title: facebook graph api limit parameter
body: <p>I am writing an application that needs to retrieve all posts on any given facebook page. For the McDonald's page, I would use this url:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://graph.facebook.com/McDonalds/posts?access_token=xxx&amp;limit=5000" rel="nofollow">https://graph.facebook.com/McDonalds/posts?access_token=xxx&amp;limit=5000</a></p>
  
  <p>The problem is that first, I do not receive any posts older than 2011-11-01 and the number of posts shown is much less than 5000. This means that the limit parameter isn't working properly. I looked this up and found that it was a known bug.</p>
  
  <p>Then I tried to follow the next and previous paging information provided in the end and even using that I can't get past 2011-01-24. After following the next link 2 times, an empty page comes up. The McDonalds page is much older and contains more posts. So the question is, how on earth am I supposed to retrieve older posts. Is there any workaround at all?</p>
