Post status update to Facebook page (Fan site)

Question

I've seen all the posts here on stackoverflow about posting status updates to a page's wall (not a user's wall); but all appear to be out of date as none of them address the issue with the new Open Stream API. All the research I've done on Google leads me to the same end: Out of date tutorials that end up saying that the current implementation isn't perfect but "hopefully when the Open Stream API is released, it'll be better."

Well, Open Stream is here. Any ideas how to leverage it and post a simple status update to a Fan site page?

Answer 1

Open Stream API's official release was two days ago. That explains the lack of tutorials.

• Here is a good intro into Open Stream API http://developers.facebook.com/news.php?blog=1&story=288
• Here a Overview Wiki Tutorial http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Using_the_Open_Stream_API
• The stream.publish function is used for posting at pages: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Stream.publish

If you specified a session_key, and that session user is a Page admin, then you can specify a Page ID here to publish to one Page for which the session user is an admin.

OK can someone please explain to me exactly how to update a facebook fan page with a post-dated function. postlater.com just came out and now there is all the news about the API opening but it would be awesome if someone could explain this to me in english. I want to be able to post-date my status updates on a facebook fan page (some of which have links). Very similar to Tweetlater but it looks like I have to go through another application. Please help!

To schedule Facebook Page updates to send later try Sendible.com. I think they're also releasing an API soon.
