Question

I am writing a Chrome extension using FB apis but this simple code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

    function login() 
    {
        FB.login(handleLogin);
    }

    function handleLogin(response) 
    {
        //if a user fails to log in...
        if (!response.session) 
        {
        document.write('Failed');
            return;
        }

        //searching users by the name of mike
        //FB.api("/search?q=mike&fields=name,picture&type=user", handleSearch);
    }

    //the API key of the application, change it to yours
    FB.init({ apiKey: 'c4a22dc0e8dc317cd80618bb9556e34d' });
</script>

won’t be executed with the error

API Error Code: 191 API Error
Description: The specified URL is not
owned by the application Error
Message: redirect_uri is not owned by
the application.

I don’t have a website nor I’m trying to link facebook to a website, I just want to create a chrome extension for my friends to use (like a little widget which would display contacts news)

Any idea on how to solve this?

See this:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/ and look for the section called Desktop Apps in the bottom.

You need to use this Url for dekstop apps:

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html
