Integrating with Facebook Events

This would be the most killer integration with Facebook ever. But no I don't think there currently is. Not Gigya, nor FBConnect or Drupal for Facebook have such an integration.

I am not sure that fb gives such an api - it will allow people not to use its interface and they will use commercials. Alternatively, they might put ads inside the data provided (which can be filtered by reading code, so will - again - not be good for fb).

So?...

setup a facebook user account, subscribe it to the group/whatever. use fbcal.com to generate an ical from the events it is invited to. use the date/Calendar ical import into Drupal.

This sounds very promising, thanks! I will give it a try and post an update here.

Description
Creates an event on behalf of the user if the application has an active session key for that user; otherwise it creates an event on behalf of the application. Applications can create events for a user if the user grants the application the create_event extended permission.

If you are creating an event on behalf of a user, then your application is an admin for the event, while the user is the creator.

You can upload an image and associate it with the event by forming the request as a MIME multi-part message. See photos.upload for details on the message format to use and the supported image types. You can replace or delete images in an event using events.edit.

This method does not require a session key. However if you call this method without an active user session, then your application is both the creator and admin for the event.
