FacebookGenericCollection-class: A generic collection of Facebook elements
In theclue/facebook.S4: Access to Facebook API V2 via a Set of S4 Classes

Description Details Slots Author(s) See Also

Connect to Facebook Graph API, get public information from a list of Facebook elements of any kind and build a FacebookUsersCollection-class instance.

This collection should not be built directly, as it performs no sanity check on its content. However, among all the available collections, it's the only one that can have mixed content inside, so many commodity endpoint functions like facebook.search fill this as return value. But, for the same reasons, it cannot hold fields different from id.

If you exactly know what you're doing you could eventually build an instance of this class to perform generic queries to Graph API, but it's not guaranteed to work and it probably won't, actually.

id: A character vector with the id of the items included in the collection
fields: A character vector with the fields included for each ID in the collection. Ie. id, name, created_time...
