I have a facebook app, with 35000 users. How can I get each age_range(it's basic permissions) not during authorization(after a while)? If I don't have access_tokens of users, but all users install and approve my app?
I try
http://graph.facebook.com/{USER-ID}/?access_token=***
but it does not show me age_range
The age_range field needs to be requested specifically:
http://graph.facebook.com/{USER-ID}?fields=id,age_range&access_token={user_access_token}
should work in your case.
If your app was made to run on Canvas or is a Page Tab app, you can get the range age even if the user hasn't authorized yet by reading the signed_request parameter.

I am doing a static web page in my website, in which I am showing the like count of particular Facebook page. There is no kind of login required to see this web page. Also, I don't want to user to login with their Facebook account to see the Facebook page like count.
I have implemented this requirement by using Facebook app token.
API: "https://graph.facebook.com/PAGE_ID?access_token=APP_TOKEN"
But the problem here is, If I use the app token of already approved app by Facebook with some permissions (manage_pages) exists, it works. It is not working for the app token of newly created Facebook app.
I have sent the app for review to Facebook by requesting manage_pages permission, but they rejected the app and said that my website doesn't have the Facebook login functionality implemented.
Since it is not documented clearly, I have a doubt that do the app need to send for review if I want to get the Facebook page like count without Facebook login (By using Facebook app token)? If yes, what permission do I want to request?
Any help would be much appreciated.
First of all, you need to learn what Tokens there are:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens
http://www.devils-heaven.com/facebook-access-tokens/
For your problem, you can just use an App Access Token. There is no need for any permission or Login Review, the links above tell you exactly how to create one. Make sure you never use the Token on the client, especially because it includes the App Secret. Do the API call on the server only (file_get_contents or curl, if you use PHP).
If by "it does not work" you mean that you only get the id and the name, then it´s not about "not working", you need to read the changelog and search for "Declarative Fields": https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_4
So if you want to get more than just id and name, the API call would be like this: https://graph.facebook.com/936299239766048?access_token=YOURAPPTOKEN&fields=id,name,likes,...
I have a website running on my localhost and I want to test the Facebook integration.
I have created 2 Facebook apps, one for the live site, the other one for the localhost site.
They works both, but when I login to the local app, my returned user id is
10204483432301440
When I login to the live app, my returned user id is
1101244663
The weird thing is that both ids brings me to my facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/10204483432301440 --> sends me to https://www.facebook.com/francesco.eandi
https://www.facebook.com/1101244663 --> sends me to https://www.facebook.com/francesco.eandi as well!
Is it right? So do we have on facebook different user ids?
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog
App-scoped User IDs: To better protect people's information, when people log into a version of your app that has been upgraded to use Graph API v2.0, Facebook will now issue an app-scoped ID rather than that person's orginal ID. However, for users that have previously logged into your app, the user ID will not change.
Btw, if you need to map user IDs between Apps, this may help you: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/for-business
Although i would not use this for dev/live. you can use "Test Apps" for that: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/test-apps
I'm developing a Facebook Page Tab App. The files are located on my own server and i've created a Facebook App.
Now i'm trying to access the user's first name and i found different ways to get user informations, e.g. the $signedrequest (for the user ID) or the Facebook PHP SDK.
So do i need the SDK, e.g. for Graph API calls, or are there other ways to get informations from Facebook in my Page Tab App?
Using the SDK i get a lot of errors like An active access token must be used to query information about the current user., even if the user is already logged in.
If the user have not signed in to your app you will not get the user name or user id from the singend request parameter. It will give you information if the user likes the page, is admin of the page and additional app_data.
Using the php-sdk you can use the getLoginUrl() method, https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/php/facebook-getLoginUrl/, to get the access token needed to fetch user name, user id etc.
I have a Facebook App where it can be installed on a users page and then their clients can make bookings with them. As such, the app needs to know who installed the app on their Page, not so much who is currently using it.
I can do this on the web app using signed_request and Page Id. Signed request is not available on Mobile Facebook apps though. Is there any other way of identifying the installed user?
No, in order to get the user's information you'll need them to Login to the app and give you permission to see their data; the workaround you're using elsewhere with the signed_request doesn't apply, because that's specific to page tab apps, and only gives you the 'like' status, not the user ID
Is there any way to get the Facebook User Id of visitors in my website by using the FB API, but without need to ask them to authenticate my Facebook app?
All I need is some facebook-related-identifier, it does not even have to be the User Id, but any kind of identifier that can relate the user to a facebook profile.
Ideas?
If the user does not explicitly authorize you to get some private data from his Facebook account (included his Facebook ID), you can not get them.
I cannot think of a way to get the Facebook ID without the authorization of the user.
Hope that helps.
