I am trying to integrate a Facebook news feed into a website using Facebook C# SDK https://github.com/facebook-csharp-sdk
var client = new FacebookClient("token");
dynamic me = client.Get("username/feed");
I have not been able to find any examples of generating an access token at runtime. All examples seem to be targeted at client apps where a used would be required to authorise the application.
Based on what I’ve seen so far, there used to be a way to generate a permanent access token (using offline_access permission), but as of 2nd May 2012 that approach is deprecated.
At the moment, I am not sure this is even a supported scenario.
Is it possible to get Facebook news feed entirely using server-side code with no user involvement?
EDIT: Looks like there might be a way: https://developers.facebook.com/roadmap/offline-access-removal/#extend_token
Will try later and report back.
no, you can’t do anything with username/password. the user has to enter these into facebook’s login ui and click the button to agree to letting your code do whatever it’s asking to do.
