I’m building an application that is like an RSS reader for public pages feeds. My problem is I don’t want the user to have to login (since I have no care who they are), yet to access public feeds Facebook requires that an app have a access_token. I was wondering if there is a way to get a token “for the app” that allows me to see public feeds.
You should be able to access any publicly accessible page using the app access token.
If this isn’t working, check that your app is not set to ‘Native/Desktop’ mode in the app settings, if it is, the app access token isn’t trusted, because it’s assumed your native app is distributed with the app secret in the binary. In this case, you’ll see error messages implying there’s no access token even when there is, etc.
