Question

$.getScript('http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js', function(){

    FB.init({
          appId  : 'my app id',           
          status : true, // check login status
          cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
          xfbml  : true  // parse XFBML
    });

});

This results in an error: One or more of the given URLs is not allowed by the App's settings. It must match the Website URL or Canvas URL, or the domain must be a subdomain of one of the App's domains.

My goal is to generate an access token on my local html file. My app settings on facebook wont allow “localhost” or anything simiilar.

Is this possible at all, or do I need a local web server?

Answer 1

I did some more research and I would say that this is the easiest way:

$.ajax({

url: 'https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=<APPID>&client_secret=<APP SECRET>&grant_type=client_credentials',
dataType: 'text',
success: function(tokenstring){

    var token = tokenstring.split('=')[1];

}

});
