[responsive-muse]

Here are extended instructions to get your Facebook Access Token.

1. Go to https://developers.facebook.com You will need to sign up and create a new app with default options.
OPTIONAL: It´s recommended to add URL of the website where you will use this widget in your Facebook app settings.

2. Go to your App by clicking on your Facebook thumbnail on the top right.
There you will see you App ID and App Secret like in the screenshot. You must click on “show” to see the App secret.

3. Copy the URL below in a new empty browser tab and replace your ID and App secret in this URL:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id={app-id}&client_secret={app-secret}&grant_type=client_credentials

Replace {app-id} and {app-secret} with your own values. Remember to also replace “{” and “}”

So the URL to generate the token should be:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX&client_secret=XXXXXXXXXXXX&grant_type=client_credentials

4. If you have followed the instructions correctly, you will get you token. Access token will appear in a blank page and you will see something like this:
