facebook JavaScript SDK - what is the 'your app id' when you just want to use the SDK for the facebook 'Like' button?

I want to add the facebook 'Like' button to my website, but the JavaScript API is asking for 'your app id'

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
    FB.init({appId: 'your app id', status: true, cookie: true,
             xfbml: true});
  };
  (function() {
    var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true;
    e.src = document.location.protocol +
      '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
    document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
  }());
</script>

What should I put there?

I could use the iframe code they give, but would prefer to use the XFBML as it will allow me to add more features in the future.

Thanks.

Solution

  • You should create your app in the facebook developer section and there you will be assigned app id (application id), that is what you should put in there.
