I've got an developper account, and a page with photo albums that I want to display on a website.
I'm trying to use Facebook Album Browser. The doc of this plugin says that I should create my on app to get an access token.
If I've understand correctly, I need a Page Access Token. But that's where I'm defently lost...
How to obtain it? There is no login action with this plugin, and I'll be the only one using this app. If I'm following the Facebook Dev Doc, it says that :
You do not need to submit your app if it will only be used by you or by a reduced number of people. Any account listed in the Roles tab in your App Dashboard, such as admins, developers and testers, can access all permissions and generate a user or page access token.
I'm the admin for this app and the admin for the page.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.

I managed to implement Facebook login into my android app and it displays the public profile picture when I provide the access token in the link:
https://graph.facebook.com/{userId}/picture?type=large&access_token={ACCESS_TOKEN}
But what about the other users? It's a social media application and I want other users to see the profile picture as well.
Is this even possible after the changes Facebook made in September 2020?
I saw that Zynga Poker has exactly what I want, you sign up with Facebook and everyone else can see your profile picutre as well.
Can I somehow request from the user to give me the permission to use the profile picture piblicly?
I made facebook profile long back and have created it to facebook page for business purpose. Now I need to access facebook API for programming, as per documentation I require application id for using facebook API, I am able to register in facebook developers but while creating apps it gives me below message.
Not Authorized To Manage Apps: This account is not authorized to manage
apps. Please use your verified personal Facebook account to create and
manage your apps.
If I create application id in my personal account than how can I assign that application Id to my official page?
I have tried creating application Id in my personal account but sometimes FB.getLoginStatus() gives response as "not authorized" but some times it gives "not login".
Cant figure out the problem, Can anyone please help me?
Thank You in advance.
You create a the app using your personal account. Then you create a page access token which is explained as https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens
I'm creating a website for a local business and they also happen to have a Facebook page. I wanted to embed some of their facebook stuff on the business website. Here's an example of some of the things I want to do (see below). But, do I need access to the business's FB profile or can I create this without login information? Thanks!
that is called "like box": https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-box-for-pages/
you only need to create an app, and you can do it under your profile - so no need to ask for business's credentials.
I want to create an App for a Facebook page I'm developing but when I click on the link at the top called 'Apps' it just redirects me to the Facebook page. I have tried using different browsers and it does the same.
What is happening and how can it be resolved?
Can I use another Facebook account ie my own one to create the App and then add it to someone elses or does it have to be the owner of the Facebook page?

You have to use your personal account. Only user accounts can be developers – not pages.
(And you have to verify your account with Facebook – either via text message to mobile, or credit card.)
I am a bit confused about the facebook graph api and access tokens.
I have created a facebook user and a facebook page. Now I want to write an application that lets the user post a message on the pages wall/feed. As far as I understand it right now I need an access token of the user to post a message to the pages wall. To create that I need an app id and app secret. But there is no app, there is just the page and the feed. Do I have to create an app? And how would I connect the app to the page without creating a new tab on that page?
In order to do anything whilst acting as a user, you're going to need an App and the correct permissions from the User. Read more about Authentication here
