facebook-small-logoAttention! All those developers who were waiting to use  the stream publishing API . I have got good news for you. If you are guessing that now any developer can use the publishing API without requiring acceptance , then you are bang on target. In order to use the stream publishing API, you will no longer be required to have be accepted into the Facebook’s  white list in order to use this API for the general public of the facebook

The call to stream.publish API allows a facebook app to publish updates directly into the specific user’s stream. All this happens automatically once they are given the permission.

In the past, when the API was in Beta, it was a requirement for the developers to apply for getting accepted onto the white list if they wanted to increase the domain of the API call besides the developers of the application

Although an official statement is yet to arrive from Facebook (not announced as we write) regarding the upgrade of the API from the Beta status. But it is confirm that the restriction is no longer existent. The white list requirement has been removed from the Developer Wiki page. Currently the applications will have the power and the ability to publish updates to any user’s stream once the app has  been authorized by the user to carry out the intended action.
