I work on a project that has facebook pages as one of its data sources. It imports some data from it periodically with no GUI involved. Then we use a web app to show the data we already have.
Not all the information is public. This means I have to get access to the data once and then keep it. However, I don’t know the process and I haven’t found a good tutorial on that yet. I guess I need an access_token
, how can I get it from the user, step by step? The user is an admin of a facebook page, will he have to add some FB app of ours to the page?
EDIT: Thanks @phwd for the tip. I made a tutorial how to get a permanent page access token, even with offline_access
no longer existing.
EDIT: I just found out it’s answered here: Long-lasting FB access-token for server to pull FB page info
