Facebook open graph API test made with Lumen

Get the repo from github

git clone github.com/castro732/facebook-api-test

cd into the folder and install the dependencies

cd facebook-api-test

composer install

You can use any server app, but for simplicity we will use php built-in server

php -S localhost:8008 -t public

If you use another port, take note as you will need this for the next step.

Make a copy of the .env.example file, and fill your data

APP_URL= It's the base url, in this case it should be "http://localhost:8008"

FB_APP_ID= It's the App ID of the facebook APP used to access the graph API.

FB_APP_SECRET= It's the App secret of the facebook APP used to access the graph API.

You can get your app ID and secret from https://developers.facebook.com/apps

After this, your .env file should look something like this:

APP_URL="http://localhost:8008"
FB_APP_ID=123321
FB_APP_SECRET=123abccba321

• Just head to the base url and the app will ask you to login to facebook in order to get the access token.
• Once logged in, your token will be saved to the session and will be displayed to you, so you can copy it and use it elsewhere.

• If you do not already have an access token, you need to get one from the browser, as stated previously.

• You can now access /profile/facebook/{id} where {id} is a valid facebook account id
• You will get a 200 response containing the info for the given id.

For example:

{
  "first_name": "Morgan",
  "last_name": "Grice",
  "id": "123"
}

• If you use an invalid {id} you will get a 422 response with an error

For example:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "(#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: 12332132131321321321"
  }
}

• Send a GET request with the headers Accept: application/json and Authorization: Bearer {your-access-token}

GET /profile/facebook/{id}

• You will get the same responses as in the browser.
