Facebook Graph API - Search for Work

I noticed the "/Search" works only on "Names". How would it be possible开发者_Go百科 to search Facebook user's programmatically, by searching their "Work".

For instance, I want to search for all users who work "web development". Is this available?

Thanks

Not at the current time. The Graph API documentation states that the format for searches is https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=QUERY&type=OBJECT_TYPE, which does not allow for any granularity in search parameters.

Note that user searches do not only work with names - if you do a search for a non-name term, like "programming", you will likely receive results for profiles who do not contain the term in their names. Depending on their privacy settings, it might be impossible to use the API to figure out why they are showing up for this term.

A possible alternate solution would be to request the friends_work_history permission from your users and manually search through their work history. Note that this would only help you search a user's friends' work history (and not all users' work history), and that you would restricted by the Platform Policies on how you could use this data.
