Facebook Graph API and Generic Access token

Question

If I understand correctly, the Graph API enables access to public pages using a generic access token. I\'m finding however that many public pages are not returned in search resu

Answer 1

By specifying GRAPH API user token, you simply meant that you are using user preferences and information . if your intention is to fetch some public page information , then you need that page userid or username . And , if you are intention is to grab all the public data which is available for your particular user , then you have to pass oAUTH system,Since indirectly you are accessing his information which is meant public under some facebook govern rules .

Accessing public page by providing user id

https://graph.facebook.com/19292868552

By writing the id of that page,you ca access its information. Now the question is how to access the id of that particular page, Manually just visit that page --> photo album . on the top of that page,you will see something like "Album Videos" . Just visit any of that link.now see,woola the id of that page is visible to you . something like this url

    http://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=176101909092314

And btw,if you are interested in performing search , then you need to specify user token. facebook do some algorithmic search for all users and track user activities . So , the result will not always the same for you and me , as an example .
