Create an Application to Represent the Connector
To retrieve content from Facebook, you must create an application to represent the connector. Facebook will provide an application key and application secret. You will need these values to configure OAuth authentication.
The application must have the following permission scopes:
public_profile
user_friends
email
user_about_me
user_birthday
user_education_history
user_events
user_games_activity
user_hometown
user_likes
user_location
user_managed_groups
user_photos
user_posts
user_relationships
user_relationship_details
user_religion_politics
user_tagged_places
user_videos
user_website
user_work_history
read_custom_friendlists
read_insights
read_audience_network_insights
read_page_mailboxes
pages_show_list
ads_read
pages_messaging
pages_messaging_subscriptions
pages_messaging_phone_number
To create a Facebook application
- Go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps. Log in as the user who will administer the application. The account must have been verified with either a mobile telephone number or credit card.
- Click Create New App.
- Give the App a name, and click Continue.
-
Complete the security check and click Continue.
The App Summary page opens. The page includes an App Key and App Secret.
NOTE: When you create the application, ensure that the Redirect URL matches the location where you will run the OAuth configuration tool, for example http://localhost:7878/
, as specified by the RedirectURL
parameter in the OAuth tool configuration file oauth_tool.cfg
.
