Social Networks Event Parser
Description: Backend for mobile app that filters Facebook feed for events close to the user’s location.
Client: Private entrepreneur, Australia.
Challenge: Our development team was requested to create a prototype for Facebook that could sort out events from users’ profile. The main issue was that the app had to consider only user’s and his friends’ profiles, not mixing search results with events from the whole feed. The search had to be organized in a simple way by keyword request. In addition, the app also had to use iOS Navigation System to show only relevant results according to the user’s location.
Solution: As a backend system we decided to use Parse.com solution. So the app is able to search and sort events from user’s and his friends’ profiles. We enabled iOS Navigation System to let the app store only relevant and nearby events. It displays you first 10 results of query for “Event” from Parce.com that asks Facebook Graph API with keyword. As a result the user is able to quickly have all nearby events from his and his friends’ feed sorted in one list.
Technologies: Swift, Facebook Graph API, iOS Navigation System.
