How do I get public feed from facebook without user authentication on a native/Desktop app?
- by KronoS
I'm looking to get publicly available facebook feeds (i.e. Google's facebook page/posts). However instead of forcing the user to sign into their own facebook app, I want to be able to access these posts.
I've looked into using "App Access Tokens" however since my application is a native/Desktop app (iOS, Android, WP8/Win 8) I'm not able to do this. Is there a way to get publicly accessible feeds from facebook without user authentication?
I'm using the Facebook C# SDK to access facebook.
Currently I'm doing the following:
dynamic tokenInfo = fb.Get(
String.Format(
"/oauth/access_token?client_id={0}&client_secret={1}&grant_type=client_credentials",
FbController.AppId,
FbController.AppSecret));
var appAccessToken = (string) tokenInfo.access_token;
fb = new FacebookClient();
dynamic response = fb.Get(
String.Format(
"/google/posts?access_token={0}",
appAccessToken));
Problem is that this only works if my application is set to "web" instead of "native/Desktop". I get the following error when running this code and classified app as native/Desktop.
(OAuthException - #15) (#15) Requires session when calling from a desktop app
