Re: Free Facebook Likes Without Access Token
Gro Bert
I need to get the facebook page like count without user login. I want to show the count on my webpage. I don't want an FB Button, need to show the count only. I saw that several people are using graph api, But I think it requires an accesstoken, so it also required to login by the user. I don't want that kind of stuffs. Guys help me with a solution. I will also trying, if I get a solution before, will comment here.
I've never used Facebook's Graph API, or OAuth. I'm simply trying to get a public Facebook page's feed using the Graph API, but it requires an access token. I don't want to hassle the users to login and allow access to get their token. A Facebook app access token could be used to get a public feed, but I'm trying to do this entirely in Javascript, so I can't use the app secret to do so. I read somewhere that a Facebook app access token doesn't ever expire or change unless I manually reset the secret. Is this true? Would it be safe to just hard code in the Access Token? If not, is there some way I could authenticate an app to get the token without having to involve a user? Is there some type of generic app token I could use?
If you want to use page feed (like your own page feed) in an app for showing it to others. Just use your own access_token to get it.
BUT! as it's not considered as a good practice you can also login with the Page or Application and use their access_token.
