search command

[edsu]

This commit adds a search command where you can search for a variety of entities:

fbarc search page blacklivesmatter
fbarc search place minneapolis

Searching for user, event, group require your app be out of sandbox mode (approved by FB).

Missing from this commit are unittests (I couldn't quite figure out what was going on with the mocks). Also it seemed like paging of some kind would be useful, and that there was support for that that could be leveraged?

Thanks @edsu. Just wanted to let you know that I'm (slowly) working on this. I'm looking into user authentication to see if it might enable more search types.

@justinlittman no worries. So are you attempting to get your app out of sandbox mode?

[justinlittman]

So I don't really understand the implications/limitations of sandbox mode vs. authentication types. Any insight you have or resources you can point me to?

When I try to search for an event I get this:

% python fbarc.py search event toys
{"error": {"message": "(#200) Must have a valid access_token to access this endpoint", "code": 200, "type": "OAuthException", "fbtrace_id": "HsXItBefHXT"}}

Same thing for group, user and placetopic. I seem to have lost the documentation that indicated that the app needed to be out of sandbox mode. I think what the error might be saying is that a user access token is needed as opposed to just app keys. I guess it would take more fiddling around to find out.
