Your one-stop development solution

What can I do with Graph?

• Actitvity Streams

  Activity streams aren't easy. While becoming a commodity in apps and websites, the amount of data and the ability to make requests based on friends lists makes them a Pandora's box for developers. Graph offers a simple solution to that with our Stream plugin and Friends plugin. Install them in seconds and you can immediately offer users with a stream that includes posts, comments, likes and dislikes.

• Social networks

  Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, foursquare. Social networks are at the center of many leading apps today. But to integrate them into your app can be a daunting process. Different API structures, credentials, and vernaculars make developers pull their hair out day after day. Graph simplifies the process. All you need to do is select the networks you'd like to offer and they're instantly available. We even include development credentials so you can get them fully working before having to deal with any logistics.

• Friends & Followers

  Offering users the ability to make friends and to follow other users is a core way of making your app or website stand out from the crowd. Graph enables you to offer these features instantly using the Friends plugin. As your users build their "graph" of friends you can even do things like make recommendations about others to friend or follow. All without worrying about the inner workings of the technology.

• User locations

  Getting someone's location isn't terribly hard. But storing them, and using that data is another story. Graph simplifies the ability to save users' locations and searching against them at a later time. We've built our Location plugin to handle traditional latitude/longitude positioning as well as 2-dimensional "planar" locations like when you're inside a building or a game environment. Then use tools like our integrated geofences and your app/website logic is magnitudes more powerful that just using a traditional data store.

• Social friendships

  Your friend, Jane Doe, has just signed up for Your App. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google social networks are at the center of many leading apps today. Graph enables you to increase usage by bringing users back to your product at opportune times, say when a friend from a social network signs up for your new app. This makes your users feel more connected to your app and increases the likelihood that they'll keep coming back and doing more.

• Turnkey user management

  Graph's User plugin is a simple and painless way to handle user signup and login for your app or website. It offers developers a turnkey solution with integrated session management so all you have to do is create a user (or log them in) and let Graph know when the user is active. In addition, it's super simple to add social authentication to our Users plugin.

• "Liked" items

  Driving content-based recommendations is a crucial part of modern sites and apps. Using our Graph plugin, you can let users know which of their friends have done an action or liked something. This is great for games, shopping, and even reading groups.
