I'm building a site that uses facebook connect. Is it possible to create facebook events on the site and invite friends and publish this event on facebook just using javascript?

I've had a look on developers.facebook, but can't work out if the Graph API is what I'm looking for or if that is only open to facebook apps.

• I dont think that you can create event of facebook at your site. however you can publish any thing to your site and you can invite your friends – Awais Qarni Commented Feb 2, 2011 at 10:57

UPDATE

create_event is no longer available from v2.0 and hence it's no longer possible to create events through the API. ref

Here you go:
Required Permissions: create_event

JS to create an event:

$('#create-event').click(function() {
    FB.api('/me/events','post',{name:"JS-SDK Event",start_time:1272718027,location:"Here"},function(resp) {
        console.log(resp.id);
    });
    return false;
});

JS to invite friends, using the invited connection:

$('#invite-event').click(function() {
    FB.api('/EVENT_ID/invited?users=USER_ID1,USER_ID2,USER_ID3','post',function(resp) {
        console.log(resp); // should return true
    });
    return false;
});

Try this:

function Login(){
FB.login(function(response) {


       if (response.authResponse) {
         var access_token =   FB.getAuthResponse()['accessToken'];
       //  alert('Access Token = '+ access_token);
         FB.api('/me', function(response) {
        alert('wele ' + response.name + '.');


        FB.api('/me/events','post',{ 
            name: 'TEST',
            start_time: '2013-06-03T15:00:00-0700',
            end_time:   '2013-06-03T19:00:00-0700',
            description:'Birthday party',
            location:'Mumbai',
            privacy_type:"OPEN",

        },

        function(response) {

             // alert(response.name);

              console.log(response);

              alert(response.id);
              eventid(response.id);

        });
         });
       } else {
          // callAjaxlogout();



        //alert('User cancelled login or did not fully authorize.');
       }
     },{scope: 'create_event,user_events'});

}

HTML:

/*required permissions:create_event,user_events;*/

<button id="login" name="login" onclick="Login()">Login</button>
