Clarity involving Graph API Permissions


Sorry. Pretty new to this and trying to get a grasp on getting extended permissions/access_token for what I am trying to achieve.

All I need is to pull the public profile feed from someone's facebook page (returns in json format) so I can display it on said person's website. (I was going to parse this information using Jquery)

I think I understand that I will need to create an app in order to do this. Now will I need to create an app from said person's facebook account? Or is that something I can do myself, as a separate app?

Thanks for any info you can give on this.


Solution

  • You could in do it from both.

    However im not 100% certain on if you would need any extra permissions from the target user or not. Because it is a public feed I would think not, but I haven't tried this myself so I can say for certain.
