Access to News Feed is required to pull content.
Posting is required for sharing.
Access data at any time allows you to stay connected so you don't have to sign in with facebook every time you go to the site.
- mootothemax 16y agoAccess to News Feed is required to pull content. I thought you could do it all via the Open Graph API /links/ feed? Or am I missing something? :)
- sanj 16y agoThis is incredibly misleading. 1. You don't need access to my newsfeed to grab PUBLIC posts to my newsfeed, only private ones. 2. Posting is NOT required for sharing, only for "sharing" without the user's explicit permission. You can always use stream.publish, show a FB lightbox and share. Or user share.php. 3. You don't need to "login to FB every time you go to the site". An app can re-up the access token if there is a logged in Facebook account. If there isn't, you can ask the user to login. Again, this is typically used to pull data when you're not logged into FB at all. Shady.
- mcs 16y ago"sharing without the user's explicit permission" is what happens when you click "I like it too!". A popup detracts from the user experience.
