This is the first time I've announced this opensource project in this forum because until now there wasn't anything GAE-specific about it. You can still use BatchFB outside of GAE, but now BatchFB will use asynchronous fetching on App Engine to issue multiple batches to Facebook in parallel. This is *the* fastest way to pull down significant quantities of data from Facebook.
http://batchfb.googlecode.com/ Here is a quick snippet of code: --- Batcher batcher = new FacebookBatcher(accessToken); Later<User> me = batcher.graph("me", User.class); Later<User> mark = batcher.graph("markzuckerberg", User.class); Later<List<User>> myFriends = batcher.query( "SELECT uid, first_name, pic_square FROM user WHERE uid IN" + "(SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = " + myId + ")", User.class); Later<User> bob = batcher.queryFirst("SELECT timezone FROM user WHERE uid = " + bobsId, User.class); PagedLater<Post> feed = batcher.paged("me/feed", Post.class); // No calls to Facebook have been made yet. The following get() will execute the // whole batch as a single Facebook call. String timezone = bob.get().timezone; --- You can stack up hundreds of Graph and FQL requests using the Future<?>-like interface; BatchFB will group them into batches and execute the batches in parallel on App Engine.
