Authentication

  • Access token is required.

  • “manage_pages” permission is optional.

If the “manage_pages” permission has been granted, this connection also yields access_tokens that can be used to query the Graph API on behalf of the page.

Connected with

  • FbGraph::User

Fetch

pages = FbGraph::User.me(ACCESS_TOKEN).accounts
# => array of FbGraph::Page
pages.first.access_token
# => String if "manage_pages" permission has been granted, nil if not.

Notes

Access token of the page

Using given access token, you can do those things as the page, not as yourself.

  • update the page’s wall

  • create new page’s album and upload photos into it

  • create and manage an event

  • etc.

See RDoc for FbGraph::Page for more details.

page = FbGraph::User.me(ACCESS_TOKEN).accounts.first
page.access_token
# => given because "manage_pages" permission has been granted.
page.feed!(:message => 'Updating via FbGraph')
# => update the page's wall, not the user's wall
