Search Facebook Check-ins at given place

Question

Is it possible to search and get user checkins or friend's checkins for a given place(lat/lon)?

Answer 1

You can use FQL and the location_post table to find this.

SELECT id, page_id FROM location_post WHERE distance(latitude, longitude, '37.86564', '-122.25061') < 10000

...should show user and friend checkins near the lat/lon.

See the location_post Docs
