I'm working on a canvas app and am using the Graph api. There used to be in the REST api a post_authorize_redirect_url for a place to land someone after they first authorize your app (see here for http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appproperties/ ). Is there an analagous concept in current canvas app?
thx
With the Graph API, you use the redirect_uri parameter. For example:
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth/?response_type=code&redirect_uri={URL}&scope=email&client_id=12345
Details available here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/
There is not (anymore). You'll need to track yourself if the user has just authorized or is a returning user. Just check your database for the user id, which you are allowed to store. Of course you'll need to store the id at some point of your app.

In the past, I think a Facebook Page access token could be generated manually, and then used with the graph API to query posts, comments, likes, shares, etc. Now it seems you cannot query anything without developing an app that I login to and then in turn the app generates the access token. Is that true? For example, this question from 2015 claims no access token is needed for public data, but when I try their example it returns "An access token is required to request this resource."
I'm the admin of my page that ran a basic contest (giveaway). I'd like to use the graph API to fetch the names of people that liked, shared, or commented on a post. Then I want to cross reference it with those that like the page. Do I have to register and develop an app for this? Does my page have an access token available without going through the app registration and review process?
Can I access a Facebook Page with the Graph API without creating an app?
No, that is not possible. You always have to use an App for any API Access.
Then I want to cross reference it with those that like the page.
That is not possible either, not even with an App. I assume you want to make sure that participants like your Page - which is not allowed. People cannot be "incentivized" to like your Page.

Explanation about the specific rule against requiring people to like your Page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/examples-platform-policy-4.5
I'm setting the hybridauth to get it working with my login. All the standard things are working but I would like to use this library to check if a user has liked my facebook page. How can I do that using this library?
Is there any one can point me in the right direction with some example?
Thank you
Hybrid_Auth API Doc available you can check the all options provided by hybrid auth, this can be fetch providing "scope" => 'user_likes' in array. facebook hydrid auth example explained here
You can get all the details information of facebook Permissions details are available here
facebook provides access to the list of all Facebook Pages and Open Graph objects that a person has liked. If your app requests this permission Facebook will have to review how your app uses it.
I am using Facebook-unity-sdk to for getting list of users friends.
but i am not being able to get any data.
i also tried open graph explorer to fire graph API
the results were as follows
Is there a way i could use some Graph API endpoint other then "invitable_friends" to retrieve list of all friends of user?
No, you can not. there is no other endpoint.
well.. as far as i understood your question you can do one thing.
Just add a platform(app on facebook) in your app settings, and when it asks you about "Canvas URL" just put any random website URL and save settings.
now check if the "invitable_friends" is working or not.
PS:-
You don't have to run by the rules every time. :)
Can I use the Facebook Graph API without the creation of my Facebook Application? As I understand it, for each operation I need to use the OAuth key. And I can only get user OAuth key if they authorize my Facebook application. Am I right?
I need to get user feed, and post to it.
Facebook Graph Api needs your APP ID which you can only get from your Facebook application. So i think its not possible to post data on facebook without having Application ID.
You can use this tool to dynamically generate an access_token for testing: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
Also, check out RapidAPI here. I've specifically linked you to the FacebookGraphAPI block. Here you can instantaneously connect to numerous Facebook endpoints. The platform will generate a code snippet that you can directly insert into your code.
Depends on what you want to do, for most tasks you have to have an app id... but If you want to get the amount of shares for a certain page, for example, you can do it with no app ID.
I think there is FBML (facebooks mark up language) which you can embed on your site which can handle some basic tasks like commenting or liking.
No, You can't do that as Facebook Graph API needs access token which u can get only by authorising your logged-in user by your (Created) App in Facebook.
How do you query facebook's graph api via the javascript sdk for users that have allready given you permissions (offline access) and whose auth data you have stored, but who are not currently logged in to facebook?
To answer my question, you can in fact do so. You can use FB.api calls and include the access token at the end of the URL with ?access_token=
I'm not 100% sure of the code you'd need to actually do it, but I think one of the key elements to this would be logging in to the SDK as an application, rather than a Facebook User, as detailed in the documentation # http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication
Have you got an example query that you'd like to make with the SDK?
