####How to get the access token required ?

First you have to create an APP on facebook.Then,go get your temporary/short-lived access_token temporary access_token Save that access_token and now and then you need to go to this URL to get the permanent access_token:

First make sure you have:

  • app_id
  • app_secret
  • access_token(retrieved from first step)

Replace this values in the url below and get the access token valid for 3 months.

http://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?grant_type=fb_exchange_token&client_id={app-id}& client_secret={app-secret}&fb_exchange_token={short-lived-token}

Since we are not following a server side approach here, make sure you generate new access tokens and replace them every three months.
