OK, facebook hand-picks the authorization for an app (and its associated API access) to become public. They also hand-pick private access to more advanced API features. It's still essentially impossible to create an easy-to use program that reads public facebook posts, since each individual user has to create a developer account. I guess my first post was poorly phrased, but the main point remains that their policy forces the general public to use their front-end, and none other, to view any posts on public pages.
- AznHisoka 10y ago1. your users do not need to have a developer account. they just sign in via your app and you get their access token as long as they are a fb user. 2. i have over 10 fb apps and fb did not have to authorize any of them to be made public so i am not sure how you got that info. you just click a button to make the app public. can you clarify?
- detaro 10y agohttps://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/review/what-is-login-review https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/review/w... lists only "public_profile, user_friends and email" as scopes available without a review, accessing posts seems to require a different one.
- AznHisoka 10y agodo you want users to pipe news from public fb pages like cnn and nytimes? or feeds from private individuals/friends? that permission only applies to the latter.
