Using the Facebook graph API how do I tell if a user is online or not?

Question

Need to know if a Facebook user is online or not. Can\'t find the graph api call for this?

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Use online_presence via FQL

The user's Facebook Chat status. Returns a string, one of active, idle, offline, or error (when Facebook can't determine presence information on the server side). The query does not return the user's Facebook Chat status when that information is restricted for privacy reasons.
