## 3. USAGE

### I. Models
Supported apiNG models

| model | content | support | max items
per request | (native) default items
per request |
|----------|---------|---------|--------|---------|
| `social` | last **posts** from users wall | full | `100` | `25` |
| `image` | last **images** from users wall | full | `100` | `25` |
| `video` | last **videos** from users wall | full | `100` | `25` |
| `event` | last **events** from users wall | full | `100` | `25` |

**support:**
* full: _the source platform provides a full list with usable results_

* partly: _the source platfrom provides just partly usable results_

### II. Requests
Every **apiNG plugin** expects an array of **requests** as html attribute.

#### Requests by Page
| parameter | sample | default | description | optional |
|----------|---------|---------|---------|---------|
| **`page`** | `michaeljackson` | | name or id of any facebook page | no |
| **`items`** | `0`-`100` | `25` | items per request | yes |
| **`showAvatar`** | `true` | `false` | Use `true` for show users avatar as image if post has no own image | yes |

Samples:
* `[{'page':'muenchen'}, {'page':'Berlin'}, {'page':'Koeln'}]`
* `[{'page':'muenchen', 'items':10}, {'page':'Berlin', 'items':70}]`

### III. Rate limit

Visit the [official API rate limit documentation](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/advanced/rate-limiting)

Here's how rate limiting on the Facebook Graph API works:
- Rate limiting is done on your Facebook AppId. If your app reaches a rate limit, all calls made for that app will be limited not just on a per-user basis.
- Rate limiting is calculated by taking the number of users your app had the previous day and adding today's new logins. This gives a base number of users that your app has.
- **Each app** is given an allotment of **200 API calls per user** in any given **60 minute window**.
