I have made an iOS application which connects to Facebook via OAuth 2.0. I have one problem, no matter how much I search through the Facebook API docs, I can't find the request URL for a users News Feed (the feed which appears on the Facebook home page for each user).
I found this URL:
https://graph.facebook.com/ID/feed?
But the above URL only shows the posts that the particular user has made.... thats not good enough. Whats the URL which shows all the posts the user is following (so their own posts, pages posts, friend posts, the lot).
Thanks, Dan.

We have a facebook account. That account 'Liked' 3 open facebook pages. When you login to that facebook account from your browser you can ofcourse see all the posts from those 3 pages on your news feed.
What I want to know is - can I somehow fetch all the data I see on my accounts news feed?
Im not asking how to do it, just is it possible.
I was doing some research, and on facebook.developers they do mention about nodes, which can be users or groups, but it is unclear to me are those groups that I made, so when I login to my mobile app i Actually login with that group account, or they meant that I can get data or other groups out there ?!
Facebook has documentation using FQL queries to GET the users news feed, take a look here
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql
What you are looking for is called stream...
Since the Twitter Framework handles the login authentication, does that mean I can freely post a tweets to the user's wall?
Since logging into twitter through the settings page gives permission access to all games, what if some games abuse it and spam a user's twitter page? If the user gets spammed and wants to block only that game, is that possible?
My game will be doing automatic posts whenever a user accomplishes something, should I be asking for permission every time before posting a tweet? or should I simply post a tweet and hope it's not seen as spam?
You can show the tweet dialog to the user, and that would post it for you. It is fairly easy to do this, here is a great tutorial for how:

I've read over some of the developer material and have not seen a way to have an application send facebook users personalized wall posts. For example, FB users who likes "Mustangs" could receive a post from my application when there is news specifcally about Mustangs. However, FB users who didn't select Mustangs would not receive the post. Is there a way to do this on the FB platform for applications?
FYI - The only success I have had is sending a post to a user which appears to have been sent from the user as if the user is posting to themselves. Only upon close inspection can one find the text "via application xyz" next to the post time.
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
Yes, you can do this with any of the frameworks. See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sdks/ Also study up on the Graph API (pay attention to the from attribute of a feed item, testing it out using the graph API Exporer: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
I am an iOS developer and I am writing an app which needs to take statuses from my Facebook page and and display them in my app.
Does the Facebook API support that?
If it does, can anyone give a link for some tutorials or explain how can I make this?
I know that API supports an RSS feed but i don't found how to feed my statuses.
If you're using a Facebook page, you can easily use the graph API to query for posts made by that page. For example, for Starbucks:
http://graph.facebook.com/Starbucks/posts
You can simply load this in your browser to see the format the data comes back in, and all that's needed to access this data is a simple HTTP request. You can replace Starbucks with your Page's ID or username to get your Page's posts. These come back in JSON, which should be fairly easy to handle on your end.
Yes, the Facebook Graph API allows you to access your profile and extract any information you'd like from it.
I need to know as to how to implement oAuth in an iphone application.
I have already gone through lot many posts but none of them shows as to How to retrieve tweets from a user profile (like we access facebook wallposts). I tried using an example named bengottlieb/Twitter-OAuth-iPhone but all it does is show the Login prompt and posts a sample Twit at my Twitter profile.
I need to make an application where
the user can view twits for a particular page (same as accessing the wall post for a Page)
Post tweets that will appear on his profile or if possible then also at the profile page for given ID
I was able to fetch the tweets for a particular id using http://search.twitter.com/search.json?ID but may be due to closing of Basic authentication it does not return to me tweets older than a specific time period.
The Twitter search API is not meant to retrieve the tweets from one particular user, even though it does seem to work (up to a certain point back in time). As far as I know the search API does not need authentication, so you're not in trouble regarding the deprecation of Basic authentication there.
To retrieve the tweets for a user, you need to retrieve their timeline. Be sure to use OAuth authentication, as indeed Basic authentication no longer works now.
Check out http://dev.twitter.com/ for more information. The API is documented quite well. You mention basic authentication, so perhaps you could start with http://dev.twitter.com/pages/basic_to_oauth to get you going?
