Facebook API & Instagram API

Here’s what my coworker Kandice figure out for us on the FB api.  I am thankful to get this information from her, as she spent 7 hours trying to figure it out; she showed me how to do it in 3 minutes!

In the Facebook for developers site, after you have set up your app:

  1. Must have a contact email
  2. Go to Status & Review, on the right, make public.
  3. Go to Tools, Access Token; Grant permission to your app (its the first link)
  4. In the search box up top, search for “like box”; this box will give you recent posts and some stuff.  Make sure the URL is the clients FB URL.

I don’t remember it being this hard the last time I worked with some FB iframe stuff!

I found this article for working with the Instagram API, so I am archiving it here because I think I will need it soon!
