Question

I build a FB app which does the following:

1) redirect initial request to FB, in order to authenticate/login, as follows:

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=MYAPPID&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/FB/servlet&scope=read_stream&response_type=code

2) in servlet, get the “code” parameter (which is the signed_request?):

 String signedReq = request.getParameter("code");

// the String retrieved from the code parameter is:

3) How to get the OAuth token from this String?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

On the facebook docs it tells you to send it back to facebook:

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/

Basically you do this:

   https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?
   client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URL&
   client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET&code=THE_CODE_FROM_ABOVE

This should work for you normally.
