[FIXED] user's last login date and time facebook graph explorer

Issue

I have search a lot on this site and google to get the last login date and time of a particular facebook user from user id using the graph explorer. However, could not find a relevant article.

I have 20+ employees working in my office and I do not want them to access facebook during shift timings. I have their user ids with me. Is it possible to check when did they last login/logout or performed any activity on facebook using their FB UIDs using a php/mysql or any other way or just by using the graph explorer?

I read some articles that had fql options but i could not try those as fql is depreciated. Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks

Did you meant to use a Graph or Graphic ?

Using a table to log-in when your users accessed Facebook will be simpler.

You'll have to apply a filter to remove results outside the shift timings.

Once you are done with it, creating a bar graphic will be an easy solution.

If you want to use the Graph API, you need to make sure that your employees log-on onto your application and give their consent.

You should check : https://developers.facebook.com/policy before trying anything.

Only use our SDKs to develop and distribute apps for use with the Facebook Platform. You may also distribute any code libraries or sample source code included in the SDKs for inclusion in such apps.

Use simple network functions like logs to collect data.

Enabling a Firewall is better than making Facebook accessible in those shift hours.

If you meant Graph API, it's a social graph explorer. It's meant to show all the relations between the users. I am not sure how far it deviates from a graph, neither if it has some visualization capabilities.

Using the Graph API to monitor your workers might be a grave legal infringement. There are many laws protecting privacy at work. The Graph API can give all kind of information. I would not suggest to use any kind of solution that gives access to some sensitive data...

Logging all the Connections going to FB would be the only choice.
