Community

Path /community

Alternative path /company

Represents your Workplace community. The /community node (or /company, which works interchangeably) returns a single community object of type Group. For API convenience, you can think of the root community object as a root Group for the other groups or communities.

You can find your Community ID by making a Graph API GET call to graph.facebook.com/community with a custom integration access token.

In some cases, a root community can also contain other communities, which will be appear on the /groups edge of the root community. Child communities of a root community can be distinguished from child groups by the is_community field.

The existance of one or more communities inside a root community identifies that this Workplace instance is community-enabled.

These child communities can be queried in turn on their /groups edge to get the groups within that community. In all cases the /groups edge will only show direct descendants of that community; recursion will not be performed.

Communities cannot be created via the API, but members can be managed in the same way as group members are.
