  • 0

So I need to get the events for a facebook page (in JSON format if possible). I’m using iOS and I know how to implement the data after I get it but I just don’t know how to get the actual data from facebook.
I’ve tried the graph api but it requires an access token to do what I want. I saw an app that didn’t require the user to go in and allow a facebook app access to get the events from a page and I want the same thing.

https://graph.facebook.com/HardasNailsministry/ <= this works
https://graph.facebook.com/HardasNailsministry/events <= this does not work (requires access token)

So… is there a way to get that list of events without the access token?
Or is there a way to get that access token without requiring the user to allow an app access?

    I got it.

    You don’t need to make the user allow access to his/her account in order to get the access token.

    What I did was I went to my facebook developer page and created an app. It gave me an app ID and app secret. I used that in the following url to get the access_token:

    https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=APP_ID&client_secret=APP_SECRET&grant_type=client_credentials

    Then I took the result and added it to my graph API request string.
