Object Types

Name	Description
`article`	This object represents an article on a website. It is the preferred type for blog posts and news stories.

`fitness.course`	This object type represents the user's activity contributing to a particular run, walk, or bike course.
`game.achievement`	This object type represents a specific achievement in a game. An app must be in the 'Games' category in App Dashboard to be able to use this object type. Every achievement has a `game:points` value associate with it. This is not related to the points the user has scored in the game, but is a way for the app to indicate the relative importance and scarcity of different achievements: * Each game gets a total of 1,000 points to distribute across its achievements * Each game gets a maximum of 1,000 achievements * Achievements which are scarcer and have higher point values will receive more distribution in Facebook's social channels. For example, achievements which have point values of less than 10 will get almost no distribution. Apps should aim for between 50-100 achievements consisting of a mix of 50 (difficult), 25 (medium), and 10 (easy) point value achievements Read more on how to use achievements in [this guide](/docs/howtos/achievements/).
