Facebook Access Token for Pages

I have a Facebook Page that I want to get some things from it. First thing are feeds and from what I read they are public (no need for access_token). But I want to also get the events... and they aren't public and need the access_token.

I don't want the user to login in Facebook or anything like that. I just want to push all the data I can from this only page. That's why I already discarded many examples I found here and the one at https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/500/ , because they want the user to login or require some user action I'm not interessed.

What I want is that my Facebook Application have full authorization and access_token to push the data from this one Facebook Page that I own (admin). Is this possible? I already tried many things but nothing seems to work.

I tried clicking at this: https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=150635421702954&redirect_uri=http://MY_URL/&scope=manage_pages&response_type=token&fields=access_token - changing MY_URL to my site's and it requests authorization to edit every page I own. Even not being what I want I clicked but had no access_token in return...

  1. Go to the Graph API Explorer
  2. Choose your app from the dropdown menu
  3. Click "Get Access Token"
  4. Choose the manage_pages permission (you may need the user_events permission too, not sure)
  5. Now access the me/accounts connection and copy your page's access_token
  6. Click on your page's id
  7. Add the page's access_token to the GET fields
  8. Call the connection you want (e.g.: PAGE_ID/events)
