I have a user database from facebook. I want to get their data (interests and friends birthdays) using batch request. Now I can make 1 batch request for 1 user. But considering the no. of users in my app is huge definately it will reach a limit.
I want to know if there is any way to get multiple users data in a batch request
I tried the following but it didn't work
"access_token": "USER_A_ACCESS_TOKEN",
batch=[
{"method": "GET", "access_token": "USER_A_ACCESS_TOKEN", "relative_url": "me/friends"},
{"method": "GET", "access_token": "USER_B_ACCESS_TOKEN", "relative_url": "me/friends"}
]
For userB access token also i get results for user A access token
According to the documentation on the batch requests page
The Batch API is flexible and allows individual requests to specify their own
access tokens as a query string or form post parameter. In that case the top
level access token is considered a fallback token and is used if an individual
request has not explicitly specified an access token.
Rewriting your original attempt should be like this
curl -F "access_token=USER_A_ACCESS_TOKEN" -F 'batch=[{"method": "GET", "relative_url": "me/friends?access_token=USER_A_ACCESS_TOKEN"}, {"method": "GET", "relative_url": "me/friends?access_token=USER_B_ACCESS_TOKEN"}]'
The original USER_A_ACCESS_TOKEN will be used as a fallback if there is an error with any of the other access_tokens
