No one understands Facebook's API. I won an fbFund grant, and I still don't understand the API.
If you ask me, Facebook plays it a little fast and loose with their API, and it's hard-to-use and under-documented. I am pretty good at using APIs - Google Maps, Flickr, Beautiful Soup, etc. But Facebook's API has had me up at night beating my head against a wall.
Though, I haven't touched the API in a couple months, so maybe it's rapidly improved.
