I want to check how to handle the access_token. So, I use curl to perform the following queries:

curl -X POST https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token -d "client_id=<appId>&client_secret=<secret>&grant_type=client_credentials&redirect_uri="

It returns a value for access_token.

Then, I’d like to get the list of my friends:

curl -X POST https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends -d "access_token=<token>"

It returns this error:

{"error":{"message":"An active access token must be used to query information about the current user.","type":"OAuthException","code":2500}}

Any hints ?

    Have you tried using the debugger? Debug your access token here, it’ll tell you abou that access token, and if its tied to a user:

    Also, why are you using POST to get /me/friends?
