories on their behalf. A typical story consists of four elements: an actor, action, object and your app's name. With these elements you can publish stories like: “Hugo read Catch 22 on Goodreads”.

By connecting objects and people through actions, useful data is generated which can later be used to increase the value people receive from Facebook and your app. Open graph offers many commonly used actions and objects, which you can start using right away, or you can create custom stories specific to your app. |
