Is it possible to stream the latest facebook post into splunk?

I am trying to stream the latest facebook post into splunk. I can get the latest facebook post using the Rest API app in splunk and graph api. My endpoint url is: https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/<face book user id>/feed?limit=1 . This works and it grabs the latest facebook post. However, it only runs once. Plus, it is not really streaming a post. It is just grabbing the first post on the user timeline. Is there a method to accomplish this. Or should I just find another way to monitor facebook post for a single account.

There's an app for that:

The developer docs will help:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.0/user/feed/

Facebook recently migrated their developer forum to stackoverflow, which is a much better place to ask, if the app doesn't do it for you:

They got rid of the app and I was originally using user feed.

Well they cannot delete the app off of your servers; just keep using it if it is working for you!

I never install the app to begin with.
