Thank you Justin, very helpful, success for you

[simonebrazzi]

Very useful video, I have seen a lot about graph api, but this is simple and direct to the solution

[labanjohnson]

Lol this into. Thanks for not being boring!

[pedrojesusrangelgil]

Justin very good info...I'm following your steps but in my case "Permissions" does not show "user_birthday", "user_posts"...any idea why is that? Thanks!

[pataQtasuxumuxu]

A very informative video indeed. I have a question though. Is it possible to get events that are happening near me? The same way I see events in the discover tab in my facebook page. Thank you

Hi Justin, hope you're doing well. Do you know how to get something like a profile picture from a public facebook page?

[eatsamulhaq]

Hi Justin. Great video but I want to know how can I get other people public information with Graph API?

[cjchin]

Hi Justin, thank you for the video. But how can I query other people's information? Let's say it is a public page for that page's information. Will it work if I stay in developer mode?

[dperezc]

Thanks!
There is something is not clear to me, is it possible to get permission for all instagram insights in developer mode? it would be just for my instagram account or can I get access to other creator/business account data with their permission?

[dperezc]

Justin other question for you 😬, is there a way, on the instagram graph api, to get permission of a business account that doesn't belongs to me to get their insights data?

[sezaitunca]

Hi Justin, How can I get Facebook groups comments with Graph API? Thanks

[clarasexy]

Hi Justin My Page is telling me this when i tried uploading Videos (#190) this method must be called with a page access token please what should i do?

[Johnessy]

Is it possible to get information about other pages without them needing to give permissions like views, titles, videos, etc. All info about videos really?

[xihuny]

I get the following message when I go to explorer "Sorry, the link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed." Why?

[ShioTV]

it's very useful tutorial but in my case when i'm trying to fetch posts it returns an empty array:( what can i do?

[johnmcaulay]

Thanks bro, this is the intro I needed, I was mindlessly clicking through the app / developer page trying to figure it out for a couple of hours before I stumbled across this video.

I have a question. I'm building some digital signage for a local Rotary group and they want their Facebook posts to show from their page on the signage. The display is totally non-interactive and just displays some info from various sources (Prismic, weather API etc). The info is broken up into boxes and the boxes automatically scroll when there is too much info to fit in the associated box.

As I delve into this Facebook API I can't help but think that the Facebook API isn't going to be able to help me. I'm concerned about tokens expiring, and given this project is set to run on a Raspberry Pi (i.e. the web server will be hosted on the Pi and the Pi will auto run Chromium to display the page in full screen mode) how will the app review process go for me?

Is there a way to get a "never expiring token" I've found a few tutorials on how to do this, but it seems they are a little old and this may no longer be possible. In that case is there a way to get a "refresh token" which I've used with other APIs in the past just as the MS Graph API etc.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
