Facebook killed Public RSS feeds; how to obtain a Facebook Page RSS with the new Timeline?

ylluminate picture ylluminate · Mar 14, 2012 · Viewed 45.5k times · Source

I'm attempting to pull out a page feed to RSS from Facebook, however each time I attempt to try it, I get an error back in the XML with the following :

<![CDATA[
This feed URL is no longer valid. Visit this page to find the new URL, if you have access: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=<FB_ID>&quot;&gt;https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=<FB_ID>&lt;/a&gt;
]]>

The URL I'm using is:

https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=<fb_id>&format=rss20&access_token=<my_page_token>

I don't have an age restriction set nor a country restriction:

Further, I've tried it with and without my access token.

As noted in the comments below, the JSON URL is indeed working:

https://graph.facebook.com/<page_name>/feed&https://www.facebook.com/<page_name>/‌​feed?access_token=<token>

What is going on here / how do I resolve the problem?

Here are my directions.

  1. Go to facebook and right-click profile image to get URL and copy the ID
  2. Go here https://graph.facebook.com/ID_GOES_HERE
  3. Take the ID value that is listed on the resulting page and copy it
  4. Go here and paste the new ID https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=ID_GOES_HERE&format=rss20
  5. Copy and paste URL into your feed reader
