Facebook's New APIs Help Brands Monitor, Respond to Comment Replies

Facebook's New APIs Help Brands Monitor, Respond to Comment Replies


Just a week after launching comment replies on Facebook, the social network updated its API Wednesday to help brands better monitor and respond to them.
In a post on its developer blog, Facebook product engineer Alex Madjar says developers can now set up different comment "views" on posts.
The first view is called "top level comments," which are standalone comments on a post that are not replies to individual comments. Next, "replies," are comments responding to other comments. Finally, the last view, "comment streams," show all comments — both top level and replies — together; this view lists comments in chronological order, helping programmers "get what's new."
Madjar then explains how to get started with the new APIs: "Opt into the 'July 2013 Breaking Changes' migration for your app by visiting the Advanced tab of your app dashboard."
