Getting Allocations

Problem

I need to retrieve my allocations from Facebook so that I know how many Notifications I can send out per day.

Solution

Use the Admin.getAllocations() method:

$allocation = $facebook->api_client->admin_getAllocation('notifications_per_day');

Discussion

This method supports retrieving a number of different allocations, as shown in Table 9-3.

Table 9-3. Allocations

Allocation	Description
notifications_per_day	Number of Notifications your application can send per user per day
requests_per_day	Number of requests your application can send per user per day
emails_per_day	Number of email messages your application can send to a user per day
email_disable_message_location	Location of the disable message within emails sent by your application (“1” is at the bottom and “2” is the top)
