Creating A Test User on Facebook

Question

I am new to Facebook application development. I want to create a test user for my application but when I try it using the API

 https://graph.facebook.com/APP_ID/accounts/test-users?installed=true&
name=FULL_NAME&permissions=read_stream&method=post&access_token=APP_ACCESS_TOKEN

It displays the following error:

{
  "error": {
  "type": "OAuthException",
  "message": "(#15) The method you are calling must be called 
              with an app secret signed session"
  }
}

I have read & followed the steps mentioned on

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/

Still the problem persists. Please guide me, what should I do?

Thank You.

Answer 1

You need to get a valid access token - the application access token will do. To get this use:

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET&grant_type=client_credentials

substituting YOUR_APP_ID & YOUR_APP_SECRET with your respective values.

This will return a valid access token that you can substitute for APP_ACCESS_TOKEN in:

https://graph.facebook.com/APP_ID/accounts/test-users?installed=true&name=FULL_NAME&permissions=read_stream&method=post&access_token=APP_ACCESS_TOKEN
