title: How can I retrieve the new timeline data from the API?
body: <p>At the <a href="http://f8.facebook.com/" rel="nofollow">f8-conference</a>  Facebook just announced the new timeline view. This is based on the new <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/" rel="nofollow">Open-Graph model</a> </p>
  
  <p><strong>The question is, how is this data retrieved via the API?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Retrieval should address a number of complexities:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The filtered nature should be just like in the online view, i.e. not everything from the ticker should show up</li>
  <li>Even more, the granularity of the timeline view should be reflected just like on the webpage (more detail today, less detail in the past, but the option to dig deeper at any time)</li>
  <li>The <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/beta/opengraph/define-units/" rel="nofollow">aggregation view</a> of app data should be supported </li>
  <li>The cover image should be part of the data</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Right now, it is not obvious to me if this is or will be possible at all.</p>
