Solution
Yes, you need an Access Token to fetch posts made by a Facebook Page. As the page posts are public, any access token will work. You should use an app access token as it `never expires`.
- Visit https://developers.facebook.com/apps and create a new app
- Fill in the desired App Name and Namespace
- In the section 'Select how your app integrates with Facebook' choose 'Website with Facebook Login'
- Enter your website URL in the 'Site URL' field. Remember to add a trailing '/'
- Visit here to get your `App Token`.
Make calls to the graph API to fetch page posts
https://graph.facebook.com/pageID/feed?access_token=your_token
Problem
I'm trying to get wall posts from a certain user using the JavaScript Facebook SDK. When I use the graph API Explorer, it works fine; but when I try the same thing on my website, I get the following error: ``` code: 104 message: "An access token is required to request this resource." type: "OAuthException" ``` Where can I find my access token, so that I can show my company's Facebook page stream on my website?
