Creating Facebook Page programmatically through Open Graph API

Question

I am hoping there is a way to create a facebook page using the open graph API. The documentation only shows API calls I can make once the page exists.

Currently, I have movie profiles on my site that I would like to create a page for each on Facebook. I know I can just add the Like button and once clicked, it will create the page for me. But I'm hoping to have a programmatic way to do the same.

You can do this programatically but it's kind of a hack. If you include the Facebook Comments plugin it will autocreate the page for you. So if you make a general webpage that takes parameters like movieID, you can make a script that does a HTTP GET for every ID that you have available and all the graph objects will be created.

Like this:

<fb:comments href="www.mypage.com?id=<%=request.getParameter("movieid")%>" num_posts="35" width="340" colorscheme="light"></fb:comments>
