I would like to post to my own Facebook page's wall from my website using PHP.
I have the following:
E.g. I write a blog post, and I'd like to get the name, the short description and a picture on my Facebook page's wall. Or I would like to publish some articles on the Facebook page every day automatically as a cron job.
Could you provide a step-by-step tutorial how to accomplish this?
I've read this article about Facebook Login:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/
but I still don't know what to write in my code.
This is how I send a request for an App Access Token:
$url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id='
.Yii::app()->params['FacebookAppID']
.'&client_secret='
.Yii::app()->params['FacebookSecret'];
The response is similar to this (fake symbols):
access_token=326584076429|ax3-D39YbpDcR9rMRQn_fMvNu_s
What access_token
is it? Application Access Token? How to get a User Access Token?
I tried to use the access token from here:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET&path=me%2Faccounts
but I got the following error message:
An active access token must be used to query information about the current user
So how should I obtain the right access token?
How can I get the right Facebook tokens in my application without any client interaction?
I'm the admin and the creator of the Facebook Application and the Facebook Page.
Step by step
me/accounts
and search thru the resulting list to find the page you're interested inYou can experiment with the above at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
Happy Coding!
EDIT
For getting an access token without dialogs for any user, you can use https://developers.facebook.com/tools/access_token/ to get an access token.
