Where is the Facebook Status feed URL these days?

Question

I know that it was previously possible to display your most recent Facebook statuses on your website as an RSS feed, but it seems they've changed their setup and I can't figure out where to find the feed anymore....

I saw some people searching for this a while ago, but since Facebook just released their new layout, I didn't know if this might have changed again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

To get your status feed, follow these instructions:

1. Log into Facebook
2. Go to http://www.facebook.com/notifications.php
3. Click the link titled "Your Notifications" at the bottom of the box to the right of the list of notifications
4. That will bring you to a feed of your notifications, which is not what you asked for. This url will be something like feed://www.facebook.com/feeds/notifications.php?id=XXXXXX&viewer= XXXXXX&key=YYYYYYYY&format=rss20
5. Change notifications.php to status.php in the URL (preserving all the URL parameters).
6. That should be a feed of your status updates.

Answer 2

Start at http://www.facebook.com/notes.php and click on the "My Friend's Notes" link. Change the friends_notes part of the url to friends_status, and you should be good to go.

Answer 3

Facebook appears to have killed all the public status feeds in the name of user privacy. The only way to fetch it is to build a facebook application that gets your status updates, and then associating your facebook account with that application to give it permission to access your status updates so it can put them somewhere else.

Thankfully, someone has already done that for us. Just go to http://apps.facebook.com/statusexport/ while logged in to facebook and grant the app permission. Then it will give you a public URL to an RSS feed of your status updates.
