I want to build a desktop application which searches for the number of people who are currently checked-in in a facebook place, something like an equivalent for the foursquare's hereNow.
I've searched quite a lot in the graph api but i can't find something that can help me. The only relative thing that i can take as a response for sure is the total checkins that have been made for a specific place. Does anyone know how and if what i look for can be done?
Looks like you may be able to use FQL to get up to 500 checkins for a certain page or place ID. But it looks like the "here now" functionality may be left up to you, you may have to only display checkins with a timestamp within the last few hours.
