FB: obtain access token for public page reading

1
votes

I would like to read the data (in particular events) of a facebook public page (that are viewable without logging on facebook). I get the app-token, following these steps:

1. https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=APP_ID&redirect_uri=LOCATION

2. https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=APP_ID&redirect_uri=LOCATION&code=CODE_OBTAINED

This procedure only works if I'm logged into my facebook account. Otherwise when i reach the url in step 1, i get redirected to facebook login page. But i want to retrieve these data without logging. It is possible? I should generate a new token dinamically for each user who uses the site or the application related?

You don´t need to "generate" an App Access Token, it´s only "App-ID|App-Secret" (App ID and App Secret with a pipe sign in the middle).

Side Note: The App Access Token works for all unrestricted Pages. If the Page is restricted by age or location, you have to use a User Token of a User who is allowed to see the Page.
