What is "facebook-graph-api"

The Facebook Graph API is provided by the Facebook platform to interact with Facebook’s social graph. This includes Facebook users, pages and other objects as well as the connections between them such as links, photos or notes. It provides a direct consistent view of the Facebook "social graph" and represents * objects * in the chart (i.e.: people, photos, events and pages) and the connections between these objects. The Open Graph protocol allows developers to integrate their pages into the social graph. These pages gain functionality from other graphic objects including links and stream profile updates of connected users.

The API is a programming interface for popular languages such as PHP, Perl, Actionscript, Javascript and others, provided by the Facebook platform, to interact with Facebook’s social graph.

More information can be found in the Facebook Developers Guide section, "Graph API".
