We've developed a FB application that reads/analyzes Insights data from a user's pages. We are having OAuth problems with user who administer large numbers of pages (> 25).
We are looking for a way to automate creation of test users with large numbers of pages, but it appears that you cannot create a page using the API : Mentionned in this discussion
Is there any way to automatically create pages for TEST USERS? This would be a big help for setting up test environments.
Unfortunately, there's no way to create pages at all.
So no, you can't

Currently, the UI team at my company is just passing my Tableau Online embed to their html and they authenticate the user via Auth0 via that embed.
This allows the users in the portal seeing data for any user that happens to be logged into Talbeau Online right now.
Using Taleau's API v3 I've looked through the documentation but can't find a way to give my UI team an example of code in how they can have multiple different users viewing the same site to see their own data at the same time.
How can a Tableau developer accomplish this?
In Tableau, I use their Username() to set row level security.
I am building an application for clients to be able to create Facebook Page in their account using my own Admin Access Token.
I have Standard Access approved for my Facebook application already.
I tried to create a few test pages using FB Graph Explorer and I succeeded.
I ran into a problem when I tried to create a page using Code in Classic ASP, it says Have reached page creation api throttle limit
FR- https://www.screencast.com/t/hTd4RDozov
I tried to search into the Facebook documentation to find out that when I can get out of this error, but couldn't find any response.
Are there anyone person who has got this error before? Or can someone tell when I can get rid out of this error?
Many thanks
Currently experiencing the same behavior. Talking to Facebook support they say the default limit for page creation is 2 pages per month. This number might be negotiable depending on your usecase.
I want to create a facebook business page programatically via their API.
I looked at each of the technologies listed on developer.facebook.com but there is nothing that i can use to create a new page.
After alot of googling i found out that it seems to be impossible to create a page programatically. And i almost gave up, but then i found
https://www.pagemodo.com
Testing their service i see that they can actually create a new one and looking trought their javascript files it seesm they do it on the backend.
After reading some more i found about the new facebook business API ( https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/ads-api/businessmanager ), and i got nowhere with that either.
I am on the verge of believing that it's impossible, but having the working example on pagemodo makes me unable to give up :D .
[Possible Solution 1]
Another ideea that i have on how to achieve this is to
manually create a number of template pages on my account (not published).
add that user as an admin to one of the pages via API [*]
remove myself from the administration via API [*]
edit the page title/description/etc. via API
publish the page via API
For the normal users, it will look like the page was created auto,so this could work. But the problem is that i couldn't find anything in the API to make the [*] operations work.
Any help appreciated
It's possible. You need to get your Facebook App whitelisted to get access to page creation apis.
It is not possible to create business pages via the public Facebook API.
Our client is wanting to have their application actually create new pages on behalf of a user. I've found a couple of workarounds for posting items to pages that already exist, but nothing for creating new pages (although the documentation on Facebook pages is pretty sparse). Any suggestions?
your APP need Standard Access permission from Facebook. Once you have this permission you can performance this action using /{user_id}/accounts, to create a new page under this user. This is my way to create new pages, and It works.
Yes, but you will need to first get Standard access to the Facebook Marketing API.
Is it possible to access Facebook APIs for logging in a user, or to allow a user to become a fan of a fan page through a third party site, without actually creating an app on facebook?
Why don't you create a fab page directly for users to become fans for that page? And as far as i know, you can not access facebook API without API key.
You can't access the API without creating an application and getting an API key. There are a small number of API queries that will work without the user having added an application or even interacted with it but they generally on retrieve very basic data.
There's certainly no programmable way of making a user a fan of a page without using a fan box widget or having them do it directly through the site. This is because the post_form_id value which Facebook uses for these kinds of interactions is only present on pages served from facebook.com and is never accessible to the developer. To allow otherwise would open up the system to all kinds of exploitation.
I've no idea what problem you're trying to solve anyway. Creating an application API key is no hardship (and it doesn't have to be an active application for session-less queries - just create an app and grab the keys) and the fan box widget can be styled with CSS, as long as you follow the basic rules that Facebook has set out.
