Facebook Client Terminal.

A command line interface (CLI) for facebook.

Demo

Go to the emulator running in web browser.
Note: running in REPL mode

Practical command example

Do you want to have a successful career?
Add this command to Cron. (automatically like all your boss's status :P)

node js/cmd.js fql "SELECT status_id FROM status WHERE uid = '#{facebook userid of your boss}' AND NOT(status_id IN (SELECT object_id FROM like WHERE user_id = me() AND object_type = 'status'))" | grep status_id: | awk '{ print $5}' | xargs -I 'status' node js/cmd.js like 'status'

Note: this command doesn't work in the above Demo.

Usage

Setup

Copy js/config.json.example to js/config.json and edit this file.

npm update

Run

A Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) mode: node js/run.js

Just execute a command: node js/cmd.js #{a command you like}
For example, to get your name node js/cmd.js api me fields=name | awk '/- name:/{ { for(i=3;i<NF;i++) printf("%s ",$i) } print($NF) }'

Essential commands

home: get your feed. (synonym for api me/home)

#{object_id}: get the object.

post #{your message}: post your message. (synonym for api me/feed post #{your message})

like #{object_id}: like the object. (synonym for api #{object_id}/likes post)

unlike #{object_id}: unlike the object. (synonym for api #{object_id}/likes delete)

comments #{object_id}: get the comments of the object to the object. (synonym for api #{object_id}/comments)

comment #{object_id} #{your comment}: post the comment. (synonym for api #{object_id}/comments post message=#{your comment})

Low order commands

api #{object} [method] [params]: execute the facebook api.

fql #{fql}: execute the FQL.

Misc

you can use the index in the result list of the previous command instead of the object_id.
for example: like #1 instead of like 123456789
